I am totally out of touch ... heh. Kind of a fun feeling. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 10:05 1
- I am rooting for Max and I don't like it -- nm - Aloha, Bacon Feb 23, 10:06

I expect it might touch 75M open -- nm - Capstern Feb 23, 10:01 2
- think bigger. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:01 1
  - Thats possible but its odd I am not hearing a lot of talk about it here in TX in the demo I figured it would target - but cool if it does good books -- nm - Capstern Feb 23, 10:06
It will make negative dollars -- nm - Max si Feb 23, 10:01
Society allows boys to like Hunger Games. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 09:59
Twilight "only" opened to $69.6 million. Hunger Games wrecks that. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:58 5
- (by a lot) -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 23, 09:58 4
  - By a lot a lot - Stephen Feb 23, 09:59 3
    - Hence the term "wrecks". -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:00 2
      - Yes, he said wrecks. She said (wrecks) by a lot. And I said (wrecks) by a lot a lot. - Stephen Feb 23, 10:02 1
        
        Wrecks by a lot a lot is defined as triple the number. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:03
it won't fail from lack of marketing, for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 09:56 8
- I haven't seen any marketing. my tivo misses me. (I watched murder one all weekend. I'm a whore for old TV.) -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 09:58 7
  - walk into a Hot Topic sometime soon..... - groiny Feb 23, 09:59 6
    - You mean walk *past* one. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:00 5
      - where do you get your clothes, the toilet store? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:01 4
        
        As I am not a teenager, *not* Hot Topic. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:06 2
        
        you know they have more than that kind of stuff there? - groiny Feb 23, 10:07 1
        
        That is why I own part of a comicbook store, silly. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:10
        
        ..don't knock the plunger cap. -- nm - Spawn si Feb 23, 10:04
It surpasses Twilight. Twilight was for girls only (and crash). This is for boys and girls. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:55 11
- This is correct. It's a more commercial premise all around. -- nm - David Feb 23, 10:02 7
  - but have as many people read the books? or are you saying here that it's less necessary to have read the books? -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 10:03 6
    - The books were bestsellers for the body of the past two years. - David Feb 23, 10:08
    - it's making the rounds within our Church group of friends. Certainly a high degree of anticipation from them -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 10:06
    - I personally, know more people who read HG than Twilight. - groiny Feb 23, 10:04 3
      - yeah this is so weird to me. I am so opposite this. -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 10:05 1
        
        Do you know males that read the Twilight books? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:07
      - Guys, for sure. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:05
- I don't think you're right because multiple viewings were huge for twilight. I think there's less boy crazyness in hunger games. -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 09:57 2
  - Second weekend drop for Twilight - 62%. New Moon - 70%. Eclipse - 51%*. Breaking Dawn - 70%. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 23, 10:08
  - Powerful female figure in Hunger Games that Twilight lacked. This will get all kinds of business. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:59
