I'd like to see Jackson do a different take on the end of Lovely Bones... the book just sort of trails off.

I do think the heavy marketing to Christian youth groups and the like will also have a positive effect on the box office.

It's seems rather a moot point to me to compare traditional sequels, which are usually more of the same, to a continuing story like Harry Potter. It's like LOTR, and people see movie five because it picks up with and deals with the same story and characters as movie four.

I don't think Nemesis bombed just because it was up against LOTR. It was also really, really, really bad, even for a Star Trek movie. In my opinion, anyway.

And the trailers for Valiant that DID make it to theaters made it look as awful and cliched as I'm sure it ultimately was, not that I saw it.

Well, even if CL does make $35 million this weekend, it will likely top out at $150-$175. According to estimates I've read, this movie needs to be a $300 million hit for Disney to be able to tell Pixar to piss off.

I wouldn't be surprised if Emily Rose tops out at around $65 million; WOM will be pretty bad, I judge, based on the misleading marketing. Most of the audience I saw it with was made up of group of teens with no parents in tow, and most left saying it sucked. Though I did hear one boy, maybe 12...

Having seen Red Eye, I'm not surprised that it held up so well. It got great reviews and should have good WOM - it was a very fun, taut 85-minute thriller.

What I think is funny about Titanic as Paramount's biggest hit is the fact that they got a piece of it ONLY because Fox got cold feet. For a fairly minimal investment, they got back huge returns in domestic BO and video sales.

I'd hope the failure of AITD would end Uwe Boll's career before it would bring an end to the videogame-to-movie genre.

My point was, the "good" superhero movies make $150 million up. Daredevil made $40 million in one weekend and then took months to creep over $100 million. And unlike X-Men and Spider-Man, it got bad reviews from critics and very mixed WOM from fans.

So.... Fox is surprised no one wanted to see a confusingly linked spin-off from a relatively disliked superhero movie? Weird.
