The "Shrek" franchise showed that it still held a lot of enthusiasm with
the U.S. moviegoing public by becoming the second movie this year to have a
$100M+ opening weekend. In fact, "Shrek the Third" surpassed the opening
weekend of "Shrek 2". Movie reviews at
rottentomatoes.com, though, were
especially dismissive. "Shrek the Third" scored only 42%%, comparable to
"Chicken Little", and lower than "Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
This weekend "Paprika" opens, but only in New York, I think. I have no
idea what the distribution plan is for this movie. :-(
