please god no - not until Wool is made - Pippy Nov 9, 07:56 2
- Indeed. Loved that. And for some reason, I don't think of it as dystopian YA even though that's basically what it is. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 08:12 1
  - the characters are older but its very chaste -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:17
lets see how the 5th Wave does next year. (it's a better book than Maze Runner) -- nm - decline Nov 9, 07:54
Doubtful. Not until something that speaks more clearly to the state of the world comes along. - Beryllium Nov 9, 07:52 1
- This is an interesting thought. Dystopia definitely was the thing in the early 10s. The world has clearly moved on now, and I'm curious to see what - MDH Nov 9, 07:58
If they go through with the third book, I'd expect it to halve that. - spamlet Nov 9, 07:51
Hunger Games is on pace for a $125 million o.w. -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 07:50 13
- Hunger Games is the only of the genre that was a success, I expect it to be a hit. Divergent/Maz Runner/Mortal Instruments all were misses. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 07:57 12
  - loved the books, liekd the first 2 movies, haven't watched the 3rd one yet as splitting into 2 killed my desire to see it -- nm - Beaker Nov 9, 08:03 1
    - I had this thought too but it was very good - check it out. -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:04
  - But even Hunger Games grosses are in decline. Last one made $75/$85M less than #1/2. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 07:59 9
    - Bridge films have a tendency to do that, at least historically. If you look at Deathly Hallows... - David Nov 9, 08:02 8
      - Plus, the 3rd book sucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:02 7
        
        it really did. -- nm - decline Nov 9, 08:15
        
        well the 1st half of Mockingjay sucked - Pippy Nov 9, 08:10 2
        
        I haven't seen Part 3.1 yet. If they can solve the ending of the Book 3...it'll be okay. The first half of the book was okay... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:31 1
        
        I'm telling you, its a much better movie than the book was. I was shocked actually. -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:34
        
        Hell yes. -- nm - David Nov 9, 08:08
        
        I blame this more than anything. So bad. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 08:03 1
        
        Bit now more people go to see JLaw be Katniss than go because they read the books. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 08:07
