Dredd didn't open in too many theaters because it mostly showed in 3D theaters since it was shot in 3D. For a movie that got mostly positive reviews it should have did a lot better on its opening weekend.

So the Oogieloves tragic run at the domestic box office ended on the 20th of this month. Its total domestic gross is $1,065,907 on a $20 million dollar budget and things get even worse since apparently the movie also had a $40 million dollar marketing budget. I wonder where all that marketing money went to since I only saw two television adds for the movie on its opening week and none after that. It is now officially a legendary flop and the frontrunner for the biggest flop of the decade. It would have been nice if it would have made a little more money though since that would have led to nominations to a for a few razzies which it also deserves.

I'm pretty sure the people that backed this movie with a large finacial investment will stay anonymous forever it too much of an embarrasment to admit to back such a disaster.  Also since it had a $40 million dollar advertising bucket its actually a bigger bomb then Delgo.  No movie should have a advertising buget that is twice as big as the production buget unless its made on the cheap like with a production buget of less then $5 million dollar.

Suprisingly Delgo is available on Amazon on DVD and Blu-Ray and for rent (streaming) and download.

Must see movies fore the rest of 2012.

 - Looper.  Great reviews and the excitement is there.

-Taken 2.  My wife loved the first one so we are planning to see this one next week.

-Trouble with the curve - cheap tuesday date with my wife next week.  I try to watch every Clint movie.

-Cloud Atlas.   I love these weird somewhat meaningless meaningful movies.

-*****Wreck it Ralph.  Most anticipated movie for this family for the rest of the year.

-Twilight - Just Kidding.

- The Hobbit.  

two must see movies and 4 really good movies left

Well I think Flight, Skyfall, Life of Pi and Rise of the Guardians are big movies that haven't been mentioned yet and the all come out in November.

Looper only had a $30 million dollar budget so it will make money in no time.  Hotel Transylvania did better then I expected on its opening day also, most people seem to like it its at  a 7.1 on imdb.

According to the weekend estimates at box office mojo Hotel Transylvania made 43 million and Looper which came in second made $21.2 million I think both did better then expected. Also Ice Age 4 is now the highest grossing animated movie overseas with $690.8 million and it will make at least another $30 million overseas by the time it stops it box office run. 20th Century Fox will make even more money on animated features in the future since it has a five year deal with Dreamworks Animation to distribute their movies which starts next year.

I am thinking about watching Hotel Transilvania

Hotel Transylvania actually had the biggest opening for a movie in September. Also Won't Back Down kinda bombed. The Expendables 2 already made more then the first one since it made $201.5 million dollars overseas so far.
