Breaking Dawn Release Dates Announced

By , About.com GuideAugust 4, 2010

Follow me on:

Summit Entertainment finally announced the release date for the final Twilight film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Brace yourself Teams Edward and Jacob - and all those claiming to be part of Team Switzerland - Breaking Dawn Part 2 won't be released in theaters until November 16, 2012. Yes, 2012.

The most recent Twilight film, Eclipse, hit theaters on June 30th and Twilighters will have to wait until November 18, 2011 for the next installment in the teen vampire love story saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1. Eclipse is the only film of the 5 part series to hit theaters in a month other than November.

Bill Condon is directing both parts of Breaking Dawn, with filming expected to begin this fall. All members of the main cast, including Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, and Jackson Rathbone, are returning for the final two films.

I absolutely hate the twilight movies. Kristen Stewart and Robert pattinson are terrible and ugly actors. The producer for this sucks and I’m sick of Harry Potter being dissed by your stupid crap

You suck at life you Harry potter nerd ! Twilight is twice as great!

(4) lilreaper88 says:

Does it really matter, they are both great movie series and I look forward to seeing the finale of both of them. Neither is better then the other because they are from two different genres.

i was impressed with how much better the movies are getting and the fact they are getting closer with the books in each movie made. the only thing pissing me off like crazy is the fact that they are making breaking dawn a two part movie, airing one in 2011 and waiting to show the second part in 2012! that’s total BS is u ask me. and honestly to all u haters of the movie, why would u even be on these sites and even base ur opinion cuz honestly…NO ONE gives a rats ass what u think or if u like it. if u don’t, stay away from these fan sites and w/e u have to say….just EAT IT!

November 30, 2010 at 3:59 pm
(8) terisa says:

Nicole has a good point. I love Twilight movies and I could care less about Harry Potter but I would never think to go to their fan sites and waste my time telling them that Twilight is better. Im really tired of the whole Twilight vs Harry Potter debate anyways!!

Very disappointed that they are taking so long to release the first part of breaking dawn:(;( I dont see why they would wait so long I now refuse to watch it in theaters, will now wait till it comes onto DVD.

December 12, 2010 at 12:07 am
(17) Kaitlyn says:

Crystal – I Seriously doubt you won’t see it in the theater. If you are a big enough fan to post on a fan site (I am too!) then you will so go to the theater, most likely opening night.

December 12, 2010 at 2:59 am
(18) Unimpressed Bella wannabe says:

So not happy that its taking forever to release this movie!!! Will still go see the movie and will keep rereading the books, just wanted to express my frustration that you are SLOW!!!!!

December 23, 2010 at 1:37 pm
(19) Colton says:

actually they’re not slow…the last two movies were released not even within a year with one another. I’m glad they’re taking their time to make sure the movie is good and fulfills the fan’s as well as the book’s expectations.

December 29, 2010 at 7:23 pm
(20) sophie says:

(21) Didy says:

I love it! i already read the book..i’m telling you, AWESOME! just wish there was more actions like Harry Potter and less drama love stories! but it’s gonna be a great movie :)

iam very upset tat the relasing dates is to late.

January 9, 2011 at 12:08 pm
(27) Katie says:

Midnight Sun is soo good and I would love for her to do all four books from Edwards perspective. Yeah its the same story but you get to find out so much more. It sucks that someone had to go leak the unfinished copy and piss off Stephanie Myers so she decideds to not finish the book and publish what shehas done on her website to tease us as punishment for seeing it before she was done :( they shoulda left it alone till it was completed. But I really hope she decideds to finish it one day cuz that would be awesome. I love twilight!!!

January 9, 2011 at 3:06 pm
(28) team jacob ( cuz hes hot ) says:

Wow why do we have to wait so long fo these movies to come out and the bettee not leavee anything out this time

January 9, 2011 at 3:10 pm
(29) person says:

The only part I hate abou ALL of these movies I the fact that Kristin Stewart and Roberr Pattenson make the WORST Edward and Bella everthey are too much of crappy actors

January 9, 2011 at 9:34 pm
(30) sohail akbar says:

Awesome movie. I got a little bit heart when i heard that there will be only five parts of twilight i wish it should be more.

January 10, 2011 at 2:32 pm
(31) Tynk says:

Y are they comparing harry potter to twilight? That is like comparing oil and water! I mean its wizards and vampires! Obviously robert pattinson liked them both enough to be n both movies! The actors in both shows are great and i m on pins and needles waitin for the next movie!!

