It’s now $11.00 to go to the movies. I have a 50 inch screen at home. Redbox is $1.00. Simple economics.

Not only that, Roberts and Hank are a *tired* team. Who wants to see them in a chick-flick?

I’ll bet soon that movies will go direct to DVD - eliminate cinema’s - you can get the same viewing pleasure with a large screen TV and a home theatre system, and, without all that noise crunching of popcorn and whispering going on behind you.

Exactly. The demographics this movie appealed to are the demographics who wait for the Redbox release, have decent to high quality home theaters and prefer to avoid the crowds and unruly behavior that has taken over movie theaters these days.

Hollywood needs to figure this out and start releasing movies on Blu-ray/DVD the following Tuesday after the theatrical release.
