![]() ![]() “I was not surprised at the negative reviews or the haters that surface every time a book or a movie with Stephenie Meyer’s name attached to it comes out. Lizzie commented on this post and what she said stood out for me: Is it associating Stephenie Meyer and Twilight with it? Is it the subject matter of aliens? Is it just a bad job at promoting it? Or is just a really bad movie? I am still stumped at all the overwhelming negative reviews. I really don’t know what happened with this movie. Of course, Stephenie Meyer still has not finished writing the second novel, so that complicates matters further. The hordes who swarmed the film adaptations of Meyer’s Twilight saga apparently did not find a romance about a parasitic alien nearly as compelling because they did not show up at the cineplex last weekend.” “A spokeswoman for The Host says information regarding the probability of a sequel “is not available at this time,” but the film’s dismal opening weekend does not bode well for a follow-up. ![]() I am wondering if it will drop out of the top ten this weekend completely. According to Box Office Mojo, it is sitting at over $24 million right now total with six days of release so far. Based on both international and domestic box office results, the film has not made back its $40 million budget. The girls at Strictly Robsten tipped us on an article published today at Movieline (source) addressing the issue if there will be a sequel to The Host movie. ![]()
