20 million opening weekend for a movie which cost 150 million to make. Ouch.

I'm not surprised. As soon as I saw the trailer I knew it was crap.

I dunno, I think I might netflix it. After all, I'm a big speed racer fan. Loved the show when I was a kid.

I may rent it just out of curiosity.

Current total: $37 million.
For those keeping score, that stupid Dempsey romantic comedy "Made of Honor" has made $38 million, and the Fey/Poehler comedy "Baby Mama" has made $53 million.

Maybe the Wachowskis should just make fluffy comedies instead?

might be a sign of the times. People need a good laugh these days. Afterall, who wants to watch a guy fly around in his superpowered gas guzzling sports car when most of us are driving a sub compact to work on 4.00 a gallon? depressing.

Well, Iron Man and Indy 4 have both blown past $200m...

And I'm sure that Iron Man suit guzzles a shitload of jet fuel too!
