...Hoodwinked 2 cost 30 million to make?
That ugly-ass movie with CGI straight out of 1996 cost 30 million?
...where the hell did it all go?

Nothing there really jumps out at you when you compare to flops of past years. If were talking big budget action movies only then even stuff like Speed Racer flopped way worse than Green Lantern did.

I'm so bummed that Drive Angry flopped. For a 3D movie, it didn't even cost all that much to make compared to most, and it was one of the better ones.
And how limited was The Beaver's release?

I kinda figured Mars Needs Moms would be the topper. And deservedly so. No more creepy CGI humans please.

DVD sales and international ticket sales matter, too, but yeah, some of these really took a bath. Mars Needs Moms is likely going to be impossible to break even on, much less make a profit.

Honestly, if you gave me the choice out of those ten to watch, I'd probably end up picking Judy Moody.

Hope you aren't looking forward to this then Well, I was. Still am, here. Usually don't like that, but this is actually kind of awesome. I think the cartoon noses help it not be as creepy as Beowolf, etc, were.

What is "Mars Needs Moms?" I'm pretty sure that I've seen a porno with that exact premise.

Hope you aren't looking forward to this then Well, I was. I don't mean to sound like a "cartoon smark", but that really calls for more toony looking desings. Tintin needs his button eyes. And I think it's too early to call Green Lantern a total flop just yet.
