Not unexpected. Possibly a good marketing move.

Screw the critics - they’re all a much of socialist lemmings! We the people will make this a success - the rest of Hollywood be damned!

I’ll buy the DVD. I just can’t get myself up for a four-hour round trip drive to see a two-hour movie.

It’ll be lucky to make $4m on a $20m budget. No sequel is possible on that.

He would be smarter to release exclusively to Netflix or DVD.

Well, this is the LA LA times, after all.
But it seems that he is giving up too soon.
The kind of crowd who would go to see his film were busy with Easter this last weekend. Besides, they need to get out the rest of the dups for the up to 1,000 screens that wanted this movie after the opening.

A bad movie on an excellent book, is still a B-A-D movie.
Remember the annimated “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” movies. They were horrible, I mean I would rather read the fine print on my homeowners coverage than sit through those things.
On the other hand, a well done movie, based on a great book - is a stellar experience. I offer the latest films of “Lord of the Rings” as an example.

They already released this movie? I thought it was going to be released in a few years. Not like I was going to go see it anyway.

Though the film has made only $3.1 million so far, Aglialoro said he believes he'll recoup his investment after TV, DVD and other ancillary rights are sold. But he is backing off an earlier strategy to expand "Atlas" to 1,000 screens and reconsidering his plans to start production on a second film this fall.

The critics are not the problem. His crappy distribution plan is the problem. It is kind of hard to make a lot of money when your movie is only showing on a little over 400 screens.

The simple fact that they were talking about making 3 a musical insured I wouldn’t watch 1.

...flagging box office returns for the film. Flagging? Sh**, the nearest theater to me showing it is 200 miles up the road in Richmond. What the hell did he expect?

Just because reviewers hate a movie doesn’t mean people won’t watch it. Just look at anything by Michael Bay.

The critics are ideologically leftist. The only reason they would go to this movie is to pan it.