January 13, 2011 at 7:25 pm
(32) Zee says:

Okay twilight is amazing!! Annoying you have to wait so long. Hharry potter is in a class of it’s own just like twilight… And the actors fit perfectly Robert and Kristen okay it so well obviously you don’t understand the books or story line if u think they’re bad actors :)

January 15, 2011 at 6:45 pm
(33) jsmith says:

yea i love the twilight books tha movies good 2 but they change alot like in eclipse but still cant wait 2 c breaking dawn just hate its in 2 parts n have 2 wait so long and oh yea harry potter v twilight come on twilight hands down n by way kristen stewart n robert pattenson are so freakin hot its not even funny they couldnt have done better job casting

January 16, 2011 at 11:26 pm

January 17, 2011 at 5:35 pm
(35) Heather says:

I would much rather read thew books. They are much more detailed than any of the movies.

January 18, 2011 at 9:25 pm
(36) Twilightfreak says:

I am completely torn about how I feel about waiting so long for the movies. Glad they are taking their time, I would absolutely hate to be dissappointed after all my excitement. Frustration cause I’m so impatient. I’m just gonna have to read the books again from start to finish. I have a movie projector in my head while I read the books. To my surprise my mind’s movies were quite vivid even though I hadn’t seen the actual movies yet. GREAT WRITING!

January 21, 2011 at 8:17 am
(37) Hurr says:

So, what – everybody is either going to rant on about the twilight movies taking longer to be released, or everybody is going to complain about them not being thought through enough.
Longer waiting = better movie
Less waiting = sloppy directing

But hey, either way, at least you get to complain.

Jackasses.

(38) rapunzelkh says:

@annalise~ you must be blind if you think Kristen & Rob are ugly. Please keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

I dislike when people compare Twilight saga to Harry Potter. They are not in same category of fantasy, therefore shouldn’t be said one is better than the other. They are “both” good movies!

What I’d like to know is why is Breaking Dawn part 1 & 2 a year apart? That’s ridiculous! There’s no reason why it can’t be a few months apart like Harry Potter Deathly Hollows 1 & 2 are. Year apart is torture to us fans! lol

January 28, 2011 at 4:12 am
(39) Tisha says:

well if part 1 is coming out so much sooner than part 2… it gives me mo time to c part 1 ove and ove and ove and ove again… and read the books ove and ove and ove gain…ps i still hav a social life even if it dont sound like it… just love twiligh soooooooo

(40) Alexandria says:

I’m glad these films are getting better and better as they come out. Given, they are taking time on Breaking Dawn to milk more money out of the franchise I think. Quality is never really an issue with this series because movie execs know it can be a load of crap and fans will devour it (see: Twilight, scene: “Hang on, spider monkey“).

I had a longer post but it’s basically this: You’re ridiculous for finding Bella’s choice of killing herself to be with “the one” instead of living her life and making her own choices a ‘sweet idea.’ And should be saddened by the fact that the Harry Potter series promotes intelligence and strong moral female characters that are immediately written off because they don’t decide they can’t live without their significant other. Seriously read both series before passing judgement. Bella is hailed as a wonderful female character because she’s plain. You are able to project yourself onto Bella’s character, effectively making her story your own. Get this through your head, sit down with an HP novel, and decide if it’s “romantic” being verbally and mentally abused by your significant other. Unless he decides that for you.

(46) Sandi says:

Hey Annalise

If you don’t like the Twilight series or the actors then you don’t have to watch it. That’s the great thing about having freedom of choice. I do advise that you keep such snide comments to yourself however, as some of us actually do like the story and the actors.

You may have your opinion, this you are entitled to, but if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.

TWILIGHT deserves it’s fans. I would say “The series really shows many things which cannot be expressed but felt in real life”

March 10, 2011 at 7:06 pm
(56) Manda says:

I’m a twilight fan and love the books, but I think I would rather read Jacob and Renesmees story than I story I’ve basically already read before (Midnight Sun).

March 15, 2011 at 11:33 pm
(57) Lorraine says:

That is rediculous that the movies are being released so far apart. I sure hope we make it to see part 2. Matter fact I’m not going to go watch part 1 until part 2 comes out.

