No matter how bad the movie could have flopped they still have one truth on their
side. 5 months was long enough for people to spread the word that the movie sucked
before anyone had a chance to see it at the box office.
If they advertise good and get the movie opened at the theater, people will come
and it will take weeks for the word to get out that the movie sucks. But they will
have made that initial money and at least the critics would have seen the movie in the
venue it was produced for. A big screen movie is not the same experience as watching
on my lap top.
