I agree. The film really has a sweet heart bigger than merchandising. In fact, there really isn't much merchandise at all.I love it! That'd be sweet if it was at least #2 for this weekend as well!
The fact that a film continues to do this well weeks after release is largely due to repeat visits. That shows people like it enough to shell out dough for high ticket prices instead of waiting for Netflix or DVD purchase at bargain outlets. That's usually the cheapest way to go for families today.
I expected this picture to have a high initial box office and drop quickly. Seeing that it isn't getting another competitor this week (except for the currently acclaimed, but underperforming Waterhorse) expect it to remain in the top five for another week. Maybe two.
I’m just glad an enjoyable film is getting support. There’s much mediocre garbage out there, past and present, that makes far too much money (cough…cough, Happy Feet, Shrek the Third, Jim Carrey movies).
