quote:
Looks like love conquers all! Both The Fault in Our Stars and The Edge of Tomorrow opened in movie theaters this weekend, and the adaptation of the YA bestseller beat out Tom Cruise's action flick.

Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort's flick took in $48 million while Edge of Tomorrow, also starring Emily Blunt, brought in $29.1 million for its domestic debut.

Sure, plenty of TFIOS fans headed to the theaters in droves to take in the film, but two very familiar faces also contributed to its box office success.

Ansel Elgort shared a photo of himself and an incognito Shailene on Instagram—the actress ditched her pixie cut for the evening in favor of a curly wig.

"Shai's amazing disguise to go see #tfios last night without causing a scene!" the hunky actor wrote.

But that wasn't the only sneaky move Woodley pulled. "Shai is bringing her own popcorn to #tfios hahahaha. So bootleg," Elgort tweeted.

She's sneaking in her own POPCORN!? Shouldn't she respect the industry that she works in enough to just buy a popcorn? Even if it's $7 at the theatre she went to, you can't tell me that she can't afford it! I say we take back the award that us theatre owners gave her at CinemaCon if this is how she pays us back!

While I agree with you about the popcorn issue, the thread title makes it sound like the CinemaCon people ARE rescinding the award. You should change it to something like "I think we should rescind Shailene Woodley's CinemaCon Award!"

Rescinding the award would be petty. They should ask her agent to convince her to make a PSA for theatres about not doing stupid things. The fear is she is a role model who other teenage girls will emulate. Have her do a turn off you cell phones policy strip along with No Outside Food and she will have earned her award.

Now, if only I had an idea of who this person is;>
