Summit Expecting $1.2B profit from Breaking Dawn films.


Summit’s two coming blockbusters, “Breaking Dawn 1 and 2” will cost $263 million — not the $200 million previously reported — and are projected to bring in a staggering $1.2 billion for the studio, according to confidential documents obtained by TheWrap.

Taken from thehdroom:
"Summit Entertainment knows they have struck gold with the Twilight franchise and are pulling out all the stops to bring the hugely successful film series to a close.


The Wrap is reporting that Summit and its investors are spending $263 million to bring The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn to the big screen in a two-part finale, according to internal documents they've gained access to.
This tops previous estimates that placed the budget for each of the Breaking Dawn films around $100 million or $200 million combined.


While $263 million may sound like a big investment on stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and a film geared toward an - abeit big - niche audience, the potential profits are huge. The same documents place the prospective earnings on Breaking Dawn at around $1.2 million. You, I, or anyone else would gladly plunk down our cash for an investment that could reap a 5 times return in just a few years.


Summit's exposure with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2 is actually far lower than the $263 million budget. Part 1 is budgeted at $127.5 million while Summit's portion is only $38.4. Part 2 will cost $136.2 million and Summit will pay $51.2 million of that. Investors including Peak Capital Investment, who has a 48% stake, are paying for the rest.


The Wrap has posted the Breaking Dawn financial documents which you can download here.
The bottom line is Summit has gone from a struggling upstart studio in the red that took a gamble on Twilight with $37 million to turning annual profits in the $100+ million territory. By continuing to acquire films for distribution rather than produce them in-house, they continue to limit their risk and ride the Twilight dollars. At least until November 2013 when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 brings the ride to a close."

Tinsel Korey has since tweeted to reassure worried fans, saying: 
"Everything is fine. And we ending up getting all of our work done after all :)"

Robert Pattinson To Talk 'Water For Elephants' On 'MTV First' Live Stream!

Remember when Josh Horowitz tweeted to say that he'd have a Twilight related surprise in store for us?

He's enjoyed teasing us on twitter ever since, saying that something was on the way, but never giving any hints.
Well, today he finally spilled the beans.

Will it make up for the "Oscars Surprise" letdown?

Taken from MTV.com:


"RPattz will debut an exclusive movie clip and answer fan questions during Q&A streaming live on March 18 at 8:56 p.m. ET on MTV.com"

"Calling all Robert Pattinson fans! MTV News has a very special treat for all of you next Friday, March 18, when we'll present an exclusive sit-down interview with Robert Pattinson and premiere a previously-unseen clip from his new movie, "Water for Elephants."
Hosted by MTV News' Josh Horowitz, "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" airs next Friday at 8:56 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com. Fans can tune in to see RPattz introduce the new clip, followed immediately by a live 30-minute interview with Josh on MTV.com, during which the "Twilight" heartthrob will answer a few questions from fans.
Fans can begin submitting their pressing queries on Friday (March 11) on MTV.com or via Twitter (using @MTVNews/ hashtag #AskRob).
In order to properly prepare for this exclusive, must-see event, MTV News will also be pulling from its extensive Robert Pattinson library — dating back to the first "Twilight" flick — during a five-day countdown of our favorite MTV moments with the star. Fans should check in every day to see and comment on the latest clips!
Pattinson's eagerly anticipated "Water for Elephants" is based on the acclaimed best-seller by Sara Gruen. The story revolves around a veterinary school student Jacob (Pattinson), who meets and falls in love with Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), a star performer in a circus around the time of the Great Depression. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top and connect over their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds — including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, August (Christoph Waltz) — Jacob and Marlena pursue lasting love."
