"Forever Begins Again": The Twilight Saga Returns to Theaters for 20th Anniversary Celebration
Get ready, Twihards! The iconic Twilight Saga is officially making a grand return to theaters this October 2025, igniting excitement among a passionate fanbase eager to relive the supernatural romance on the big screen. This highly anticipated Twilight movie re-release event marks a significant milestone: the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer's groundbreaking first novel, Twilight.
A Cinematic Event for a New Generation and Loyal Fans
Lionsgate, in partnership with Fathom Events, is orchestrating this special cinematic engagement, bringing all five films back to cinemas nationwide from October 29 to November 2. This limited-run event allows both original Team Edward vs. Team Jacob devotees and a new generation of fans to experience the epic love story of Bella, Edward, and Jacob as it was meant to be seen.
The schedule for the re-release will feature one film each night of the five-day event:
- Twilight (2008)
- The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
- The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 (2011)
- The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012)
Beyond just the screenings, attendees can look forward to exclusive roundtable discussions accompanying each film, featuring Stephenie Meyer herself, producers Wyck Godfrey and Karen Rosenfelt, and other key figures involved in the franchise. This offers a unique opportunity for fans to gain deeper insights into the creation and legacy of their beloved vampire romance films.
Celebrating Two Decades of a Cultural Phenomenon
The timing of this Twilight 20th anniversary celebration is no coincidence. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel, first published in October 2005, captivated millions and spawned a global phenomenon that transcended books and films. The series redefined young adult fantasy and solidified the careers of stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.
The original theatrical runs were characterized by packed midnight premieres and fervent fan debates, leaving an indelible mark on pop culture. This nostalgia movie re-release aims to rekindle that communal excitement, offering long-time fans a chance to "relive the magic" and new viewers the opportunity to finally witness the saga's grandeur on the big screen.
Beyond the Silver Screen: A Full-Fledged Anniversary Celebration
The cinematic re-release is just one facet of a broader celebration planned by Lionsgate. Fans can also anticipate:
- Collectible Book Editions: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will release three new collectible editions of Twilight on September 30, including a deluxe hardcover and a 20th-anniversary paperback.
- Soundtrack Reissues: Warner Music Group is reissuing the original soundtracks for Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse on October 31.
- "Forever Twilight in Forks" Festival: The real-life town of Forks, Washington, the setting for the books, will host its annual festival from September 11 to 14, featuring themed events, panels, and an appearance by author Stephenie Meyer.
The Twilight Saga's return to theaters is more than just a series of screenings; it's a testament to the enduring power of its storytelling and the unwavering dedication of its fanbase. "Forever Begins Again" isn't just a tagline—it's an invitation to fall in love with the world of Forks, vampires, and werewolves all over again.
