Wow, This Christmas sure is doing very well for a movie I just had to look it up to see what it even was.
Happy to see Enchanted do so well because it's just fabulous.
Was The Mist a Weinstein release? This weekend sure seems like their typical dumb timing.

I had no ideal Enchanted and This Christmas were real movies. I can't believe that they are doing so well since I would think they only have a limited audience each. I guess not.
And What in the hell is the Weinstien company gonna do? seriously? How many bombs does it take for them and New Line to cause serious damage to the studio.

The thing about The Mist is i saw the trailer and it didn't really make me want to run out and see it. The same for Hitman. However, the trailers for I Am Legend and Sweney Todd made me go whoa i need to see those in the theater.

If you watch Disney Channel, they have been promoting the heck out of Enchanted for almost 2 months.
Almost went to see it Friday after shopping, but I was too tired.

The Mist...wow I can't believe this is bombing.
No Country For Old Men...when is this getting a wider release? I can't wait to see just how well it holds up.

- No Country For Old Men had almost the same average as Enchanted. Nice!
- Surprised The Mist got so low, alot of ads and word of mouth around here.
- Equally surprised August Rush and Hitman did as well as they did
-Good job Enchanted, still need to check it out.

Would you rather invest 60 million in a movie you're hoping will end up with about 100 mill at the boc office or 7 million in about 8 movies that will make 30-40 million a piece?
