I really liked it. The success of CC will depend on it's legs. It should have pretty good ones, because the crowd I saw it with last night seemed to really enjoy it.

No way - it's a Christmas movie. It'll drop to about $25m next week and then stay there for the next 8 weeks. Then they'll release the DVD next year and it'll sell like crazy.

Don't count it out, never underestimate the christmas fever. while i doubt the movie will make any real money, i can see it making it to the 200 million mark by the new year.

He put the budgets of all the movies at the end. He wasn't stating anything about Christmas Carol. Learn to read.

Anyone else get a sickening 'uncanny valley' feeling from A Christmas Carol?
