"Quite the flop, they haven't tripled their money in the first 2 weeks."

Yeah, what a disaster. MY investments should fail like this.

They're predicting $350 million -- and then there's DVD sales.

See, that's what I meant by saying the movie crashed in the second week. I never claimed the movie wouldn't make money. In fact, I clearly stated the opposite to be true. But a lot of people WERE predicting around $350 million domestic, and the movie looks likely to land short of $200 million, based on the bad reviews and bad word of mouth. Hence the crack about "Fandango" that started the article: the bad word and mouth and reviews couldn't dampen the opening weekend of what clearly was one of the most talked-about and awaited movies of all time.
