Disney did a poor job of marketing the film, stop-motion animation never succeeds at the box office, it was a black and white kids film, and it should have been pushed back a couple of weeks instead of following Hotel Transylvania. <br /><br />While maybe not the same quality as Frankenweenie, it wasn't surprising to see how poorly Frankenweenie did after how well Hotel Transylvania opened up.

It's a really charming movie. A hell of a lot better than Hotel Transylvania. alienxphilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629480675440674675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3230980845116084488.post-82201472255319991912012-10-11T21:23:17.008-07:002012-10-11T21:23:17.008-07:00Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it is.
...Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it is. <br /><br />It can make you feel like you've done an incredibly shitty job, but then you realize that no one's perfect. <br /><br />Try setting a goal for yourself in the beginning of the year of trying to stay under $1B total..if you do it, then knock a few $100M off the total.

Starting in January, I'll keep a running total each week for everyone to see. Hopefully you and others will want to play along.
