Ezen Baklattan Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 So, here's my prediction for Mortal Instruments for the weekend: $2.9m (+61.1%) $3.1m (+6.9%) $2.2m (-29.4%) $8.2m 3-day weekend $13m 5-day weekend This might not even pass The Host.

DAR Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 With the exception of Hunger Games none of these other YA hold any appeal to me. I've seen maybe 10 minutes of a Twilight film. MI holds no appeal for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's funny because Potter Twilight and Hunger Games are the YA trifecta. It looks like nothing else is going to break out though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's funny because Potter Twilight and Hunger Games are the YA trifecta. It looks like nothing else is going to break out though. Divergent is meant to be a pretty popular one and that's got a movie out in March but idk. I couldn't tell you why some of these things break out and others don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's weird I don't think of Potter as YA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's weird I don't think of Potter as YA Because the term wasn't used at the time of HP but it is through and through, it is even the template now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Potter wasn't YA when it started, it was a straight kids' book and a kids' movie. But then they grew up and things got more intense so it became more YA-ish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 But it's appeal went far beyond a specific age demographic. Eventually you had everyone from grade school kids to middle aged men reading Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually you had everyone from grade school kids to middle aged men reading Potter. Twilight demos doesn't stop at 16. THG either. Even if it is the core. But HP is different because it was so damn long, 10 years, so a lot of people grown up withe books/movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) But it's appeal went far beyond a specific age demographic. Eventually you had everyone from grade school kids to middle aged men reading Potter. Books are classified kid lit or YA or romance or whatever based on their content, not their audience. The first couple of HP books and movies were in the kid realm compared to the later installments. Great for Scholastic/Bloomsbury that older people liked them too but that doesn't make Sorcerer's Stone less of a kids book. Friday for Mortal Instruments, over or under $3 million?

CJohn Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) It's funny because Potter Twilight and Hunger Games are the YA trifecta. It looks like nothing else is going to break out though. Because they actually looked appealing and were good (or different than usual). I have seen all Potter and all Twilight in theaters, and I will surely see all Hunger Games. I didn't see The Host, won't see Mortal Instruments. And I just saw Beautiful Creatures because there was nothing opening in that time that interested me more (plus, it actually looked a bit better than the other 2). I am definitly going to see Divergent next Spring. Potter, Hunger Games and Twilight all had something the others don't... I am not sure what...
