The young independent studio hits its stride with Oscar wins and commercial success.

Six wins at the Oscars for Kathryn Bigelow’s Iraq war drama, “The Hurt Locker,” capped off an extraordinary year at the cinema for Summit Entertainment. From the blockbuster successes of “New Moon” and “Knowing” to the critical triumph of “Hurt Locker,” the independent studio has firmly established itself as a major Hollywood presence with a bright future ahead of it.

“Summit has become a premier player in Hollywood after [the Oscars],” said Jeff Bock, box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “To do that these days, you need two things: a blockbuster franchise and a Best Picture statuette. Well, Summit has both of those now with ‘Twilight’ and ‘The Hurt Locker.’ Once you establish a healthy line of income, and are known as a haven where artistic merit actually means something, you’ve set yourself up for a long stay in the industry.”

Coming off a 2008 that brought Summit its first breakout hit with “Twilight,” the studio stumbled out of the gate in 2009. The sci-fi action flick “Push,” starring Chris Evans, produced an anemic $10.1 million opening (debuting at #6, behind “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” in its fourth weekend) and ultimately failed to earn more domestically than its $38 million production budget. Little over a month later, the Cam Gigandet-starring “Never Back Down” again served up a heaping portion of disappointment for Summit when it debuted with an $8.6 million weekend and ended up grossing only $24.9 million.

Was the studio just a one-hit franchise wonder? Could Summit launch a commercially successful film that wasn’t based on a novel by “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer? Those questions were put to rest at the end of March with Nicolas Cage’s sci-fi thriller “Knowing.” Directed by Alex Proyas (”I, Robot”), the film opened at #1 at the box office with $24.6 million, beating out Julia Robert’s “Duplicity” and Paul Rudd’s “I Love You, Man.” The following weekend, “Knowing” dropped a less-than-average 40 percent, nabbing another $14.7 million on its way to $80 million in total domestic sales (and $183.3 million worldwide).

Summit had arrived. By the end of the year, after releasing nine new films, Summit was the seventh-highest-grossing studio with $482.5 million in sales. How did that happen? It wasn’t because the studio didn’t suffer some box-office duds. Both the animated tale “Astro Boy” and “Sorority Row” tanked. Rather, the achievement can be traced to two words: “New” and “Moon.”

In November, “New Moon” busted out the biggest opening weekend of all time. Its $142.9 million debut was a huge increase over the opening of “Twilight” ($69.6 million) and pushed it toward the fourth spot in 2009’s box-office race, closely behind “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

Months earlier, “The Hurt Locker” had opened in four theaters to wide critical acclaim. The film kept adding theaters but never took off commercially; its largest weekend brought in only $1.9 million. After 18 weekends in theaters, Bigelow’s film has grossed only $14.7 million.

But as awards season picked up, “The Hurt Locker” began to stand out. It won big at the Gotham Awards in early December and went on to secure key wins with the Directors Guild of America and the Broadcast Film Critics, before nabbing nine Oscar nominations. On Sunday night, Bigelow became the first woman in history to win a Best Director Oscar. These victories and the increased exposure that comes as a result should greatly increase the movie’s commercial prospects in theaters and on DVD.

As Bock said, “Now if only [Summit] could figure out a way to make money from an Iraq war film,” adding that the weak box-office performance of “The Hurt Locker” notwithstanding, “I think a lot of auteur filmmakers will be taking meetings with Summit in the very near future.”

Combine indie credit with broad commercial prospects in the coming months, and you can see why 2010 is shaping up to be another stellar year for Summit. Did we mention that “Eclipse,” the third film in the “Twilight” franchise, arrives in June?

Kendrick is the latest ‘Twilight’ castmember to express concerns about filming the last installment in the saga in three dimensions.

Anna Kendrick isn’t sure she’d like to see the next installment of the “Twilight Saga” in 3-D. Not only does she have reservations about tackling “Breaking Dawn” in three dimensions, but she isn’t really sure she’s down with 3-D at all, for that matter.

“I’m still undecided about 3-D, personally,” the Oscar nominee told MTV News on the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday (March 7). “But obviously they don’t consult me personally on whether or not ‘Breaking Dawn’ is going to be in 3-D.”

While she joked that it’s in her contract that she be involved in those kinds of decisions, Kendrick, who also shared that she thought the “Eclipse” trailer is going to be “beautiful,” is the latest castmember to be anti 3-D for “Breaking Dawn.”

Kellan Lutz isn’t a big fan of 3-D movies, either. “3-D kind of hurts my eyes anyways. ‘Avatar’ was amazing in 3-D and in IMAX, but I don’t think I wanna see a little baby half-vampire in 3-D,” he said, echoing a similar sentiment made by Kristen Stewart. “There’s just some scenes I just wouldn’t want to see in 3-D.”

Robert Pattinson admitted he felt the same way about the possibility. “The 3-D thing confuses me,” Pattinson said. “I haven’t seen ‘Avatar’ or any of these 3-D movie things yet. The idea of it … I remember 3-D movies from when I was a kid, and I can just picture it giving me a headache.”

‘It’s the same cinematographer as last time, so at least we know it will look beautiful,’ she tells MTV News at the Oscars.

“Twilight” star Robert Pattinson has seen the “Eclipse” trailer set to premiere during his flick “Remember Me,” out in theaters Friday. And Kellan Lutz promised that the flick itself will be very “badass.” But it seems like Oscar nominee Anna Kendrick has yet to be treated to the trailer for the flick.

At the very least, she knows that it will look “beautiful,” based on the work cinematographer Javier Aguirresarobe did on “New Moon.” “I haven’t actually [seen the trailer yet],” Kendrick told MTV News on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday. “I trust that it will look very beautiful. It’s the same cinematographer as last time, so at least we know it will look beautiful.”

Last month, when MTV News caught up with Kristen Stewart at the red-carpet premiere for “The Yellow Handkerchief,” she had a few scenes she wanted to see make the final cut for the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” trailer. “Oh my gosh! There’s a really cool thing that happens on a cliff with Jacob that should definitely be in there,” she said. “Battle stuff. I would say the [newborn vampires]. The newborns are going to look awesome.”

Late last year, at the New York premiere of “New Moon,” Stewart said she was really excited for fans to get a chance to see the love triangle between Jacob, Bella and Edward intensify in this next film. “I’m looking forward to seeing the love triangle actually becoming a problem,” she said. “We sort of innocently touch on it in ‘New Moon,’ but it actually becomes something that is very, very real.”
