However, with roughly 7 minutes of new footage all 'Twi-Hards' will be pleased. An uncensored version does not exist on either DVD or Blu-Ray.Įven the Extended Cut does not have the uncensored footage and thus in these scenes is identical to the PG-13 Theatrical Version. Only after a few sequences were cut out, the studio finally got the rating it wished for. As a result, the first version of the movie received an R-Rating. This seemed to work out quite well, however, the MPAA still seemed to think of the (actually pretty harmless) sex scene as being too much for a PG-13 rating. This vamprie series is an immense cash cow, thanks to the huge, young (and mostly female) audience.Īnd it is that audience that gave the producers of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 some troubles: Due to the fact, that some material of the book is not necessarily PG-13-conformable, some of the scenes like Bella's and Edward's night of love as well as Renesmee's birth had to be toned down. This sum of money of course does not include gains from home cinema (DVD, Blu-Ray, and TV) and merchandising. With a worldwide box office gross of 3.3 Billion US-Dollars, the Twilight-Saga is one of the most successful movie series of modern times.
