See that sucks... the film may have doomed itself from the start because it is SOOO extremely violent. Maybe that's why it has struggled to get advertising??

The cost of advertising is usually balanced off by merchandise sold.
I really don't see any toys & figurines spinning off this movie.

If there are figurines i doubt they would be aimed at young kids but then again take a look at what was aimed at kids back in the 80's....Robocop, Rambo & Toxic Avenger.

Don't forget Preadator and Aliens. I had Ripley, Apone, Hudson, Hicks, Drake, Vasquez, a few Aliens, and the powerloader.

Dang, I wish I could buy those things now. I bet they'd sell pretty well if they re-released them.

But on another note: yeah, definitely go see Dredd. I'm even considering going again (it's only $2). Then again I might just save that $2 for the blu-ray..

They brought out all sorts of crazy xenomorph designs

Hahaha... most of those look awful. I'm interested in the classic Alien design. Not that James Cameron BS.. heh.

I would say better than the first...but at best an average action movie... Better off watching the raid... same plot but with much better action...

I was rather bored most of the time

Watched 'At The Movies' show last night

Margaret pomeranz gave it 3 and half

Dave gave it 1 & half.

Saw it tonight. It rocked. Girlfriend loved it too.

3.5 sounds about right. I tend to agree with Margaret.

Yeah, f*ckin' bummer about this flopping financially. 🙁

It still hasn't opened everywhere, though. Maybe Germany and Japan can save it.

I really wanted some sequels. ****.

Yeah unfortunately here in Australia, sessions were cut down to 3 a day after the 1st week of opening.

has it opened up in New Zealand?

would think they would save it since Karl Urban is also from there.

It wouldn't matter if it made lots of money there. The stipulation is that it had to make 50 mil in North America alone. I guess they already predicted the world wide sales.

So your saying based on one country alone (North America) depending how much money it makes it will get a sequel?

What's so special about North America?
The same box-office stipulation was made for John Carter getting a sequel.

idk. North American sales mean a lot to producers though, for whatever reason.
