Star Wars: The Force Awakens Falls Second In Most Anticipated Movie This Fall

By: Cannon Adams

I hope my eyes are not playing tricks on me here. Nope they are not so you yourself have read the title of this post correctly. A new survey showed that movie goers are more excited to see The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 movie than The Force Awakens. Each of these films have a score rating as top 3 in the history of the survey. 

Variety  has the result of the survey asking movie goers which of the 2 films they are more excited for this fall.

"The consumer tracking company polled 3,000 people about upcoming fall movies and found that "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" were the most hotly anticipated upcoming releases. In fact, both films scored some of the highest ratings Piedmont has recorded since it began polling audiences five years ago. The company rates consumer engagement on a scale of zero to 1,000, and the fourth and final "Hunger Games" had a 514 rating, beating last summer's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and its score of 509, as the best overall number it has ever recorded.

"The "Star Wars" sequel posted a 495 rating, the third best figure since Piedmont began its surveys. It also had the best score among males that Piedmont has seen with 553. Females also are looking forward to the film, with their interest level hitting 383."

 There is not much of a marketing push by Disney for The Force Awakens unlike the new Hunger Games movie where they have been pushing the marketing for ever since Mockingjay Part 1 so this comes to no shock. But we all know who is going to be the winner in the ring! At times when movie industries don't push hard for their movies to be out there and known all around means that they of course want a lot of content kept hush hush until the movie is released so that people's minds will be blown. This is what J.J Abrams and Disney plan to do until the release of The Force Awakens and only giving us small detail of the coming months since Thanksgiving of 2014. Mockingjay may win people's hearts once the final movie is launched this November, but when The Force Awakens releases, more hearts will be won!
