3/24/14: Fandom Update: Divergent and Death

Hey guys! Sorry I've been a bit lazy lately, but I'm trying to get better at planning ahead. 

What Happened This Week?

Release of the Divergent Movie
     Sadly, I myself have not scene the movie, but I have definitely heard a lot about last weekend's release. First off, Divergent pulled off about $56 million in the opening weekend, which amazing compared to its competition of releases over the weekend, which included "Muppets Most Wanted" and "Peabody and Sherman." But sadly it did not pull in as much as blockbusters like "The Hunger Games" or "Twilight." BUT IT IS OKAY. This means that Divergent will continue in its franchise, Insurgent expected to come out in the next two years. As fans, I believe, that we were not expecting it to do as well. At least it shouldn't have. Divergent, along with movies like The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Beautiful Creatures, and Vampire Academy, are geared towards teen audiences. Twilight and The Hunger Games grew there viewing center into adults, which added more people to the audiences who would see the movie. The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, and other news sources always make a big deal of comparing each and every teen movie to the last, but really, we shouldn't be doing that. Divergent was geared towards young adults, and made a lot of money compared to the movies geared towards adults and teens. So celebrate, because Divergent made money!
     Due to a mixed response by both the media and the fans, I have no idea how people think it did as a whole. I am going to see it this coming Friday, so expect a review soon.

Mourning Character Deaths *SPOILERS* 

     As many of you probably saw last Monday night, Allison Argent from Teen Wolf is dead. Fans will miss the strong headed, badass heroine that was admired by all. Crystal Reed spoke with MailOnline saying that the response from fans was absolutely amazing. Many fans participated in getting arrow tattoos in honor of the beloved warrior, while others payed their respects on the Teen Wolf Memorial site. Allison will be greatly missed in these coming episodes. But isn't that the real question. How will the characters on Teen Wolf take Argent's death? What will Scott and Mr. Argent do? Can't wait to find out in this coming episode, the season finale, Monday night at 9pm Central.
