The summer movie season is Hollywood’s biggest and most lucrative movie season. Its where studios release their biggest blockbusters and records are set for the biggest movie opening and gross. With the Iron Man 2 kicking of the biggest summer season predicted so far, how will other block busters fare?

The third installment of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, is set to be released this June 30. Its already being predicted as one of the biggest summer movies and a certified box-office hit. But with the bar being raised last year by New Moon, just how much Eclipse is predicted to bring in this summer?

ComingSoon.net has made projections on who will rule the summer movie season. Whilst Iron Man 2 is expected to be on top, they predicted Eclipse to be in the Top 3 – placing it at #3.

The third big sequel of the summer is The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Summit – June 30) following up New Moon, the second installment in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance novels, which grossed $700 million, nearly $300 million of that in North America, last fall. Reactions to the sequel were mixed at best, but the third movie has a new director in David Slade (30 Days of Night) and new additions to the cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, and there’s very little to keep the fans from seeing the third movie. Of biggest significance is that this is the first installment opening during the summer movie season and the first to open on IMAX screens simultaneously, but this one’s also opening on the Wednesday before the 4th of July, which will lower its weekend take. Still, we can easily see the movie make nearly $100 million before Friday, putting it well on its way to be the first installment to cross the $300 million mark by summer’s end.

Coming Soon.net has predicted Eclipse to make around $312 million in North American receipts – the first Twilight movie that might do so.

3. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Summit – June 30)
