$170 million in revenue and not a soul has paid to see it yet.

Kind of hard for Hollywood to continue claiming the moral high ground on anti-piracy when it's basically putting ads into its movies, taking fewer & fewer risks, and essentially reaping nothing but profit while theaters continue to jack up prices as high as $20/ticket. Even if the movie turns out to be the worst film ever made ... it will still make 100's of millions$ profit before anyone even gets a chance to find out if its worth it.

A buddy of mine went and saw it at Fort Drum and said he was very let down, wasn't impressed at all.
