While the original #HungerGames was sold as an antidote to Twilight, with Katniss Everdeen as a death-dealing bad-ass in contrast to lovesick Bella Swan, #BalladofSongbirdsAndSnakes offered a 'bad romance' for the Wattpad generation. scottmendelson.substack.com/p/as-hunger-ga…
With a reasonable budget, a homework-free plot and a story cleverly aimed as much at today's teens as yesterday's #HungerGames fans, #BalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes just passed $250M WW (and #TaylorSwift ) to become (by default) the event movie of the season.

It's not remotely inevitable, but it's entirely possible that #GodzillaMinusOne will top the #boxoffice this coming weekend. That might be more of an indictment of a paltry release slate, but it would still be pretty cool.
So #AbandonBiden was a Flynn op that was possibly planned BEFORE the Hamas terror attack? 😮👀
