Robert Pattinson is having a banner year. After starring alongside Zendaya in the critically acclaimed cringe comedy The Drama—which grossed over $130 million worldwide on a $28 million budget—he's set to reunite with her in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three. But before you catch him in those epic fantasy-adjacent threequels, there's another Pattinson trilogy entry you should revisit: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which is leaving HBO Max on July 1, 2026.
Released in 2010, Eclipse is widely considered the best installment of the Twilight franchise. Directed by David Slade—the only director to helm a single Twilight film—it improved on the series' sophomore slump, New Moon, and earned a 46% score on Rotten Tomatoes. While that's still not "fresh," it's the highest rating among all five Twilight movies, and the consensus praised its "improved blend of romance and action fantasy." The film grossed a staggering $760 million worldwide against a $68 million budget, proving that even mixed reviews couldn't stop Team Edward, Team Jacob, and Team Bella from showing up.
Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have since distanced themselves from the franchise that made them household names, but Eclipse remains a guilty pleasure for many. It's also a fascinating time capsule of late-2000s pop culture, complete with werewolf shirtlessness, vampire glitter, and a love triangle that defined a generation. If you're in the mood for a nostalgic rewatch—or if you're curious about the fantasy sequel that paved the way for Pattinson's current renaissance—now's the time to stream it.
Alongside Eclipse, HBO Max will also remove The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and Breaking Dawn – Part 2 on the same date. So if you want to binge the entire saga, you have until July 1 to do so. After that, you'll have to wait for the next streaming cycle or buy/rent the digital versions.
For fans of inventive fantasy worlds, Eclipse offers a unique take on vampire and werewolf lore—though it's far from the most creative magic system out there. If you're looking for more imaginative fantasy, check out our list of Low Fantasy TV Shows with the Most Inventive Magic Systems.
Pattinson's upcoming projects are generating serious buzz. The Odyssey hits theaters in July 2026, and Dune: Part Three arrives in December. Meanwhile, HBO Max subscribers have a few more weeks to enjoy Eclipse before it disappears. Don't say we didn't warn you.
If you're planning your July streaming schedule, you might also want to check out Last Call: 7 Must-See Movies Leaving Netflix in July 2026 for other expiring titles. And for those who prefer their fantasy with a side of horror, Ready or Not 2 Hits Hulu July 2 is another option.
So grab your popcorn, cue up "Eclipse (All Yours)" by The Weeknd, and enjoy one last stream of Robert Pattinson's best Twilight film. It's leaving HBO Max on July 1, 2026—don't let it slip away.
