It will be the fourth one. It is an extremely successful series.
Curse?????? She won the Golden Globe as Maria in West Side Story. You probably know this just as you probably know The Hunger Games series is a worldwide phenomenon. She was also nominated for 18 additional awards for West Side Story and she won three of them - four in total. She is not a box office curse.
It’ll be interesting to see how this movie does, the series had 4 movies (2012, 13, 14, 15) and they were all linked as one story based on a 3 book series. The first 2 movies did great and then people kind of lost interest but the last still pulled in $650 million. This will be a stand alone based on the 4th book that’s set about 50 years before the other books. Similar to how the Fantastic Beasts is part of the Harry Potter world but not really directly connected to the original story, as such I don’t think it’s going to match the box office of the others, if it can match other add on movies and pull in 60% of the series last movie it could bring in $400+ million, whether that’s enough to turn a profit largely depends on how much they’re spending on it. I cant recall audiences asking for another Hunger Games movie so I could also see this not finding an audience and flopping spectacularly in todays hostile movie market.
There is no Ziegler curse…quite the opposite…it was her pretty unanimous praise for West Side Story that has led to more opportunities for her
I'm not sure they are. I don't see a lot of buzz for it. I know my wife who absolutely loved the books, picked up all the movies, hasn't shown an ounce of interest in it. And she's the target audience. It could do well but It's by no means a guaranteed slam dunk success.

I really think Snow White will be the first real test of Zegler's stardom.
The issue that she could face, is it doesn't matter if it was her fault. Lets say hunger games doesn't do well. And then what if snow white is a failure as well. Now you're the actress with 4 big budget flops in a row. Not a good look for any actor or actress. Hollywood can be a fickle place. Heck, even if one is a hit, that's still 3 of 4 majors underperforming. That's still not great.
My opinion on what I would love to see remade are the movies that WEREN'T hits. the films that either flopped because of poor story or the effects weren't there for the time. Films that could be changed a bit and 'fixed'. They could have done The Black Cauldron, or Atlantis, or Treasure Planet. They really missed out on The Black Cauldron during their early 2000s LotR era. Even Hunchback would have been cool, especially with the buzz around the theatrical production. I have had no interest to see a frame by frame remake of the movies I personally grew up with and loved like Aladdin, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the beast. but the ones that didn't get the love and popularity would have been interesting to see what they could do with a live action interpretation.
Stardom seems a bit generous, prior to this thread I’d never heard of her, she’s been a supporting role actor, or at best a secondary lead.
Too true, it is a What Have You Done Lately business here popularity has weight.Well, at least Rachel Zegler will have her signature brand of personal charm to fall back on.
As Rachel Zegler said herself at D23 Expo about potentially cutting out the character played by Andrew Burnap... "All of Andrew's scenes could get cut, it's Hollywood, baby. Ha ha."
Rachel Zegler's career may get cut. It's Hollywood, baby. Ha ha?
