And it's a damn pity. That movie rocks. If any entity ought to be punished for that movie's struggle at the box office, it's Summit, the distributor. It screwed up just about every film it handles, with the exception of "Twilight" - and how much business acumen do you need to make THAT a hit?<br /><br />Doesn't help that scumbags are offering illegal downloads of that film everywhere. Imagi's troubles are proof of how much that illegal practice hurts artists. Wish there were better ways of policing the web. But I don't suppose there's anything anybody can do about it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-3467413658206360202009-12-14T08:10:13.414-08:002009-12-14T08:10:13.414-08:00Another $200 million, and christmas carol will beg...Another $200 million, and christmas carol will begin to break even.
