Musicals, even if extremely popular, do not often get much fandom love. Like Wicked was HUGE and great for fandom stuff but compare how many people saw Wicked versus how much fan stuff gets produced/gets attention and it's kind of a small number.

A lot of Into the Woods fans were not happy with the movie either, so it didn't really help to boost the fandom (I liked the movie myself, but I've seen a lot of people be critical of it.)

DA

I think you're right about musicals. Les Mis is probably the one exception I can think of where the fandom was really big and active after the 2012 movie came out.

... Mayyyybe the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie had a substantial fandom for the time, from what I remember.

I think Les Mis is largely an exception since it has a VERY long and VERY detailed book its based on, which helps fans have more to attach themselves too.

Eh... the 2004 POTO had a fandom. But it also split the existing POTO fandom, which had been watching the movie drown in development hell for over a decade, into warring camps of pro and anti movie fans. Then came Love Never Dies and another schism. I'd say the phandom as a whole is still pretty active, although the biggest website and associated forums going under, along with fandom as a whole migrating to tumblr, means there's not really a central fan hub anymore. We're about due for another adaptation. And yeah, Les Mis is the other big musical fandom out there. Good thing the main action is about 50 years apart or there'd be more POTO/Les Mis crossovers.
