Warner Bros. seems to believe that there is a justifiable reason to upgrade this one from a straight-to-DVD release. However, Bell's lack of success as a leading lady (see When in Rome and You Again) and the fact that the show's following was small at best makes this decision a puzzling one.

The only advantage of such a release is that it was a cheap film to produce (the budget is a reported $5.7 million) but even then, prints and advertising (which will likely cost $15-20 million) will eat up any sort of profit. Facing three other films (and with Warner Bros. fully concentrating on 300: Rise of a Empire), I expect a gross below $10 million.
Everything on this post is strictly the opinion and only the opinion of Buscemi.

Yeah I don't see it as a BO winner. It has a niche potential audience. I would still say above 10 million, but not far beyond 15 or 20 million.

I think it's been two days, so I'll drop Walk of Shame and pick up Oculus.

Well it seems about time to drop "A walk among the tombstones" since it obviously won't be released this spring.
I don't have much to sink my teeth into, but I'll take "The Quiet Ones" for now.

I'll drop Earth to Echo for Walk of Shame, not that anything's going to stop me from my second last-place finish in three years now.

Go get 'em, birthday girl!

i still have two films with no release dates, so id like to drop those for....... slim pickings left huh?...... i'll take Nympho part 1, hoping the controversy will bring in some cash, and Only Lovers left Alive, though it doesnt look like a traditional horror, so it might not help anything.

Fucking hell. I have to drop Walk of Shame, and I guess I'll pick up Island of Lemurs: Madagascar in IMAX.

Empire, did you ever replace Stretch?
