Well maybe the critics and I are the only ones who think the book is similar to Star Wars, Lord of the Rings not so much. Which I don't have problem with it is still a good book that kept me engrossed in the story.
As for the box office I had meant that if perhaps they had chosen better and more well known actors/director it might have done a bit better. Also because there weren't many people who had good things to say about it, less people would be less willing to see it. I have friends, some who have read it others who haven't, who say they don't want to see it because everyone is saying it was bad.
Yes certain titles bring in money, but also word of mouth also brings in money. If more people said it was good than more people even those unfamilar with it would see it.
I admit I still haven't seen it yet so I am going by what everyone is saying. So ignore me if you chose to, because I might not know what I am talking about.
