Production budget: $12,000,000 Worldwide gross: $304,186,490 Profit: 2,535% Although Jennifer Lawrence remains the go-to girl for virtually any role requiring an actress in her early twenties, Shailene Woodley is fast becoming a contender to be reckoned with. The actress first came to prominence as the daughter of George Clooneys character in Alexander Paynes The Descendants, but its the last year or so that has seen Woodley make a major breakthrough. Quietly impressive alongside Miles Teller in 2013s The Spectacular Now, the actress kicked off 2014 in style by heading up the cast of Divergent, which opened in March and grossed over $304 million by the end of its run. Woodley was also supposed to appear as long-time Peter Parker love interest Mary Jane Watson in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and effectively dodged a bullet when her part in the much-maligned sequel was left on the cutting room floor. Still, The Fault In Our Stars gave Woodley her second big hit in 2014 when it was released in June. As another adaptation of a YA novel, TFIOS shares common ground with Divergent and made a similar impact at the box office with its haul of $304 million. However, at a cost of just $12 million the teen weepie was far more profitable and saw off all but two other films in that regard.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
