Wow, Tron fell right off the top ten. So much for rebooting old franchises. Only one in a million works - such as the Chipmunks.
The next one to NOT work: The Muppets.
I heard that Warners was hoping for around $100 million domestic for Yogi, and that it would project out to going into the black if it hit the $80 million mark in domestic box office. So while it didn't set the world on fire, I'm not sure it's as much a disappointment as you suspect.
Yogi was profitable just based on its production budget. I bet they do a sequel maybe dvd, but it made money.
If Yogi Bear was really that important a part of your childhood, then I feel sorry for you.
It's funny how people can feel their childhood diminished by something that happens now. Imagine if the Yogi Bear movie had been the greatest film ever made. Would that somehow make your childhood better than it was?
As an animation veteran once said to me:
"You get awful tired of watching that bear talk out of the side of his face."
