The Last Witch Hunter is a straight up good versus evil movie; light on story, lot’s of action. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

Badly, very badly....................

any movie that is made to be seen on a big screen. Human interest or comedy movies I just don’t think are worth the expense when they will be on Cable or Netflix in a short time.

That is exactly how I feel about it. I'd rather watch a movie at home where I don't have to deal with idiots unless it's a visual treat.

Opened in 2000 theaters this weekend, and grossed only $7.3 million. It’s estimated they need $120M to make a profit.

I purchased a low end HDTV model - no bells and whistles but OK that is 60" across for under $900. It makes it not worth seeing a movie in a theater with the rabble.

I honestly can't tell the difference of the quality of my LCD HDTV vs that of a premium version. I hooked it up to an old stereo system I had that played cassettes (long since broken feature) but the rest of that 1980s system is still a peach - awesome rich sounds.

ENJOY the SCHADENFREUDE!.....................

Thank you. I’m pleased.

I believe the movie shows that Steve Jobes is a pri¢k.

A REAL big pri¢k.

An even bigger pri¢k than FR’s #1 Apple fanboy, if you can ingest that...

you could not pay me to go see any movie with Seth Rogin in it , I would never contribute to that dirtbag’s earnings . EVER!

Did they leave Matt Damon there?......................

[fatnotlazy]

Thank you. I’m a happy camper.

Jem and the Holograms? Really? That was doomed to fail from it’s inception.

You must be rich.

OOPS that was Steve Jobs at $7.3M.

That sounds like a lot of theaters. How in the world did they do that on a movie about a president and an election everyone wants to forget about?

[Tijeras_Slim]

I screwed up, that was for the Steve Jobs movie.

I'm surprised the Steve Jobs movie is a flop

Did you see it? I did. It's a good enough movie and grabbed the audience's attention. I'm not sure it's as deep a character study as it claims to be. It was okay. Maybe people needed more than "okay" to go to a movie this weekend.

That explains it.

I’m surprised the Steve Jobs movie is a flop. Where are all the Apple fanboys?
