It bombed?

Not entirely. It's getting freakass mixed reviews which claim it to be either "A New Holiday Classic" or "The Freakiest Thing Since Meet The Feebles." But it cost $120 mil, so it's got to do huge business to make money. And it only pulled $30 mil or so for opening weekend.

But it cost $120 mil,

MSNBC says it cost "a reported $170 million."

Hee.

eta: Yahoo says "reportedly cost $270 million to make and market."

Double-hee.

Oh, they're never going to recoup that. Slow opening weekends can be overcome by a sleeper hit, but I don't think there's ever been a $270 million sleeper hit. Maybe My Big Fat Greek Wedding, once you factor in foreign grosses, but it made its money over more than a year and the word of mouth wasn't of the "it's the eeriest thing you've ever seen!" variety.

I just saw a commercial for the Uncanny Valley Creeptastic Polar Express -- playing at the IMAX theater. I think they're desperate.

ION, if Sideways and Kinsey don't get their asses here soon, I'm going to shake my fist in a reproving manner in the general direction of Hollywood.

t edit Okay, Hollywood is partially safe from the wrath of my fist-shake. Sideways opens Friday.

Steph, you're not getting Kinsey?

We had a disply up for it at the theater here in Lancaster. I was surprised, actually.

I imagine we'll get it, but as of now, it's not listed in the "Coming Soon" section of my theatre's website (the indie theatre in my neighborhood is the most likely to show it). And I'd bet good money that it only runs for a week.

Do you guys know when Finding Neverland is going to be in wide release?

I saw Incredibles today. iiiiieeeeee! Oh my goodness, I love that movie. I want to go see it again right now.

No capes!

Hee!

Pete is just as enthralled with the movie. He thinks it's the best adventure movie ever made.

And yes, Aimée and MM should go as Bob & Helen next Halloween, with Emma (who will be born on November 17th, trust me) as Jack-Jack.
