Robert Pattinson’s next film, Cosmopolis, won MTV Movie Brawl with more than 3 million votes, beating not only Breaking Dawn – Part 2, The Dark Knight Rises, Daniel Radcliffe’s first Post-Potter adventure The Woman in Black, and its toughest competition The Hunger Games. Looks like Rob’s fanbase is stronger than ever!
And so, after easily fighting off “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Cosmopolis” came to face “The Hunger Games,” a brand-new franchise that had waltzed through the tournament and seemed to be the odds-on favorite to win the whole tourney. But it was not to be. After more than 3 million votes and a slew of lead changes, Pattinson’s film beat back Jennifer Lawrence’s series to become the undisputed champion of the Movie Brawl.
Hours before voting closed Monday afternoon (January 23), with “Cosmopolis” staking out an insurmountable lead and the MTV Movies team at the Sundance Film Festival, we broke the news to Pattinson’s co-star, Paul Giamatti, that their film had won the tournament.
“Holy cow, that’s astounding!” he said. “The fact of that is amazing. … That’s a really cool thing that it brings that visibility to that movie.”
Will this translate into box office gold? Let’s make sure it does!
