Tsunami Evacuation, Summit Anticipates Breaking Dawn Box Office, and Meet Peter Facinelli

March 11th, 2011

Twilight Cast

Due to tsunami warnings brought about from the huge earthquakes in Japan, the Twilight cast and crew were evacuated from Vancouver Island where they were filming Breaking Dawn. Filming is on hold and there is no news on when it will resume. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. [reuters.com]

Isle Esme

Summit Entertainment is projecting quite a take for both parts of Breaking Dawn. Their estimate for box office sales alone is 1.2 billion dollars! That doesn’t even count DVD/Blu-Ray, merchandise, etc. etc. That’s almost as much as the total of the first three movies combined – $1.8 billion.
