Yes but in that 4 weeks it will gross more then any other film has this year....critics or no critics this film is still gonna make buckets full of money...
And that is a rather sad commentary in my book. Truthfully, since when has box office mattered to anyone interested in quality films? It's more an issue of the rapidly descending quality of American movies that cannot stand up to their Emperor's New Clothes studio hype, and this one fits that bill.
In a case like this, the money may rake itself in initially but then the film will turn audiences off, and the end result is that this is exactly why attendance is down at the movies these days--people are less and less satisfied by the product, and with increasing ticket prices, they feel burned.
Why spend twenty bucks on a movie like this when you could use that money to buy a DVD of a quality film you love?
