megahit

After “The Giver,” there were a few other megahits that helped put YA on the map.

With “Love Stinks,” the J. Geils Band enjoyed breakthrough success, followed by the megahits “Centerfold” and “Freeze Frame.”

But the Simpson trial became the genre’s first megahit.

Allen’s 2011 comedy “Midnight in Paris” brought him his fourth Oscar, for original screenplay, and took in more than $150 million worldwide — a megahit by the standards of independent cinema.

A criminal case involving stolen, handwritten lyrics to the Eagles’ rock megahit “Hotel California” and additional tunes is going to trial in a New York courtroom.
