FX Acquires TV Rights To “The Twilight Saga”

FX is taking a bite out of The Twilight Saga. The network has acquired the ad-supported TV rights to the four movies in the Twilight film franchise as part of a package deal with producer Summit Entertainment.  Under the pact, FX will start running last year’s Twilight, the first movie in the franchise, beginning in late 2011. The Twilight Saga: New Moon which opened at $142.8 million domestically last weekend, will be available in late 2012. Eclipse, which is slated for a June 30 release, will have its premiere on FX in early 2013. As part of the package deal with Summit, FX also gets the rights to air The Hurt Locker, Push, and Knowing. ‘
