Captain Craig Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Last night Rth said that Fault was outdoing Edge by a ratio of 8 to 1. If so, good God. Whose not surprised....this guy. It's huge on the middle school front and H.S. front. With ties to the Davidson Co.(Nashville) library system I am not shocked by these Preview numbers for FioS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 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. Twilight's basically forgotten among the mainstream. It was fad, it had its day. Now it's nothing.

ecstasy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Twilight's basically forgotten among the mainstream. It was fad, it had its day. Now it's nothing. Well at least it had it's day as opposed to Divergent. However, Fault is a different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Twilight might not be an action movie but it obviously has a supernatural conceit and strong fantasy elements. From what I can gather, Fault is a drama about cancer. Beside the fact that they're romances popular among young women, I don't see much comparison. The Vow or the freaking Notebook are much more accurate comparisons honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way you can say that among my generation/the kids I went to school with. I'm no fan of the series, but love it or hate it, people my age will always remember that shit. Period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing the two have in common are that they're both YA adaptations. Anyway, if Fault hits 50M this weekend that'd be really great. Either way though it's a success for Fox since it didn't cost much to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogiezen Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well at least it had it's day as opposed to Divergent. However, Fault is a different animal. And both movies Shailene Woodley is the star. JLAW who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well at least it had it's day as opposed to Divergent. However, Fault is a different animal. Honestly aside from being popular young adult novels, neither film is of the same genre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of the series, but love it or hate it, people my age will always remember that shit. Period. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Nobody I know talks about it, and the series ran its course. If people remember Twilight, they won't remember the books or the movies very fondly if you ask me, unless of course they think their comedy masterpieces.

Plain Old Tele Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 You think this will have worse legs than Divergent?I think it's quite possible. I also think there's a chance it doesn't open as big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 You think this will have worse legs than Divergent? Divergent's multiplier is 2.72. That's not bad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
