Also, Hasbro/Paramount said this movie is geared for the young un's with the action. Bandslam is due out the following week and it follows hot on the trails of High School Musical, Camp Rock and Jonas Bros. Most kids will be wanting to see this.
Also, the previous week of movies as well as school starting will also conflict with the ticket sales.
there has been so much flak going on with the Sommers rumor, that if true, and Paramount could hurt financially with it.
The only people talking good about it in the professional dept are the writers, directors and investors. Where's the outside positives?
BandSlam... OK, sure....
As far as the "popcorn flick" being a cliche... doesn't change what it is whether you like the term or not.
Outside positives? I've only read one post from someone that says they saw a test screening and that they liked it. (but I consider that about as valid as all the 'insiders' that say it's a mess... I'll wait for the critics to have their say before I believe there will be a TRUE outside perspective)
