Weekend Box Office :::: May 9-11 2008 (IRON MAN REIGNS SUPREME)

I was over at the Invisible-Cinema, and The Invisible Woman posted the numbers for this past weekend box office. Something of the norm, however it was the comments that inspired my thoughts on this past weekend and American Cinema overall. I am beginning to see a pattern in movies that is far different that of the past.

So here is what I had to say in response to some of the comments:


As far as this past weekend in film, I have much to say, but will keep it short. With two possibilities.

American film audiences are becoming smarter, and are realizing that they will own or purchase the movie if it is of suitable home viewing. They have become complacent in the home video market and spend more time now creating there in home theater systems.

Or

Speed racer sucks so much that it does not matter what it does oversees, it is a piece of garbage hyped up and over worked. Of course they are going to be happy to see the live action version in its native creative atmosphere, but here in the US we require darker not these bright colors. Americans do not like colorized action, we prefer the dark near dramatic variety.

Just an opinion.

I would like to get more feedback and I will fill in the blanks as I keep in eye on Invisible Cinema on this one.
