Can you guys believe that the movie of year will be already released next week?

 God2 Not Dead doesn't come out until April 1st

Don't you guys think that dystopian YA fatigue is setting in more than any kind of fatigue towards any one particular actor or actress?  I mean Jlaw is kind of in a class by herself and she is obviously a draw but we have been bombarded with so many cloned films about dystopian futures with kids battling blah blah blah.  I mean, I can't tell you what the hell happened in Maze Runner, Divergent, any Hunger Games sequel or any other YA film.  They're all the same in some ways.  It's a tired theme and it's just time to move on from that, imo.

 

But that's what always happens, don't? Studios suck everything they can while the trend is hot and fresh, and, then, once that the public is tired, they move to the next trend, it happened with the YA fantasy trend that started with HP, with the Vampire trend that started with Twilight, and, now, it's happening again, the thing is that only the movies that started the trend will be remembered in some years, HP/Twilight/THG, the rest will be forgotten faster than the public forgot Avengers: Age of Ultron

 

Studios just need to find a new trend, and the YA genre will be hot again

I always defended you, but I'm starting to agree with @CJohn when he says that you're always WRONG!

80M sounds amazing to me.

 

Who are you and what you did with the John from Portugal? $100m OD or they can cancel the whole DC universe

It probably won't even do 80M OD

As some others have pointed out, YA burned out quick because all the movies have a similar look, feel and theme: good looking teens live in a dystopia future and have to rebel to free society. The costumes, sets, and actors usually look interchangeable.

 

You might as well have a single franchise with Divergent/Maze Runner/Hunger Games where they all blend in together and the quality drops as the series progresses.

Wrong! CF improved from the first movie, and MJ2 improved from MJ1

Well, $250 million+ appears to be a near-lock for Zootopia, so long as it doesn't drop more than 60-65% next weekend. 

 

Allegiant bombed... not surprised. People are either making sure they see Zootopia or saving for BvS.

*sigh* it really bothers me when people put the hunger games on the same pedestal as all the other YA stuff. The Hunger Games created all of the current YA trends

Shut up! I can't wait to see Marvel being humiliated next week, I'm a HUGE Marvel fan, but I can't handle two humiliations in a row, first, A2 being destroyed by F7 last year, now, CW being killed by BVS, I'm definitely leaving the fandom once that CW ends being a disappointment

Age of Ultron was destroyed by Furious 7?

Why are you always so wrong. It's obviously the Original trilogy!

Which character is Tris a direct rip off of? Is it Harry or is it Katniss?
