Many of you may be wondering, when will Twilight start showing on cable television? Well, here is your answer!FX channel has struck a deal with Summit, which says the channel will have the cable rights to New Moon, Eclipse, and likely Breaking Dawn. Showtime already has the cable rights to Twilight (until 2011). From the article:
Deal between FX and Summit is standard in that pricetag will be 10%-12% of the domestic box office take, but with a cap.
Summit’s deal with FX also includes rights to well-reviewed Iraq war pic “The Hurt Locker,” as well as “Knowing” and “Push.”
“Twilight,” the first book of the series from Stephenie Meyer that was adapted into a film, earned $191 million when it was released a year ago. FX can begin airing the pic in late 2011.
The window for “New Moon” starts in late 2012, and “Eclipse,” which is scheduled for a June 30, 2010, theatrical release, will have its basic cable debut in 2013.
