Young-adult dystopia movies may be losing their audience. Low box office sales for the third installment of The Divergent Series, The 5th Wave, and 2014’s The Giver, have some wondering if the genre is dying out—but the problem might just be overload. One analyst suggests, “The overriding premise of most of these films seem very similar and…YA audiences may be looking for other, perhaps fresher options.” Meanwhile, the “bleak future” premise is alive and well on TV: post-apocalypticThe 100 was renewed for another season, The Walking Dead is still going strong, and CW is premiering a Little Women-based show with a dystopian angle.
