That's about right.

So many problems but I definitely don't think Newell was the right guy for the job... I think Sorcerer's Apprentice will be much better cause we already know Bruckheimer, Turteltaub and Cage work well together... just hope the script is okay. I've seen some extended scenes that were mainly dialogue and they worked due to the the rapport of Cage/Baruchel.  As an FX movie, it's going to be SERIOUSLY overshadowed by Last Airbender though... ILM will get an Oscar nod for their work in that. MARK MY WORDS... LOL! :)

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

BTW, what do you think happened with MacGruber? secretstalker May 22, 05:55

Tracking on it was terrible. I don't think anything happened to it. Campaign was bad, stars are weak, and... RupertPupkin May 22, 05:59

its a 30-second sketch that they've already beat to death on SNL {nm} lapuckfan May 22, 07:20

i agree, and what really clued me into it was Dreamworks lowering their expectations to investors. they did not want mud on their face and lobogotti May 22, 06:01

Did DreamWorks lower their expectations? I thought it was a third party analyst. {nm} secretstalker May 22, 06:03

you are correct, i just glazed over the post and did not read the full article at the time... lobogotti May 22, 06:06

I saw a bunch of the ads, and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what SHRK4 was actually about. Camera May 22, 09:35

If it was a "brilliant little piece of counter-programming," why did it flop miserably? {nm} RupertPupkin May 22, 11:37
