Summit Entertainment partnered with Target and Walmart and held “midnight” fan events for the 3,000 select stores. Exclusive sneak peeks at footage from Breaking Dawn – Part 2 
will be showing at some Targets nationwide. Walmart has an exclusive version of the Part 1 DVD (called ‘Bella’s Wedding Dress Edition’) while Target has a limited edition DVD (with a sweepstakes for fans to win a trip to the “real Isle Esme” resort, site of Bella’s & Edward’s honeymoon. The DVD also comes with a limited edition collectible: authentic prop flowers from the movie wedding scene encased in an acrylic keepsake. Wanne bet that next year Summit will include Bella’s baby afterbirth as a keepsake with Part 2‘s DVD? Anything for a buck.
