 Get Ready for BITECON

The first U.S. “Teen Wolf Only” fan convention is a go for launch.

Having seen the success of the Wolfsbane Con in London, fans in Southern California figured they could do one here too.

They're using crowdsourcing as a means of funding for what they've dubbed “The Bite: A Teen Wolf Convention” or BiteCon for short.

In just the first day, their BiteCon Indigogo site raised nearly $13 thousand in funding, 30% above their stated goal.

No one from the cast is confirmed for the event yet, but we’re told, Tyler Posey is planning to appear and Melissa Ponzio has talked about going as well.

The long-range plan, if the first one works, is to do a few more BITECONs in various spots around the U.S.

Check out their fundraising and follow their progress on Twitter.

 Walking with Tyler

Through his individual efforts, and the “Walk W/ Posey” contest, Tyler Posey managed to raise more than $21 thousand for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Light the Night Walk.”

A handful of folks who donated got the chance to meet and hang with Tyler at the event last night at the Sunset Gower Studio in LA.

Jill Wagner (Kate Argent) also had a team in the event. She raised $21 thousand too.

According to their website, the Gower Studio event raised $377 thousand for research, patient support services, and advocacy.

 Maze Runner Release Date Pushed

Looks like Maze Runner WON'T be the next Hunger Games at the box office.

I don’t care what folks say – when a studio shelves a movie for an extended period of time it means they perceive something is wrong.

Dylan O'Brien's big franchise opportunity, Maze Runner, was originally set for a February 19, 2014 release.

Burying the film in the dead of winter already suggests the studio is less than enthusiastic about its prospects – now we’ve learned they’ve pushed that alreadykindalousy opening to next September.

Why is one month worse than another?

Hollywood does between $500 and $600 million worth of business in your average September. They usually do slightly bigger box office, $800 million or so, in February.

Compare both of those to the $1.3 billion in tickets sold during your average July and you can see what I mean.

If the release date push had been to the spring or summer I would be more optimistic.

Pushing it to the fall, September 19th, well after all of its intended audience will be back in school, suggests to me that the studio believes Maze Runner will be DOA.
