That's so me.

What is popular right now though? Seems to me that book adaptations are all the rage (I believe the Hunger Games was a book first, as was John Carter).

Speaking of the Hunger Games, I told my kids to get ready - we're not gonna SEE the movie, we're gonna LIVE the movie.

Well, anything with a pre-sold built in audience awareness is HOT right now. Whether that be a book series, tv show, comic books, remakes or any other medium really. Mainstream hollywood loves to play it safe.



Also, anything with young female appeal in "genre" work especially hot. Young women in "genre" roles have long been overlooked until Twilight really.


John Carter had a pre-sold audience but the books were old, the marketing was botched, no stars and no young female appeal.

The name "John Carter" doesn't exactly jump up and grab you, either, if you've never heard of it before (which I hadn't). Doesn't make me think neat new sci-fi movie - it makes me think accountant who lives down the street.

Plus, there's a general conception that movies released this time of year suck - otherwise, they'd be released during the summer season or around Christmas.

Well the first book was released in 1912 and the last in 1943, so there's not an immediate, mainstream hook there...

That used to be the case and still somewhat is (Studios hold back their best stuff for Summer and Christmas) but not as much anymore.

Look how huge Hunger Games was. Really the only times anymore that i can think of where BIG movies are not opening is early January, Late April and Early September.

And this year it makes sense for Hunger Games to come out now, given how crowded the summer season will be. The Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, MIBIII, Spiderman, Total Recall, Expendables 2, etc. Hunger Games would have done ok, but wouldn't have had nearly the success if it had been lost among the crowd.