March 21, 2011 at 2:29 pm
(58) crystal says:

first off the movie is being made into 2 parts because there is so much information from the book that they need in the movie.the other movies were made in one part because they didnt need as much information as the final book needs most of the book is so important that they need to split it into 2 parts otherwise the movie would run to long and there is a limit on how long one movie can run.

March 21, 2011 at 2:40 pm
(59) crystal1986 says:

On August 28, 2008, Meyer halted the writing of Midnight Sun in response to the illegal leak of twelve chapters of the unfinished manuscript on the Internet. She stated, “If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn’t dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.”[1] She made the twelve-chaptered draft available on her website in fairness to her readers, now that the novel has been compromised before its intended publication date.[4] Meyer also stated that she doesn’t believe the manuscript was leaked with any malicious intent, and would not give any names.[1]

In a November 2008 interview, Meyer said that, “It’s really complicated, because everyone now is in the driver’s seat, where they can make judgment calls. [...] I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don’t feel alone.”[5] She said that her goal was to go for around two years without hearing about Midnight Sun, and she thought that she would begin working on the novel again once she was sure that “everyone’s forgotten about it”.

OMG! I can’t wait to see Breaking Dawn! I love Harry Potter too! It’s really sad how everyone argues about which movie is better!! :@
They’re both good! SO GET OVER IT!
TWILIGHT // HARRY POTTER 4 EVER!

(61) Viviana says:

I got to say i have a feeling these two last movies are going to rock!!! I just hope they would have made the movies rated R instead of PG 13 i think its not going to be worth watching it if there is not going to be any great parts in the movie that involve Renesmee’s birth in close view or the sex scene!! But i just have to accept it :/

And to all those HATERS if have nothing nice to say then way are u guys in this website or any website that has to do with the Twilight Saga!?!? I support all the people that love Twilight!!!

I hope Stephanie Meyers continues with Midnight Sun because i always wondered about what Edward was thinking about in the book Twilight!! Hopefully she sees how much the book means to US!!! Cant she see that we love her BOOKS!!!!!!!

April 6, 2011 at 5:55 pm
(62) #1 Twilight Lover says:

I heard that Stephanie Meyer stopped writting Midnight Sun because all of her fans keep asking about it. Well of course we r…dah. We love her books and all of the movies. I also heard she will continue to write it when everyone stop questioning her and for get about it. Like I can do that. But I will if that what it does to get her to write it. I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!! If you didnt notice…Stephanie has the book Midnight Sun on her website but only about six or eight chapters and it was so damn AWESOME!!! Luv ya Twi-hearts

i cant wait to wach breaking dawn i am the most greatest twilight than the others…

(64) Becka says:

I don’t even understand why people even say Harry Potter and Twilight in the same sentence much less compare them. I’ve read all the books and seen all the movies made so far for both series and they have nothing to do with the other. The story lines are not even similar. Twilight is a love story so obviously it isnt going to be as “action packed” as Harry Potter but it has qualities that Harry Potter does not. Both are exceptional series in their own way and one does not take anything away from the other. I patiently await the last movie to end both series. I doubt that there will ever be another series of movies and or books that could ever compete with either Harry Potter or Twilight. I comment both Authors for their incredible imaginations and amazing stories!

April 20, 2011 at 9:57 pm
(65) Sunny Lee says:

Agree with what most of you are saying. I’m frustrated at how long it will be before the movie is released. I can understand the first part taking so long but would be happier with a June release for part two. Or even all together in May 2012. I guess I’ll just wait impatiently

April 22, 2011 at 8:56 am
(66) KayJay says:

To compare Harry Potter and The Twilight series is ridiculous. They are about totally different storylines from two great authors. They are both great series and I would never disrespect either or say one is better than the other. If anyone out there does not like Harry Potter or Twilight, I don’t care. People should stop being such haters and go enjoy life a little. You can enjoy seeing vampires and wolves AND
wizards and witches…..

May 9, 2011 at 5:31 pm
(67) lee says:

seriously if u don’t like harry potter don’t watch it, don’t talk about and don’t go onto its fan websites. if you don’t like twilight don’t watch it, don’t talk about and don’t go onto it’s fan websites. simple

Can someone tell me what does Harry Potter and Twilight have in common because i don’t. Harry Potter is about witches and Wizards and Twilight was about Vampire and Werewolves so why is anyone fighting over two totally different things. So stop fighting over something so stupid. I didn’t care for Harry Potter to much but do you hear me complaining about either movie.
