Probably second tier budget cinemas. But consider this... the movie was released about 3 weeks ago. For a film to disappear THAT fast, that is a feat in and of itself. Most films, even flops, at least get a full month in theaters.

Elmo in Grouchland was down to around 200 in its final weekends. So yeah, it is amazing.
I'm wondering...
Were the stupid little plastic wands part of the budget? That would explain a lot. I couldn't imagine how much they cost to make, but I'm sure en masse they cost more than the actual film did.
And now they're going to end up in landfills like E.T. game carts... good going Genius God of Marketing.

What's also crazy is that Viselman wants to make sequels, even after the pathetic box office returns! Hopefully he'll wise up and let them rot in direct-to-video Hades as he should have done with the first movie.
Like you said before, most of the budget must have also went to bribing theaters to show it.Drtooth said:
The sad thing is, as I said earlier, it probably would have found more of an audience as a DTV than it did as a film. I'm pretty sure that NO theater chain will even touch another Oogieloves movie no matter how much they bribe them.

I haven't heard about wands. Were they giveaways for the kids?
They were mentioned in the video review mr3urious posted a few pages ago. One of the reviewers got so mad at the movie, he snapped it in half and spread glow in the dark goo everywhere.

Wow. I missed that.
BTW, the soundtrack is now available for download on Amazon! Listen to the samples! Gee, now I regret not seeing this in a theater!
I actually found a positive, even gushy review of the film. It's amusing what lengths the theater went to to put the kids in the right frame of mind to see the film. It involves clowns, toys, and massive amounts of sugar. However, for a premiere party, it sure was sparsely attended, to judge from the photos.

Yeah, I'm borderline diabetic... that pushed me over to dangerous territory. Especially the pink icing she had for a font. Hurt my eyes and I barely could read the darn thing. Seems the kids loved it because they were bribed. It would take a truck full of vintage M.U.S.C.L.E.S. with the rare black hole Sunshine in the assortment to get me to even consider seeing that toxic waste.
