Watch Eclipse at IMAX

Cinematical Twitter just posted some cool news about the premiere of the third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. It will have a midnight release on June 30, 2010 not just in regular theaters, but also at IMAX Theaters. This news has been confirmed by the Official Twilight movie Twitter. The premiere night is on a Wednesday, so die-hard Twilight fans will be lined up outside of movie theaters everywhere on a Tuesday night instead of a Thursday night like before.

Here is the official press release:

“Twilight moviegoers will have a whole new way to experience this next installment of the series, with the enhanced image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience putting them IN the movie,” said Richie Fay, Summit Entertainment’s President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution. “The IMAX release puts us on the event film calendar for 2010, and we’re very excited to work with IMAX to bring a new kind of film to the IMAX theatre network.”

“Our 2010 film slate continues to fill out with strong titles, and a film from this incredible franchise is a very welcome addition,” said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. “This title fills a valuable spot in our 2010 summer release window, and will no doubt thrill IMAX audiences.”

“We’re very excited to work with our new partners at Summit Entertainment to transport the very loyal and enthusiastic Twilight fans into the world of the Volturi via The IMAX Experience,” added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “With our growing theatre network, we’re poised to take advantage of the rapidly growing fan-base devoted to this dynamic, cutting edge series.”
