The rise of Robert Pattinson

Five years ago Robert Pattinson was an unknown British teenager - now he is the multimillionaire star of the hugely successful Twilight film saga. Here we chart the rise and rise of Pattinson, 24, from model, to vampire and beyond.

Pattinson, who is from Barnes in west London, started his career as a model aged 12 but struggled to find work by the time he was 16. He has described himself as having "the most unsuccessful modelling career".

In May 2005 Pattinson was set to appear in the UK premiere of The Woman Before at the Royal Court Theatre but was fired shortly before opening night and was replaced by Tom Riley.

However, also in 2005 came Pattinson's big break when he was cast as Cedric Diggory - a Hogwarts prefect - in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

The first installment of Stephenie Meyer's Twilightseries was released in November 2008 in America. It launched Pattinson as a Hollywood heart throb. He was named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine in 2008 and 2009.

The following year, sequel New Moon was released, while the latest installment Eclipse will reach UK cinemas on July 9.

Also released this year is Remember Me, a romantic drama starring Pattinson which he also produced.

Such is his new-found fame that a wax work of the actor has even been added to Madame Tussuad's displays in London and New York.

Next year he will star alongside Uma Thurman in Bel Ami and Water For Elephants opposite Reese Witherspoon as well as fulfilling his commitments to the Twilight Saga which will be Breaking Dawn part I.

Pattinson has written several songs two of which have appeared on the Twilightsoundtrack. He has said: "Music is my back-up plan if acting fails."

'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' predicted to beat 'New Moon' opening weekend numbers

All along - during the downtime between The Twilight Saga: New Moon's release and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's - fans have been asking this question: will The Twilight Saga: Eclipse surpass the incredible numbers set forth by The Twilight Saga: New Moon?

No doubt, the biggest achievement of New Moon in the box office was to set the record for biggest opening day ever. So, the topic has definitely lingered as to whether the summer Eclipse showing will top that record.

Also, the staggering opening weekendnumbers (3rd highest ever) for New Moonreached $140.7 million in the first three days. So, whether Eclipse will eclipse New Moon's opening weekend figures is prominent as well.

According to TheWrap.com, industry predictions give the nod to Eclipse in at least the second portion of the inquiry.

Conservative forecasts predict the PG-13-rated film will gross $150 million domestically in its first six days of release, spanning through the holiday weekend. That would usurp the $142.8 million three-day opening for “New Moon” last November. “Eclipse,” which returns the core cast of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will also debut in 41 foreign territories this weekend. “We hope our opening day will be bigger on opening day because our audience isn’t getting up for school,” noted Summit distribution chief Richie Fay.

Only a few days until we know. For now, what fans seem to be doing to effectuate their desire to seeEclipse break records is pre-ordering midnight release tickets (which has put Eclipse atop advance ticket sales lists) and planning to see the film more than once during opening weekend.

Are you doing the same? Do you care how Eclipse fares in the box office, and why or why not? Does it speak to the validity of the fandom in any way that Eclipse stands to usurp its own stellar figures? Any other thoughts?
