Dawn Treader flops.....in the US market

Story by:  Léon DeGrelle


But at least made over 100 million in the foreign markets.  This is what happens, when your typical, uneducated people, don't bother to look beyond just one book, whose fame, was astronomical.  But, anything after "The Lion, The Witch, and Wardrobe" and the typical person has no notion, nor a clue, that it was written by the same author, CS Lewis.  This really is a disappointment, in the fan show up, or lack there of.  The books are great, this movie surpassed Prince Caspian, and it had your adventure, your fun, and excitement all rolled into one.  It made up with good acting, and excellent FX.....despite the much smaller budget.  What is sad, is that movies with hardly a plot, a bimbo, and/or robots, use recycled/stolen ideas from past series/movies/ideas, make a giant cluster fuck of them, and people all of a sudden are interested.  Seems, that anything too complex, nowadays, that require a little thought process, is too complicated for anyone to understand.  Amidst this sort of social chaos and degradation, there are  a few fans willing to support a well made movie.
If any Hollywood agent, producer or director, by the most minuscule of chance reads this....word of advice:  Simple minds, simple pleasures.  If it's too complex, they won't understand.

Narnia underperforms.......$8 Million on Friday

Unfortunately, as early as this may be from the final Box Office total, 8 million dollars for something like this, can be construed as a failure.....a BOMB!!!  20th Century Fox, has always depended on the word of mouth method, more-so than the excessive propaganda and expositions of other companies.  But it seems that people, figured that with the failure of Prince Caspian, that this movie is just added filler and even less of a movie than Caspian was.  Nothing can be further from the truth.  Voyage of the Dawn Treader, was action packed, and actually considered better than Caspian was, even with all that huge budget, that Disney shelled out.  But the unfortunate effect, is that Sheeple (sheep and people mixed together)go with the flow of what's supposed to be cool and popular, and not take their children and themselves, over to see a well made movie.  Only of a few well made movies this year.  Just because something is not as advertised like others, doesn't make it much less, in fact, it's those little surprised that get you, and get you back for more.  I will give a few examples of movies that looked like bombs, but were major hits:  Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Planet of the Apes....to name a few.  After dismal opening weeks, their later weeks, proved they were winners.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader opens this Friday

As we all know......20th Century Fox has taken the reigns for this movie since February of 2009.  And this coming week, will either make this movie a success or an epic failure.  Thus far, the reviews have been pretty much positive.  So It's believed that this movie will definitely be #1 in this coming week for the Box Office.  Let's hope and pray, that this isn't the end of the road for this movie, as this could be, another franchise in the making.  Rumor has it, that this is the end of the road for this series, and that there wouldn't be anymore, despite the movie, mentioning possible spoiler for the next movie, in case there is a next time.  Hopefully, this will become a huge success, since the monetary budget was less than the Disney/Walden Media backed companies shelled out for Prince Caspian.  Despite my doubts, I do believe that there will be another next time, minus the last two Pevensie children, but will continue on with their cousin,Eustace.  We can all hope for the best in this.
