Well...Snakes on a Plane did lousy business its opening weekend. But is that any surprise? Sure, it had a great internet campaign. Yeah, it was cool that Jackson would leave voice mail messages for people. And the title rocked. But what studio heads can't seem to understand is that if the movie blows, no matter how fucking badass the actors in it, nobody wants to see it. And the studio had to know the movie was a stinker--they didn't even let critics advance screen it.
Everyone I know said the same thing about Snakes on a Plane, "I'm thinking about going to see the movie, but it's probably going to stink, so I should get drunk first." Maybe one day the studios will learn...but my guess is not that soon.

The thing is, this movie actually got very good reviews - so it's not that it was bad. The thing only cost $30 million to make - so it will cover it's cost easily.
I bet it does well on DVD - I can't wait to see it at home.
