Don't like that Effie character. Feels really forced.

 

I thought that in the first movie. But I thought she found her footing in CF.

Jeffrey Wright

Thanks!

I didn't even know Mojo had forums. Been a regular visitor to Mojo since 2000, only found this forum by googling "Avengers box office prediction". Lurked for a month or so, then finally signed up.

Went down in late 2011 and moved to a few boards before settling here.

It's a shame these types of movies are so afraid of pissing off the fanbases and diverging from the book in anyway. Some of the best adaptations are ones that just say fuck it to large chunks and make up their own shit.

 

I'd like this a thousand times if I could.

In CF's case, as an almost perfect adaption, it worked pretty damn well.

Effie didn't seem forced at all. In fact, I love what the movie did with her. In the books (I know some of us had debates about this), for me, I never geniunely felt that Effie cared for Katniss or Peeta. She only cared what they brought for her, but never them personally. Whereas in the movie, I felt that. I felt that Effie cared for them as people, and not just trophies.

I was part of the group of the many people who got interested in the box office after Spider Man 1 Legendary opening.

 

See a film do over 100 million in 3 days back then was just mind boggling number. 

 

Then it was with the run of LOTR3 that got me on the forums.

I think we saw the issues with pandering to the already converted in "Beautiful Creatures", "The Host" and "Mortal Instruments" already.

Oh yes. And I thought Jeffrey Wright was outstanding. Still not sure what all went on in that last scene

with the tree and the wire

perhaps somebody can explain it to me later.

I'm fine with changes, they just have to be good.

It really did. I mean, literally the first 10 minutes were word for word from the book. A lot of lines overall were from the book. I'd say this was faithful 90% of the book. And the changes they made were perfect. The minor characters they took out were the RIGHT decision. The added scenes really elevated the film.

Were many people predicting over 400 mil for that film?

It just really stinks that MJ1 we're gonna get a full dose of Gale............ew.

[CoolioD1]

Iron Man 1 was the movie that got me really interested in box office. Dat pre-Avengers effect

[MrPink]

Urgh.....I love the Sunday Night Football theme so much, it's embarrassing. Who knew making a horrible reskinned version of Joan Jett would be so endearing?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Spiderman 3 made me interested in box office.
