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.

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)

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.
