Divergent and its predecessors are pretty much like the Marvel movies, but for a different audience.

General and critical reception, plus audience demographics, doesn't really hold up in that comparison. The Marvel movies are the male equivalent of Harry Potter or the Hunger Games, in that they skew towards one gender, but not tremendously so, and are generally well reviewed by critics.

If you say so.

It's all branded kid stuff of similar quality to my eye.

Such a tired argument.

Basically.

Might as well say the same thing about Star Wars. Or any action adventure series really. Most of them aren't exactly high brow.

I don't recall saying they were high-brow.

Interesting attempt.

I wonder if reviews were better for Divergent if it could have made its initial $70 mil projections.

 

[overcast]

Feels like nobody gives a shit about The Muppets this year. It doesn't look great though. So it's understandable.

Possibly. I'm sure that helped with the Hunger Games.

It's a testament to the interest a movie like Divergent causes around here, that the estimates for this week have been up for a while and there are no replies or new thread yet. lol
