  • Maddie:

    Aww. Well, We get the movie one day after the phillippines. It’s not so bad… But we should still get it a few weeks earlier.. *Cough* Like now… Just kidding.

  • Mya:

    I hate to live in Portugal because we get everything so late!
    Why January 1st? I’m 100% sure that Spain will have the movie so much earlier than Portugal… as usual :/
    I will certainly go to Spain just to see the movie earlier

  • Cull3N_v@mPz:

    poor Portugal people

  • The♥Other♥Cullen:

    Twilight Lexicon has a thing saying the release sates for all the countries.

  • Nat:

    OMG! That is SO unfair! How come the UK are getting it so late when we’re STILL being deprived of Potter in November?! I feel cheated! I think we should start up a petition to get the November 21st release date everywhere, otherwise we have to wait like a whole two months before we can see it and thats cruel!

  • Juliana:

    FYI – the release date n Brazil is also December 25th!
    (I don’t know how I’ll be able to wait that long!)

  • xxjasperxx:

    if someone went to the Philippines to see the movie a day earlier, would the language be different?

  • kate:

    darn, phillipines get it before us! yeah i think whatever language they speak is what the movie would be in. i feel so bad for the venezuelians (if thats how you say it!) !!! that would suck!

  • xxjasperxx:

    damn………they get it in MARCH!!!!!! what are you complaining about, nat?

  • Kris:

    *gasp* Why does the UK have it in JANUARY? Damnit!

  • xxjasperxx:

    thats better than march 20th

  • nic:

    my case is worse than portugal, i live in Peru! i cannot wait anymore does anyone knows other dates for south american countries? i will apreciate it.

  • Nadine!:

    YAY\:D/. Philippines! November Twenty! I`m so Happy. THANKS!

  • tasha:

    hey i would love it if you could all sign this petition as ua UK fans are trying to get our release date pushed forward, sooooo if u have a minute plz help us reach our goal of 5000 signatures

    http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/487297385

  • gladdys:

    R U FREAKING SERIOUS? NOV. 20 IN THE PHILIPPINES..THAT IS JUST UNFAIR..THEY GET IT A DAY EARLIER?. EVEN WITH INTERNATIONAL DATELINE CHANGE….THEY WILL GET TO SEE THE MOVIE FIRST!!!

    CHANGE THE DATE BACK!!

  • xxjasperxx:

    tons of people are saying the same thing about us, that the US is getting it monthes earlier. they should just make the movie come out on the same day worldwide

  • Donna:

    PHILIPPINES IS UNFAIR!!!
    CHANGE THE DATE BACK!!!!
    IM SURE I’M NOT THE ONLY TWILIGHTER WHO’S MAD RIGHT NOW!!!

  • xxjasperxx:

    not really. 1 day doesnt make much diffrence. well, im in the US so its 1 day for me.
    and i signed that UK petition.

  • xxjasperxx:

    by not really i meant that its not really unfair.

  • jess:

    poor venezuela.

  • Georgia:

    9th January?? That’s just ridiculous. I’m thinking of starting an online petition. Why is the UK so far behind, it’s not fair. It’s not like it’s a couple of weeks behind, it’s almost 2 months behind =(

  • Patricia:

    Eh.
    Well the Philippines is ahead.
    So that’s why they get it before us.
    I mean why are you guys upset?
    We still get to see the movie all in all.
    And the Philippines is not being unfair.
    If you went to the Philippines it would be in English.
    The second language of the Philippines is English.
    It’s just the time zone diff.
    So let’s just be happy there’s a Twilight movie.
    ^-^

  • Donna:

    the official release date is nov. 21 not nov.20 and if ur in the US or Canada that is a 2 day ahead!!!! now explain to me that that isn’t unfair?

  • leeza:

    omigod! nov 20 woot!!! jeez stop hating.. its not our fault that we’re awesome!! i think it happened with spiderman or hp before..

  • Donna:

    I’m not hating!!! I’m just saying that’s unfair for us!! it would be better if we could all get to watch the same movie together..NOT AHEAD!!!

    I even signed the petition for philippines, because I care for my fellow twilighters. But now its ruined!!

