Well Marty, your studio stupidly released it two weeks too early. It's a family film and a Christmas film and Dec. 1 is too early for your target audience.
We're taking our youth group this Sunday, but I know many, many people who plan to see it the 23rd or the 26th when their extended family gets together.
I am also sure it will do well on dvd next Christmas as this is the kind of thing you give your grandbabies.
I totally agree with you. I am too busy with school projects to take the kids to this one immediately. My husband and niece will take our three children closer to Christmas. Lucky me gets to stay home with the little one.
