'Twilight' film studio going after 'Breaking Dawn' photo leaker

As you know, a few weeks ago, several images from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn were leaked to the internet, causing the filmmakers to reach out to Twilight fans with a request not to look at or distribute the images for the sake of maintaining the element of surprise.

Later, Robert Pattinson expressed his dismay over the matter, saying "Twilight fans, punish them. Police your own."

Now, it seems, film studio Summit Entertainment is taking action on the matter. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has "filed a lawsuit against ten John Does . . . so that Summit could serve subpoenas and identify anonymous individuals who were distributing photos on Twitter."

Summit/Filmmaker Statement Regarding 'Breaking Dawn' Leaks

Filmmaker Statement Regarding Breaking Dawn Leaks

Dear Twilight Saga fans,

As some of you may know, pictures and screen grabs of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn as a work in progress have leaked on the internet. We are extremely proud of this film and also extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage.

The film and these images are not yet ready or in their proper context. They were illegally obtained and their early dissemination is deeply upsetting to the actors, the filmmakers and Summit who are working so hard to bring these movies to fruition to you in November 2011 and November 2012.

Please, for those who are posting, stop. And please, though the temptation is high, don’t view or pass on these images. Wait for the film in its beautiful, finished entirety to thrill you.

Sincerely,

Stephenie Meyer, Bill Condon, Wyck Godfrey and Summit Entertainment

Summit Entertainment’s Post ‘Twilight’ plans are ‘Divergent’

Taking a page from its “Twilight” success, Summit Entertainment is putting its future in the hands of book adaptations. A few years ago, Summit convinced Stephenie Meyer to sell her “Twilight Saga,” and $750 million later, we think they might be on to something. As they close the final chapter on the popular franchise, Summit is sucking up book rights like a hungry vampire.

Summit Entertainment Addresses Tsunami Concerns for Breaking Dawn Cast

Summit Entertainment addressed some confusion on how the Tsunami was affecting the Breaking Dawn cast. Various versions of what was happening with the cast started to emerge on Twitter and elsewhere. They released this brief statement on their official Facebook page in order to quell rumor and desensationalize the story as it related to their cast and crew:

“Due to the tsunami advisory, filming of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn has been delayed. All cast and crew were evacuated to the movie production’s base camp. Everyone is safe and sound.”

'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' two-parter expected to bring in $1.2 billion

According to Box Office Mojo, the combined worldwide total gross for Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.8 billion (note: that's just box office - not including DVD/Blu-Ray sales, merchandising, TV rights, etc.).

New Moon brought in the highest total bank with over $709.8 million worldwide, but Eclipse was right behind it with about $698.5 million. Twilight was the kick-off for this franchise, but it debuted with an impressive $392.6 million.

The estimated budget for each was as follows: Twilight - $37 million; New Moon - $50 million; and Eclipse - $68 million.

Revenue From Twilight Movies Eases Summit’s Financial Options

The Hollywood reporter got the exclusive on what is happening over at Summit in regards to refinancing. Talk of this first started earlier this year, but now, The Hollywood Reporter has learned the following:

‘Twilight’ Maker Summit Seeks $800 Million for Films

Summit Entertainment LLC, maker of the “Twilight” vampire movies, is seeking to raise $800 million to repay debt, finance production and pay a dividend to its investors.

The proposed refinancing includes a $600 million, seven- year term loan and a $200 million revolving credit facility, New York-based Moody’s Investors Service said today in a report giving the company a B1, non-investment grade rating.

The company plans to pay a special distribution to investors, according to the report. They include investment banker Rizvi Traverse Management and Participant Media, a Beverly Hills, California-based film production company founded by former EBay Inc. President Jeff Skoll, according to both companies’ websites.

The majority of the equity “remains in the company,” Paul Pflug, a Summit spokesman, said in an interview. The studio, based in Santa Monica, California, sought the refinancing in “the normal course of business,” he said.

Summit is benefiting from “significant” cash flow from the “Twilight” films that reduces risk for investors, Moody’s said. The first three movies in the series generated $1.8 billion in global ticket sales, according to Box Office Mojo, an industry researcher. Two more films are planned.

Financing is being arranged by JPMorgan Chase & Co. and UBS AG, according to two people with knowledge of the plans.

Summit, formed in 2007 with funding from investors including Merrill Lynch, was in talks last year with creditors of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. on a possible tie-up.
