Within arthouse crowds. I.e. very little resistance.
I know you love your popcorn flicks and cartoons made into Hollywood films etc, but there are certain demos (including some college ones) that reject such fare and opt for indie films.
I've never heard of such demos in Oregon, which may expain why it's unknown to you. (I am under the impression you are from Oregon, but not sure why - so I could be wrong.)
Perhaps my choice of word; resistance, was not the best. Don't read everything so literally.

cinema about 70% full on the first friday night in the uk May 02, 13:46
This was probably the case in much of western Europe. (Both the 70% attendance, roughly, and the A Team-trailer.) {nm} May 02, 16:58
Btw, was the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time-trailer also included with your UK prints... ? {nm} May 02, 17:00
The first IRON MAN did do better domestically than internationally so that percentage uptick should be higher in the US {nm} May 02, 11:46
Indeed. I know that in Europe, such films are regarded by many to be too American, too Hollywood. May 02, 11:57
I think you have a point. Maybe even two. My European look on that...; May 02, 12:54
My thoughts: the US market has more focus on seeing titles opening weekend. Elsewhere films have longer runs... May 03, 00:08
