It has arrived. “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2″ hit theaters at 10 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 15), which means fans have witnessed the final “Twilight Saga” film make its debut. But just how big will the movie be? According to experts, “Breaking Dawn — Part 2″ looks like it will have the most massive opening weekend for a “Twilight” movie.

Up until this point in time, it was The Twilight Saga: New Moon” that held the franchise’s biggest opening weekend with $142.8 million (interestingly enough, it’s also the worst-reviewed movie in the series). “Breaking Dawn — Part 1″ comes in second with $138 million, and “Part 2″ looks to break both of their records.

The experts over at Box Office Mojo expect “Breaking Dawn — Part 2″ to rake in $158 million this weekend (including the early Thursday showtimes), which will have it vying with “The Dark Knight’s” $158.4 million opening for the number four spot on the list of best opening weekends. For some perspective, “The Hunger Games” debuted to $152 million, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2″ came out with $169 million and “The Avengers” has the best opening weekend with $207 million.

All told, “The Twilight Saga” has made a total of $2.5 billion worldwide, with $1.071 billion coming from the United States alone. Not too shabby for a story that started with its author, Stephenie Meyer, dreaming about a man telling his girlfriend that he’s a vampire in the middle of a meadow.

Fellow soundtrack artists Nikki Reed and Paul McDonald will also hit the stage outside L.A.’s Nokia Theatre on Saturday.

While Twi-hards eagerly await the Los Angeles premiere of Breaking Dawn – Part 2, with many fans already camped-out outside Nokia Theatre, Christina Perri is providing a bit of early entertainment.

The singer, featured on the film’s soundtrack with “A Thousand Years (Part 2),” will hit the stage for a live concert on Saturday right outside the theater beginning at 1 p.m. The two-hour show – hosted by Time Warner Cable — will also include a performance from Twilight actress Nikki Reed and her American Idol husband Paul McDonald, whose duet “You’re All I Ever Needed” is featured in the film’s ending credits. Anya Marina and A Boy and His Kite will also perform.

TWC has also enlisted the help of several Breaking Dawn cast members to dish out a free continental breakfast for fans on Sunday at Chick Hearn Court and Georgia Street. In addition to a free bagel and juice, fans will also be gifted with a free Twilight T-shirt and goodie bag.

Two years after Robert Pattinson’s wax figure was unveiled, Taylor Lautner is finally getting his due. Madame Tussauds New York will unveil Lautner’s wax figure on Nov. 15 at 11 a.m. ET. Pictured is the clay sculpture that artists used to create the mold and cast of his head. We have definite stubble. As for what clothing Lautner will be immortalized in, the press release says he’s “styled in a tailored charcoal grey suit and black dress shirt with an open collar.” I suppose that’s more timeless than a soft charcoal grey T-shirt underneath a soft black leather jacket, which could be removed in the summer months to showcase his biceps. Not that I’ve given this any thought.

Is Twilight coming to the small screen?

A new take on the popular vampire and werewolf movie series is in development, and one idea circulating is a TV show, reports Moviehole.net.

With the final film in the Twilight saga set to be released Nov. 16, many people are interested in keeping the high-grossing Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment franchise — based on the books by Stephenie Meyer — alive. Potential avenues include a “TV show or film spin-off, merely set in the same world as the one in the movies but not featuring the main trio,” according to the site’s sources.

With Bella, Edward and Jacob out of the picture, on whom would such a project focus? “One area of interest” is the Wolf Pack.

But is there room on the tube, which already features the beasts of True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf and occasionally Supernatural, for even more wolves and vampires? Is there another set of characters from the Twilight books and films that should be explored instead? And which network can you see hosting such a series?

Overview

Attention Twilight Fans, the World Premiere of The Twilight Saga finale, “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ is nearly upon us. In order to give all faithful fans a fair chance to take part in the festivities planned leading up to the premiere, Summit Entertainment is putting in place some new procedures for this year’s fan camping. Due to the high demand to attend this year’s Fan Camp and the limited amount of space available, FAN CAMP TICKETS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH A RANDOM DRAWING OF ALL ELIGIBLE REGISTRATION SUBMISSIONS DURING THE REGISTRATION PERIOD.

The process to attend this year’s Fan Camp will happen in 4 phases:

Phase 1: Fan Camp Registration
Phase 2: Fan Camp Drawing
Phase 3: Fan Camp Ticket Notification
Phase 4: Fan Camp Check-in

There are approximately 1,200 Fan Camp tickets available in total. Each ticket is for one (1) spot at the Fan Camp. Fan Camp spots will be determined by a random drawing to be conducted after the Registration Period has closed. The winners of the drawing will be notified by email with instructions on how to pick up their tickets and when to report to Fan Camp for check-in.

This year all campers will be in the same Fan Camp area. Selection for a Fan Camp ticket does not guarantee eligibility for any other fan events, prizes or drawings. All special fan events and prizes will be determined by additional and separate random drawings.

“Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ is the last movie of “The Twilight Saga,” which also means there is one final soundtrack album left as well. So for a series known for its music, obviously the last release is going to be big. And who is bigger than Green Day?

Summit Entertainment along with Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records are releasing the track list for the soundtrack album for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ officially here on Yahoo! Movies. And Green Day, the five-time Grammy Award-winning punk trio, are contributing a song to the series for the first time.

So how did Green Day get involved in the hugely popular vampire romance? Mike Dirnt, bassist for the band, told Yahoo!, “When we were asked to be part of the ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2′ soundtrack, we readily agreed because the films are an insane cultural phenomenon, and we have always been impressed with the way the ‘Twilight’ soundtracks are so carefully curated.”

While you wouldn’t necessarily think of the guys in the band being “Twi-hards,” lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong did tell Spinner.com in 2009 that if their Broadway show “American Idiot” were to be adapted into a movie, he’d want Edward Cullen himself, Robert Pattinson, to play the lead. Armstrong said, “He’s a good actor. There’s still more to come with that kid.”

Who else is on the album? Here’s the complete track list:

1. Where I Come From — Passion Pit
2. Bittersweet — Ellie Goulding
3. The Forgotten — Green Day
4. Fire In The Water — Feist
5. Everything And Nothing — The Boom Circuits
6. The Antidote — St. Vincent
7. Speak Up — POP ETC
8. Heart of Stone — Iko
9. Cover Your Tracks — A Boy and His Kite
10. Ghosts — James Vincent McMorrow
11. All I’ve Ever Needed — Paul McDonald & Nikki Reed
12. New For You — Reeve Carney
13. A Thousand Years (Part Two) – Christina Perri
14. Plus Que Ma Prope Vie — Carter Burwell

Fans are clearly eager to see how this one plays out.

The advance first-day ticket sales of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 have far surpassed the previous first-day ticket sales for Breaking Dawn Part 1 E! News confirms.

By how much, you ask?

A lot, but don’t worry, we’ll go into more detail.

Around this time last year, Breaking Dawn Part 1 managed to rake in $626,000 on its first-day advance ticket sales, but Part 2′s first-day advance tickets, which went on sale Monday, brought in a whopping—wait for it—$1.17 million! That’s an 87 percent increase!

A good number of the sales, about a quarter of them, went toward The Twilight Saga marathon purchase, which screens all the films before the release of Breaking Dawn Part 2.

In case you didn’t already have this date marked in your calendars, the final installment of the Twilight Saga premieres Nov. 16.
