As I said before, spending a lot of money to promote a film does not mean it will go over well at the box office. It doesn't even mean that they expect it to go over well. Although indications are that they expected some of the movies last year to perform a LOT better than they did.
The only saving grace G.I.J.O.E. has for its opening weekend is the fact that no other movies are opening against it. This means it may get to enjoy a weekend or two as #1 or #2 before it fades to its eventual DVD release. I bet if one of the studios got a wild hair up its butt to release a chick flick that weekend then we'd have to write this movie off as one that should have been a direct to DVD release.
Your point is valid and I agree that movie companies make bad decisions all the time (case and point, those you mentioned). One question I have for you though, do you really think it's still G.I.J.O.E.? I just want to make sure you're writing from a current understanding of what we actually know about the Joe film. I wonder how many (particularly newer) Tankers have a complete understanding of the things that have been confirmed and dispelled since the original concepts of the movie where thrown about more than a year ago.
