consider those movies failed; just the perception of it when a studio is scheduling its openings. I didn't see it, but it looked like a "disastrous star vehicle" from the trailers, and I am assuming it looked that way to the studio, too. I could be wrong, I just picked movies that fit my claim from the last couple years of March releases. I left out a few that didn't fit in.
FTR, I would dispute that it made back its budget that quickly, since the marketing budget probably doubled the reported budget. But I am surprised at how successful it was overall.
I kinda liked Bringing Down the House.
We went to the dollar theater to see
Bringing Down the House
and
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
I thought the former would suck and the latter would be funny and enjoyable. I got it backwards.
Carrot top got buff! The pictures are pretty fucking frightening. Not sure why I'm posting the link here, except I feel compelled to share the horror.
I will NEVER click on that link.
Join me, my like-minded friends....

I never got that impression from either the trailer, nor from the people I know that saw it, though.
CT's been a work-out junkie for forever.
So I don't need to click.

You've already been scarred by seeing far more than is on display at that link, haven't you?

I give! Except for the part where I thought the trailer made it look like a disastrous star vehicle. I never heard one way or the other whether it was actually any good until today.
