I thought that seemed to be everywhere and I knew a lot of people who expressed interest in seeing it... I was asked a lot about the movie from a number of people who seemed interested and I figured the young crowd would be rushing out to see it but this is like the SNL sketch curse times TEN... Even effin' Ladies' Man did better than this.

so $70M means this film got very little loyalty from the previous crowds. the unmarried couples, teens and college kids saw no reason to lobogotti May 22, 05:30

oh and 2/2. {nm} lobogotti May 22, 05:30

I think going into the weekend, it was known that it lost a lot of the teen/college crowd with the last movie. secretstalker May 22, 05:41

My concern is that it might not actually play well with kids and parents RupertPupkin May 22, 05:51

I haven't seen it.. but it seems to be marketed well to kids/families with the commercials. secretstalker May 22, 05:54

Right--marketing for families has been fine. I'm talking about long-term playability for it, though RupertPupkin May 22, 05:57

was it worse than TFRM2, Poseidon and The Day After Tomorrow? {nm} lobogotti May 22, 06:04

TF2 and DAT are guilty pleasures. :) It was roughly on par with Poseidon. {nm} RupertPupkin May 22, 06:07

That's about right. secretstalker May 22, 06:10

Last Airbender has serious performance issues, though. Shyamalan is not an 'actor's director." RupertPupkin May 22, 06:20

Kinda ironic for a director who discovered under-20 Oscar nominees Haley Joel Osment and Abigail Breslin secretstalker May 22, 06:24