  • Donna:

    and also because there’s not that much twilighters in the philippines..there’s probably only about less than 5 thousand,,,that isn’t a big number when you compare it to north america!!

    they have crappy cinemas in philippines anyways…and we got to see it here in north america in high resolution and IMAX(considering its really expensive in philippines)

  • Sarah finished trials!!! yew!!:

    NO ITS DEC 11TH FOR AUSTRALIA
    THEY ALWAYS SHOW NEW MOVIES ON THURSDAY HERE NOT FRIDAYS SO THERE!!

  • Maddy:

    Australia is actually december 11th because our movies always come out on a thursday.

  • Karol:

    The Philippines is 16 hours ahead of the US, in Pacific time, so they are getting it ALMOST TWO DAYS ahead of us. *grumbles*
    The Twilight movie will be in English when they play it in the Philippines.

  • Fatty:

    Omg, Philippines! So lucky! Anybody know when’s the release date in Malaysia?

  • In Poland its january 16 :) its not so bad :]

  • Lily:

  • Aisling:

    NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What about Ireland????????!!!
    Tell me it’s the same as UK

    but that F%*kING sucks £^%*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the Cullenist:

    whooo I’m soo happy!! now i don’t have to wait an entire month… i wonder why they changed the date? but i
    am still really excited

  • alyanna:

    dammit!
    i’m filipino but i live here in US!!!
    hahah!!

  • alyanna:

    and people all the people in the philippines can speak and understand english..

  • alyanna:

    its no expensive in the philippines.. last time i went there IMAX was only three hundred pesos..its six bucks here in america..

  • alyanna:

    its not expensive in the philippines.. last time i went there IMAX was only three hundred pesos..its six bucks here in america..

  • Niamh:

    Does anyone know if Ireland is included in the UK? Sometimes people put them together….

  • Airese:

    Hey Don’t insult us just because we get to see the movie earlier! It’s not our fault! and btw IMAX is really cheap here in the Philippines stop being so ignorant!

  • xxjasperxx:

    ignorant? me? about what exactly? i’m all ears.

  • Airese:

    Just bec. our country is not as rich as yours doesn’t mean we can’t afford to watch a movie in IMAX…why are you attacking a whole country for just one movie? aren’t we all fans here?

  • Laura:

    I feel sorry for myself. I live in Finland and COME ON! We’re getting the movie four months later than you guys! *cries* I really, really hope the date will be changed (to earlier of course XD). You Philippenes people are SO lucky! I wish I could see the movie on IMAX but there’s only one theater that shows it here and it only shows documentaries. -.-

  • xxjasperxx:

    airese, we aren’t attacking you. we’re mainly saying that it’s not fair that you get the movie earlier. i personally haven’t said anything against you guys. anyway, MOST of us don’t really mean what we’re saying. sure we say it, but it’s not like we’re going to do anything.

  • Airese:

    I just hope you would be more sensitive with your comments, I know you’re pissed but don’t take it out on us. I’m sorry for what I said too I didn’t mean ignorant part either.
    peace?

  • amy luvs jasper:

    its soooooo unfair January 9th :O

    i cnt wait that long i need 2 move 2 america

  • Cullenist:

    Hello! Why do we have to wait for february 13th…they are only supposed to put text under the pictures…can’t be that hard!…sometimes I hate living in a country with only 4,7 million prople…As a norwegian twilighter..this sucks!

  • xxjasperxx:

    airese, i’m not mad. if you scroll up i said that since i’m the US 1 day doesnt make much diffrence to me.
    truce???????????:)

  • Rachael:

    :( What is up with the UK release date?!?!?!?!!

    We get it well late! Eurgh that is so rubbish. :(

  • Shayane:

    I bet god is laughing me right now. I swear the UK date was Jan 1st? WTF?!!?!

  • HaydenLynn:

    OMG! Nov 21 wow now its coming sooner than I expected. My cousin is so mad right now she has to wait till Jan 9…and she’s yelling at me :S

  • xxjasperxx:

    nice cousin. she’s in the UK?

  • Emma:

    i’m moving 2 the phillipines……….

  • Donna:

    DON’T EVEN CALL US IGNORANT!!! BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO PUT THE DATE TO NOV. 20 FOR THE MOVIE ARE OBVIOUSLY THE IGNORANT ONES BECAUSE THE OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE IS NOV. 21 NOT NOV. 20…YOU GUYS SHOULD KNOW HOW TO PLAY FAIR!!! AND NOT EVERYBODY IN PHILIPPINES CAN EVEN AFFORD TO PAY 300 PESOS FOR A MOVIE….

