This is about the best news for any movie as I've ever seen. I personally don't care about this movie, whatsoever. Despite the heavy promotion on TV, the promotions in San Diego Comic Con, 2 years in a row, and the propaganda associated with it. This is a Disney movie, and one of few that I really would love to see fail, due to the release date next to another anticipated movie from my part, Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Since Disney dropped the series about 2 years ago, due to the lackluster performance of Prince Caspian. It wasn't so much that it was a crappy movie, or was it bad, just the release date was bad, since PC headed against Iron Man and Indiana Jones.....you can't expect facing a movie against 2 juggernauts like that. It's plain stupid releasing a movie around bigger movies like that.
According to the sources mentioned, there was a survey taken on how popular this might be, and needless to say, the response, was less than ok, in fact, it was crappy to say the least. The movie is expected to make at least 35 million, far less than the 50+ million that hoped for. Already, the expenditures for are over 200 million, and Disney was and is, hoping to make this a franchise. But as it turns out, the Magic touch is not on this movie. I hope it fails myself. Serves Disney right to get rid of a good family series, for something that didn't produce back in 1982. Bottom line......if the movie barely made its money back, don't expect to revive the cult-followed movie to be a gold mine.
