Twilight's Thanksgiving debut was so profitable for the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel that Summit Entertainment has scheduled the release of its sequel, New Moon, for November 20, 2009. According to Variety, "The film franchise most associated with Thanksgiving is Warner Bros.' Harry Potter. But there are only three films left in that series--and only one bowing over Thanksgiving, in 2010. Summit caught a lucky break when Warners decided to push back the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from Thanksgiving 2008 to summer 2009."
