He predicted the movie might have a good opening week-end as people are curious, before word-of-mouth makes it take its big plunge.


I think it will be the total opposite. It had a weak opening weekend, surely due to naysayers like your reviewers, and poor marketing campaign. But it was a good movie, I think the ticket sales will pick up rather than drop.


Happy? More like amused, at best, though i tend to agree that adapting this series was a bad idea coming way too late.

And why should a flopping 250 millions blockbuster upset me? I don't really care either way. The marketing campaign is limited because Disney don't seem to agree with you it's a "good movie" (ie: one that stand to make a great deal of money). The release date - when the movie won't have to face big blokbuster competition - and limited marketing investment point to a strategy to limit their losses.

I've heard/watched a few more reviews since and even the far more positive ones are not very enthusiastic.
