A film adaptation of a young adult novel, "If I Stay" movie is sure going to tug at the heartstrings of teeners and 40-somethings alike.
The film headlined the starring role of Chloe Grace Moretz, playing Mia, a teen prodigy. Mia can't be what she's used to be like once she died.
"If I Stay" movie was originally a novel written by Gayle Forman. The film garnered total sales of $6.8 million in its first day in theatres, toppling Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy" off the top of the charts, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
Experts, say "If I Stay" may not hold on to the top of the box office for a long time, though. Audiences will sure need a box full of tissues while seeing this film.
"If I Stay" movie may be compared with other teen movie for 2014, "The Fault In Our Stars, " as reported by The Citizen Times. Both films dealt with a near death experience of a leading female character. However, the identicalness of the theme of the two movies may just be more of a coincidence, than deliberate.
"The Fault In Our Stars" focused on a terminal illness producing an unforgettable love story . In "If I Stay" movie, the efforts made to make things work was the focus when a car accident changed the lives of the characters.
