If I'm getting the statistic right, it had the lowest take for any movie ever that opened on 1000 screens or more. The good news is that Transylmania bombed.

We seriously don't need more movies like Transylmania and Scary Movie 55. Most of these are good, but God help Americans.

I really want to see it because I loved "Thank You For Smoking" but I was not a huge fan of "Juno"... “Up In the Air” is already blowing toward the Oscars for Best Actor and possibly for Best Picture and Screenplay.

Depending on where you live, you may be able to see it soon. It opens in limited release earlier in December, then goes into wide release Christmas Day. The others I'm most looking forward to are Princess and the Frog and, yes, Sherlock Holmes. @Nir: I'm not excited about Avatar. This is the dramatist who brought us Titanic after all, not to mention he alienated me years ago with his technology obsession. But I am hopeful that I will like it. I do actually enjoy effects for their own sake, though I'd prefer they be part of a good total package. @cc: I’m really looking forward to Up in the Air as well.

That's right, it's the none-existence material from the movie "The Core" and other internet-related jokes. And 2) James Cameron is proud to present exo-sekeltal suits that the human wear. Really? We didn't see them in "The Matrix Revolutions" and in James Cameron's own "Aliens"? I think he might have a slight memory problem but like the masses I will probably pay money to see it and never watch it again. :O) Two funny things about Avatar: 1)the main Earth miltary is mining the planet of Pandora for Unobtanium.

Just the rumor has doubled my (very low) expectations for the movie. I saw somewhere that Wes Studi will be in Avatar so I actually watched the trailer hoping to confirm it.
