It flopped more because of the concept - it was originally released as grindhouse - which was a double bill with rodriguez's planet terror with fake trailers between the two films.
I think people were a little worried, thinking that it was gonna be about five hours long (it wasn't) so didn't bother going.
The rest of the world is now getting the films as separate entities with the possibility of a grindhouse dvd and special cinema screenings of the original film.
It's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing grindhouse. Hopefully I'll get a chance at Leeds film festival in November.

it wasn't 5 hours long? it sure felt like it.
i saw grindhouse in the theatre and i think i liked the concept more than anything else. both 'features' were okay, but i wouldn't have paid full price to see either. well, maybe tarantino because it's tarantino, but...
The trailers are just pretty damn funny.
a few of the guys i work with have seen superbad and they liked it.

Scratch, my Heroes boxset still hasn't arrived. I emailed Play and they still haven't gotten back to me yet. F*ckin clowns!

Bad luck.
New season starts here next week and I can't wait.
Anyone in the UK happen to watch Spooks (aka MI-5 in North America)?

I went to the flicks yesterday & saw it, was OK, but the biggest let down was the N*ke River run, & the N*ke product placement!!
Had it been sponsored by a brand with 3 stripes, my opinion may have been slightly improved!
I was impressed by the trailer for the new Will Smith film, "I am legend" I think it was called, might be worth a look.
Oh & "Ratatouille" is OK, if you like light hearted humerous films, out at the Cinema in the UK next month, however available from all "knock off Nigels"
for a couple of months now.
