THR: Massive Tracking for [HGAME] Could Mean a $100 Mil Opening Antibody Mar 01, 13:00

I read the first book this week and I can see how perfect the story is for movies Jane_Citizen Mar 01, 13:07

LAT's take, says that it could come close to or surpass 100. Paul2k Mar 01, 13:19

MTV provides a little perspective on the tracking numbers while EW throws in its own guess of 80-100. Paul2k Mar 01, 13:21

"and if it makes 101 million does that mean THR will say TOLDJA?" {nm} mickpix Mar 01, 13:41

My wife and I talked recently about how we think Harry Potter is partly responsible for the success of the Twilight and Hunger Games series mrbeankc Mar 01, 13:48

So what's next? The Hardy Boys franchise comes to the silver screen? :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 13:50

Too old, that's what their parents read. {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 13:52

The Hardy Toddlers then :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 13:52

I meant the books are too old. The next big series hasn't been written yet. {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 13:53

I knew what you meant, was just being cheeky lol. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 13:53

Although if OMARS becomes a hit, then maybe the Hardy Boys isn't "too old"... {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 13:55

Today's teens haven't read OMARS so not the right comparison. {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 13:55

Then maybe I should say: If OMARS becomes a hit, then maybe Agatha Christie novels aren't "too old"? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 13:58

Is it too soon for Murder She Wrote big screen treatment? Matlock? tribality Mar 01, 14:00

I think it's never too soon for those, but that's just me. ;) {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 14:06

I haven't been a teen in nearly 20 years and I have not read OMARS {nm} tribality Mar 01, 14:00

One could argue for EGAME, but most of that series' fanbase is Gen X. {nm} Antibody Mar 01, 13:58

But only EGAME and the (2nd series) Bean novels have any action whatsoever. The Ender sequel novels were slow, thoughtful books. {nm} BSmurf Mar 01, 14:22

The Three Investigators next please :) {nm} tealfan Mar 01, 16:57

The Berenstein Bears! :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 17:02

Indeed, Twilight owes a lot of its succes to Potter, IMHO, because... GalacticPothealer Mar 01, 13:53

It was often said that the Potter series was turning a generation of kids into lifetime readers. I think with the success of the.. mrbeankc Mar 01, 14:12

Still not too late to buy Lionsgate stock... Hunger Games will have huge impact, along with Sheen's Anger Management {nm} Hasnerhoff Mar 01, 14:29

So are you saying that I should buy stock in the movie? Will it make me a lot of money, cause it's pretty expensive. {nm} NewBie Mar 01, 19:35

You cheeky little... :P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Mar 01, 20:33

Man, I pull ate there? {nm} PVL Admin Mar 01, 22:50
