The reviews have been pretty bad for the film. I dont think it will have "legs". I plan on seeing it eventually, probably will borrow the DVD from my sister or something.

If the 78 mill gross for first weekend is accurate than it doesnt need to have much in the way of legs, it has already walked a great deal down the road to commercial success.

I am thinking they probably have to have about $400 million gross to pay for the film. It might reach that mark, but this really needs to be a huge blockbuster if it is going to pay for all their other flops.

Definately, a movie like this doesn't have a huge budget either. It will make the studio happy.

Given the staggering amount spent on marketing, I have to believe $78MM could be a disappointing figure. Just a hunch.
