"Clone Wars" opened to a mild per theater average. That's about all it
could've hoped for, as it's pretty much just a TV show pilot used as a big
screen commercial. I expect the film to tumble in the coming weeks,
especially after seeing the critical reception.

Gee, even the Ewoks movies have better ratings if you beleive RT. :-D

"Fly Me to the Moon" opened with just about the same PTA. But this is a
3D movie, which the few commercials make such a big deal about. That means
that its tickets are more expensive, and so its boxoffice looks less
impressive. And Rotten Tomatoes also shows that FMttM shares something else
with "Clone Wars". :-)

Wow, "Space Chimps" doesn't seem so bad now. :-)

In other news, "Wall-E" finally edged pass "Kung Fu Panda".
