Lionsgate and Fathom are bringing every Twilight film back to U.S. theaters for a five‑day run from Oct. 29–Nov. 2, 2025, kicking off a wave of anniversary events. Fans get more than screenings: a Forks festival on Sept. 11, special book editions on Sept. 30, a U.S. “Twilight in Concert” tour (Sept. 12–Nov. 30) and soundtrack reissues on Oct. 31. The campaign ties into a revived official YouTube channel and merchandise push, aiming to turn nostalgia into a multi‑week, multi‑format celebration.

Key Facts

Why this timed rerelease turns nostalgia into revenue this autumn 2025

Lionsgate and Fathom are packaging screenings, live concerts, festival tourism and new editions into a single calendar window, turning a one‑week theatrical run into a months‑long commercial moment. By sequencing the Forks festival (Sept. 11), concert tour (Sept. 12–Nov. 30), special book editions (Sept. 30) and soundtrack reissues (Oct. 31) immediately before the Oct. 29–Nov. 2 theatrical dates, rights holders maximize cross‑promotion and merchandise sales. The approach leverages both legacy box‑office muscle and experiential events to monetize a built‑in fanbase ahead of holiday retail.

What the numbers show about Twilight’s continuing commercial pull in 2025

Lionsgate’s rerelease and coordinated events emphasize measurable revenue levers: theater ticket demand, festival tourism, book and soundtrack sales, and concert ticketing. The saga’s lifetime >$3.3 billion gross proves durable mainstream appeal. Relaunching the official YouTube channel and timed product drops signals a rights‑holder strategy now common across legacy franchises: low‑risk theatrical windows combined with ancillary content to revive catalog value this year.
