Well, so much for this being the biggest animated flop of the year:

"Arthur and the Invisibles" opened in TENTH PLACE! Ouch.

Well, that's what they get for continuing to put Snoop Dogg in kids movies.

Arthur's gross HURTS.

Taken from the comingsoon.net box office report:

Luc Besson's half-animated family film Arthur and the Invisibles, starring Freddie Highmore and which cost a rumored $86 million to make, had a tough week. First, it was ousted for consideration as an animated feature by the Academy and then it only grossed a weak $4.3 million over the three-day weekend. That's even worse than last week's showing by Lionsgate's computer-animated family film Happily N'Ever After, which took a tumble right out of the Top 10 despite the normally kid-friendly holiday weekend. The latter wound up with $3.2 million for a total gross of $10.8 million.

Yow. I'm not surprised -- it looked kinda cheesey anyway. And I know I probably shouldn't be biased...concerning the fact that I haven't even seen it, but even the previews didn't make it look admirable.

So Happily N'Ever After was better? (snigger)

Back on track:

The <I>Happily</I> DVD is out tomorrow...anyone going to be brave?

Yes, me!

But seriously, I am going to be renting Happily sometime this week, so I'll let everyone know what I think.

Though, from what I've seen so far, it looks horrible! But who knows, maybe it will surprise me.
