Only 25 Million? Ouch... That's pretty underwhelming for a BIG summer action movie. Though, I agree about Kitsch. Maybe 'Savages' will shine a better light for him.

Well - you were half right on the total. Battleship made just a bit over $25 million. Maybe Taylor Kitsch is just cursed? Actually, he wasn't bad at all (not in John Carter, either) - I feel bad for the guy - neither movie has really been his fault. Here's hoping the upcoming Savages turns out a bit better for him.The film itself actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting (I'll have my review up Monday). Nothing to write home about, but solid entertainment - much better than a film about aliens invading Hawaii that's based on a board game sound like. I'll see The Avengers for a second time this week as well - and believe me, I am quite looking forward to it.

I just can't find any interest in Battleship. I don't seem to have a want to watch any film this month besides Avengers (which I've seen twice now). I think Avengers will stay at the top of the box-office for a third week and go on to break more money making records. Though, I bet Battleship makes it past 50 Million by Sunday.

I myself expected more from Dark Shadows - I don't know, the look of the film and characters was good, but if they were going for humor, they failed as I can count only a few times I really thought the jokes worked. It wasn't terrible, but I found it a bit bland.Seeing Battleship tomorrow - I still have my reservations, but I'll try to have as much fun as possible.

I may be wrong about this one, but I really don't think Battleship will do well outside of teenagers. I think you are right about this being on the same level as Transformers. I just might see The Avengers again this coming weekend. The second time might be even better on the IMAX screen. I saw Dark Shadows this past weekend. It was not too bad. Only the last 30 minutes of the movie fell flat.

Does anyone think this has a chance of topping The Avengers this weekend? I'm going, but I still think it will be worse than Transformers. Despite the names involved, I don't think it will be able to top the super heroes at the box office.

It would be great if Hollywood would get off the alien bandwagon. Must every movie have aliens in it? So predictable and boring at this point, even when the whole U.S. military fleet is in on the action. Is Liam Neeson taking career lessons from Nicolas Cage? I honestly thought he was in a higher class, but after Battleship and Clash of the Titans, I might have to reconcider.
