At least the DVD should be out by November at the rate it's going.

I think the public got wise the last time there was a movie with a lot of internet buzz that they know it's just hype. And that they may not like it which was the case with THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

It actually just turned out that people were only interested in talking about Snakes, not seeing it. The movie is doing about as well as people expected it to do before all the internet hype began.
I remember when I first was hearing about Snakes on a Plane, everyone said how it would be awful and wouldn't make money...Then the hype began about how it'd be a "so-bad-it's-good" film and would make tons of money and people would see it from sheer curiousity of how bad it was....Then the movie comes out, is actually a decent film (and extremely fun/enjoyable!) and nobody really cares.

Nothing too exciting this weekend. Super-Bombtacular numbers for How to Eat Fried Worms. I guess people didn't want to know.
Snakes dropped a lot. Pirates of the Caribbean is finally out of the Top 10.

Looks like most critics enjoyed it.