  • gabe:

    why are there so many people upset with the release date being earlier in the Philippines? I mean, it doesn’t make any sense at all. Let’s be kind to one another… we’re all Twilighters here. :)

  • sabrina:

    that is absolutly ridiculous. it is released in EUROPE where the film must be subtitled from its origional language before its even shown in ENGLAND???? what is that!!?! its really not fair

  • Airese:

    duh. I wasn’t referring to the release date donna and I didn’t call you ignorant either. ok?

  • Laura:

    I feel your pain, Cullenist ;(

  • Fanny:

    AND FRANCE ?
    WHAT ABOUT FRANCE ?
    T_____T
    *cry*

  • Fanny:

    c’est pas juste ouiiiiiiiiiiiiin

  • Donna:

    to airese!!!

    well duh!!!you obviously didn’t understand what I was saying….I said you guys are being ignorant because of the release date!!!and it was clear that you called me all ignorant!!

    clearly you said these and you were referring to me because I posted that comment saying IMAX is expensive in philippines!!!

    “IMAX is really cheap here in the Philippines stop being so ignorant!”

    you don’t even understand what you are saying!!!

  • Airese:

    whatev. IMAX is not expensive in the Phil. so you are wrong. ok. why are you so pissed? seriously?

  • Donna:

    HAHA….your considering 300 pesos cheap?…that is expensive for some Filipinos!!!
    and I’m not pissed….I’m just saying my opinion!!! besides I know I’m gonna enjoy the movie better than Filipinos because like I said..they have crappy cinemas in Philippines!!! it’s crowded sometimes and some people have to sit on the stairs!!! and it smells like garbage since they don’t always clean the theaters once a movie is finished!!

  • Airese:

    woah. you haven’t been in the phil. for a long while now have you? oh my god…cinemas here are not like that anymore honey they wont let people in if there aren’t seats available! and they collect the garbage now everytime the movie ends. (thankfully) You are just proving that what I said about you is right.

  • Donna:

    oh really?..come on…I went to Phils last month..and they only care about money so they let other people in even though its completely full and filipinos just throw their garbages everywhere…and sometime the theaters really stink because they sometimes bring smelly foods!!

  • Nisaa:

    oh great that just sucks! UK has to have it on 9th of JANUARY?!?!?
    dude thats just unfair >_<

  • deana ♥:

    wait!!! what about france!!!!!

  • actually, in the Philippines, it won’t be in a different language, believe me, when i went there, i watched a movie, it was english

  • galit sa isang bastos na poser:

    well, Philippines release new movies on Wednesdays unlike in the US (they release movies on Fridays).. so that explain why Twilight will be shown on Nov. 20..

    ~~
    someone said that there aren’t many twilight fans in the Philippines.. ahh.. are you a Filipino to say that? can you show some statistics or survey? you see, as far as I’m concerned the Twilight saga is ALWAYS sold out in Filipino bookstores.. millions are reading the series here, honey…

  • Venezolanita:

    This is so unfair for venezuelan people (ME), in some web pages they said the movie is gonna release here in Feb 13 2009, wich is really bad, ’cause i love twilight as much as the USA fans do =( I dream with this movie..

  • 0909:

    FYI, all foreign films are being shown here in the Philippines in the very same language. No changes are being made. English has been our secondary language, ALMOST like it is our primary language… It’s widely spoken here.

  • SHIT!!! Phills on the 20th?!?!!! Man, I wanna get a flight there by 19th! Malaysia and Phills are not that far and I CAN’T WAIT TILL MARCH 09 for god’s sake..

  • Bella:

    Does Croatia get one? I mean, Nancy Drew the summer it came out wasn’t aired, but harry Potter WAS I saw it-once and the sound was off and everyone booed (which is about all I understood from them) so they SHOULD have Twilight… around the same time as everyone else (they did for HP)

  • iori:

    release date in Philippines is on nov. 20! i’m so excited!

  • maramore:

    weeeeeeeeeeeeee!! november 20!! can’t wait!!!
