granted I have no idea, but was anyone watching the flintstones or the chipmunks?

I don't buy that there is a following that drives an alvin and the chipmunks. It's a family movie that's a comedy, and if the trailer grabs, I don't see why it wouldn't do average business. For the to young for narnia what other options do you have for xmas?

I wouldn't be surprised to see YOGIB open to half that, and not because it looks terrible. Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 14:37

I just saw the trailer in theaters and yeah, it looks bad... but kids seem to love that kind of stuff. secretstalker Nov 28, 14:53

the yogi trailers look alternately trainwrecky and hilarious. "but yogi, we never practiced the razzle dazzle" slays me {nm} islander Nov 28, 14:55

As an FYI, YOGIB is currently posting 16% negative buzz on Twitter, which means a lot of users are bashing the heck out of it. Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 15:32

I'd expect that the primary audience for the movie is too young to be on Twitter. secretstalker Nov 28, 17:29

Haha, true. If parents are trashing the film, the kids will need a hard sell for them to open their wallets! {nm} Rolling_Thunder Nov 28, 17:35

YB is waaay to high. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 28, 14:47

why? flinstones opened to $30M way back in '94, Scooby Doo to 54, and both alvins in the 40's, and Yogi is every bit as beloved as those. {nm} islander Nov 28, 14:52

YB is no where near as beloved as Scooby Doo and/or Alvins. Flintstones...can't argue with you there. {nm} Port Value League Admin Nov 28, 14:58
