people who made this fifth anniversary possible - the fans," said Nancy

is their enthusiasm for Bella and Edward's love story which fueled the
saga over the years, and we look forward to bringing the Twilight family
together to celebrate once more."
"We are thrilled to turn Planet Hollywood Times Square into Planet
Twilight Forever and to work with our friends at Lionsgate and Summit on
The Twilight Forever Fan Experience," said Robert Earl, Planet
Hollywood International, Inc. founder and Chairman. "We look forward to
welcoming fans of the Twilight franchise from around the world to Planet
Hollywood so they can have an up-close look at this fantastic
collection of memorabilia from their most cherished movies."
As previously announced The Twilight Forever Fan Experience begins
Sunday, November 3rd with a marathon screening of all five films in
Summit's Twilight Saga franchise, along with fan contests and chances to
win exclusive prizes and Twilight memorabilia throughout the day. Doors
open to guests starting at 9:00 a.m. at New York's Regal E-Walk Stadium
13 Cineplex (247 W. 42nd St., New York, NY 10036).
The Twilight Forever Fan Experience continues on Monday, November 4th
when guests get a chance to rub elbows with actors Peter Facinelli,
