Before fans were made to decide between Team Cap or Team Iron Man, fans were pushed to make an even more controversial decision – Team Edward or Team Jacob. The love triangle between Edward, Bella, and Jacob divided many fans between 2008 and 2012, when Twilight movies were all the rage. And it seems that fans are still unable to make up their minds as the franchise is topping the Hulu viewership charts, with all five movies charting among the top 15 most streamed movies on the platform this week, according to Flix Patrol.
The movies arrived on the platform in December 2024, and it seems as though fans are having a nostalgic trip with the franchise. At the time of writing, the original movie Twilight is at #4, followed by The Twilight Saga: New Moon at #5, at #6 is The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 sits at #9, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is at #11.
Twilight movies have both kinds of audiences, one that defends them tooth and nail, and the one that always questions the quality of the movies, but loves them for their campy nature anyway. However, none can argue the movies were a hit with the audience and at the box office. The first movie started pretty small, as 2008’s Twilight was essentially a small-budget movie that went on to rake in over $400 million worldwide. After its success, the forthcoming movies performed even better, with the final two installments becoming the highest-grossing entries in the franchise. Overall, the franchise brought in over $3.3 billion, making its success indisputable.
What Is The Twilight Saga About?
Based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer, the first film stars Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan, a teenage girl, and Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, a vampire. As the two fall in love, the gap between their worlds widens as Bella becomes a target for another coven. After the events of the first movie, New Moon sees Edward breaking up with Bella, and she copes with it with the help of her werewolf friend Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Things take a turn when Edward thinks Bella is dead and wants to sacrifice himself too, but ends up reuniting with her. The third movie, Eclipse, finds Bella haunted by the revengeful vampire Victoria, who creates an army of newborn vampires to take revenge on the Cullens. The final two movies in the franchise see Bella and Edward getting married and having a daughter, which brings a challenge of its own.
Along with Stewart, Pattinson, and Lautner, the movie also cast Peter Facinelli as Carlisle, Elizabeth Reaser as Esme, Ashley Greene as Alice, Kellan Lutz as Emmett, Nikki Reed as Rosalie Hale, Jackson Rathbone as Jasper Hale – all as Edward’s vampire family. Further rounding off the cast are Billy Burke as Bella’s father Charlie Swan, Sarah Clarke as Bella’s mother Renée Dwyer, Edi Gathegi as Laurent Da Revin, Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black along with Christian Serratos, Michael Welch, Anna Kendrick, Justin Chon and many more.
The Twilight Saga is available on Hulu.
