BOX OFFICE: THE HUNGER GAMES Passes GOTG's Domestic Haul

 

-------------------

Katniss Everdeen's brilliant, but rather grim third big screen outing was predicted to beat the intergalactic A-holes' $331.1 million take by a comfortable $9M or so, but it actually only narrowly came out on top with a $333.2 million domestic haul. Mockingjay - Part 1 is also the lowest grossing Hunger Games so far, as Catching Fire came out with $425 million domestically a couple of years ago, and the original movie brought in $408 million in 2012.

-------------------

Part 1's are commonly placeholders to the second part movies which bring in more generally. If this one made under $200 mill, I would be worried.

 

If Jennifer Lawrence did a movie sitting on a stool reading a phonebook, it would probably do $20 million worldwide.

 

But, it has to be a New Hampshire phonebook, so when she gets to my name, I can say she knows my number (if she has read my address imfo on the restraining order yet).

American Sniper is going to blow by both of these for the 2014 box office crown

James Gunn Talks Possible Plot Details on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 2’

 

--------------------

“It’s not really based on anything. The story for Guardians 2 is an original story that I came up with that I started working on actually while I was shooting Guardians 1, and it’ll answer some of the questions that were put forth in the first movie about Peter Quill’s father and who he is and what’s going on with that. We’ll get to know some of the characters a little bit more and then we’re going to meet a couple of new characters who will be very important to Guardians movies and probably important to the Marvel Universe as a whole.”

 

And then he added:

 

“It’s different than what’s in the comic books. Peter Quill’s father is somebody different in the comics. So then when the movie came out, we got green-lit on the sequel right away. I went in and I sat down with those guys and I’m like, ‘Okay, here’s what I think the sequel should be.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, whoa. That’s risky, but okay.’ Now I’m going to turn over the story in a few short weeks and we’ll find out how well it works.”

--------------------

 

Okay, I am alright that they created a partial new universe with the first Guardians movie. My fear is when people have initial success, they start to assume everything they touch is gold and they start tampering with a solid backstory.

 

I am sure it will be fine.
