Status : Offline | I think some movies also flop because of a lousy marketing campaign. I've seen a trailer for Solaris that tried to sell it as a big science fiction movie, while it's actually a gripping drama. Same goes for Fight Club which was being marketed as being a brainless action movie, but actually was an intruiging mix of genres (action, drama, black comedy, ...).
And I agree with Petter. Hollywood should start to realize that special effects are supposed to support the story, not the other way around (Matrix Reloaded indeed being the best most recent example, but Star Wars Ep. 1 & 2 suffer from the same problem).
Movie Theater tickets cost around 8$ here, but it used to be a lot cheaper a few years ago (before one big movie complex company took over ). I don't visit the theater that much anymore, mostly wait for the dvd release.
