Well it's Wednesday...doesn't the film officially release on Friday? I doubt the bad press will do anything to prevent a 75 million dollar opening. All the brainwashed dunces who think this book is so amazing wil flood theaters to see it.
The book was boring in so many ways. I can't imagine the film doing anything to improve on that.
Yeah, there really isn't much competition. Nothing similar as far as new releases. A slasher and a PG animated. MI III will still be selling some tickets.
In a couple of weeks it will be Memorial Day weekend and the DVC movie will be old news.
