MattW Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Different era, man. Plus, despite the popularity, those were genre action/adventures and this is a tearjerker drama. The genre not so much, but I think the audience is somewhat comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still... if Divergent made 4.9M, this should've easily doubled that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Book is just as popular as those two among the high school demographic Well, maybe not Hunger Games, but it's definitely as big as Twilight Twilight has a lot of older women fans. I know women from 30-50 who went to midnight showings. They all work at my job and went in big groups of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) I was just on TV - KTLA5. They asked me what I thought of the special Olympic movement. Really wanted to answer "Isn't that the question of the day" Edited June 6, 2014 by grim22 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The genre not so much, but I think the audience is somewhat comparable. I think the audience for this is really, really young. Twilight has women of all age ranges. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmasterclay Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Call me crazy, but just like with Divergent, this doesn't feel like something with 1/16th the pop culture relevance or mainstream attention that Twilight or Hunger Games had. Maybe it's just cuz I'm older now, but Twilight and Hunger Games characters and terminology and shit became ingrained in pop culture. I don't even know the lead character in this or Divergent's names. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the pics of the lines of people for the movie? I posted them in the fault thread. Most of these were really young girls. There were some older ones but the majority were 12-15 year olds.

MattW Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think the audience for this is really, really young. Twilight has women of all age ranges. By the last movie definitely. But I think twilight in 2008 was pretty young. Older than TFIOS, but I doubt by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
