Summit confirmed Friday night, that it has set a release date for ‘Eclipse’. This is what Box Office Mojo had to say about why Summit chose June, instead of November to premiere Eclipse:
The pre-Thanksgiving weekend of 2010 was already staked out by a much larger franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part One), which effectively meant that Summit would have to wait until 2011 or two years after New Moon if they wanted to maintain the pre-Thanksgiving timing. The first Twilight grabbed the pre-Thanksgiving spot, moving from December, shortly after Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince jumped to July. As it stands, Eclipse will unfold only around seven months after New Moon. Currently, no other major releases are scheduled for June 30, 2010.

Entertainment Weekly then broke the news, that New Moon director Chris Weitz will not be sticking around for Eclipse. You can read about that here.
