Catherine Hardwicke

Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke recalled receiving a “mini cupcake” from the studio after the vampire romance film’s massive success, which paved the way for multiple hit sequels at the box office.

Catherine recently told The Guardian that she entered the offices of Summit Entertainment – the film’s distributor – and walked into a room “with all these gifts” where “everybody was congratulating the studio” before she received a box, which she opened up to reveal the small treat.

The filmmaker – whose 2008 film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel grossed $408.5 million worldwide on a $37 million budget – claimed her male counterparts elsewhere would receive cars, three-picture deals or get to do “basically whatever” they want after achieving such a box office........
