Twenty years after Stephenie Meyer’s first book, the Twilight franchise is coming back to theaters as a five-film marathon from Oct 29–Nov 2, 2025. Lionsgate and Fathom are staging roundtable events, a 60-city live-to-film concert tour and soundtrack reissues timed for Halloween — moves meant to turn nostalgia into ticket sales and merch revenue. Fans get collectible books and Forks events; studios test whether legacy franchises can still deliver headline box-office and renewed music and publishing demand this autumn.
5 quick facts fans must know about Twilight’s Oct–Nov 2025 run
Need to know:
- Lionsgate & Fathom will screen all five Twilight films Oct 29–Nov 2, 2025.
- Films have grossed $3.3 billion worldwide; the marathon includes roundtable chats.
- A 60‑city live-to-film concert tour runs Sept 12–Nov 30, 2025 (first film).

Why the 2025 Twilight re-release matters for studios, fans and sales
This autumn’s push is more than nostalgia: it’s an experiment in monetizing IP across theaters, live events, music and publishing in one coordinated window. Studios face softer summer returns in 2025, so proven franchises — especially those with passionate communities — are low-risk bets to drive late-year revenue. The package (films, concerts, soundtrack reissues, collectible books) tests whether cross‑platform tie-ins boost ticket and merch take while feeding streaming and catalog interest ahead of awards-season releases and holiday buying.
What fans and cast said about the 5-film re-release on X and social feeds
Fans on X praised the marathon as “the perfect fall event,” while some cultural commentators predicted a nostalgia surge. Former cast and franchise supporters publicly encouraged the idea; Peter Facinelli and other alumni have voiced hope for reissues in recent posts. Reaction spans genuine excitement, meme-driven mockery and commerce-focused conversation about collectibles and concerts — a sign the franchise still commands attention across demographics and influencer circles.

How $3.3B box-office and music reissues explain Twilight’s 2025 comeback
The five films’ cumulative global haul ($3.3B) gives Lionsgate a strong catalog asset to re-monetize in theaters and tie into soundtrack sales. Reissuing three soundtracks on Oct 31 leverages both streaming spikes and vinyl/collector demand. The 60-city concert tour also creates ancillary revenue and promotes repeat attendance for local theatrical screenings. Together, these moves aim to convert legacy awareness into short-term revenue and longer-term streaming and merchandise traction.
What 6 key figures show about Twilight’s theatrical comeback in Oct–Nov 2025

| Book editions | 3 collectible editions | Sept 30, 2025 | Drives publishing revenue |
