What a year Robert Pattinson is having so far. The actor starred alongside Zendaya in the critically acclaimed cringe comedy The Drama, which emerged as a word-of-mouth hit in theaters earlier this year. The Drama grossed more than $130 million worldwide against a reported budget of $28 million. Interestingly, Pattinson and Zendaya will appear alongside each other in two more movies this year — The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, and then in Dune: Part Three, directed by Denis Villeneuve. The latter film isn’t the first fantasy-adjacent threequel that Pattinson has starred in. Many years ago, Pattinson was at the forefront of the Twilight Saga franchise, also starring Kristen Stewart. Both stars have significantly distanced themselves from the series, which was immensely successful at the box office, but not exactly admired by critics.
None of the franchise’s five installments is rated “fresh” on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, although some are considerably better than others. Arguably the best installment of the series is the third movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The film is currently streaming on HBO Max, but will be removed from the platform soon, along with its two follow-ups, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2.
Here’s How Long You Have To Watch ‘Eclipse’ on HBO Max
Eclipse was the only installment of the series to be directed by David Slade, who took over from Chris Weitz and Catherine Hardwicke. The movie grossed $760 million worldwide against a reported budget of $68 million, and received mixed reviews from critics. Everyone was in agreement that Eclipse marked an improvement over the series’ second installment, The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Eclipse now holds a 46% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Stuffed with characters and overly reliant on uninspired dialogue, Eclipse won’t win The Twilight Saga many new converts, despite an improved blend of romance and action fantasy.” You can watch the movie on HBO Max until July 1. The Odyssey will be released in theaters later in July, and Dune: Part Three will debut theatrically in December. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
