Well, at least the take was 20.8 million, for yesterdays take. But 21 million is still an underperformer and pales to 2 of its predecessors. Seems the 3rd one was somewhat of a disappointment. No matter, at least there is claim that this is it for Shrek, after 5 movies, and 9 years in the making. Actually longer, since it does take a few years to piece together animation, effects, and voices and putting them together. Still, there is some hop for this movie....with merchandising, DVD sales, and other promos. Hopefully, it can make some money back, despite it being surrounded by, Iron Man2, Robin Hood, and the upcoming Sex and the City sequel and Prince of Persia this week. This kinda reminds me of the summer clash of 2008, in which a kids movie (Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), was released amidst huge May blocknusters that year, heading up against Iron Man, Indiana Jones, and Sex and the City, in which a kids movie, was blasted away from the other Hollywood big budget movies. In most cases, there is no hope for any type of kids movie, when it comes to facing an unstoppable behemoth, or in this case 3 behemoths. History.......has a way of repeating itself.
