Land of the Lost Declared "First Bomb of Summer"
Land of the Lost debuted with an estimated $7 million Friday, prompting the box-office-tracking Exhibitor Relations to pronounce the $100 million Will Ferrell extravaganza "the first bomb of summer."
Quote:
The new guy comedy The Hangover and the Pixar holdover Up stayed well clear of the wreckage, with each angling for a big $45 million weekend, Exhibitor Relations said. The Hangover was Friday's No. 1 movie, grossing an estimated $16.5 million.
A Ferrell-esque $30 million opening had been expected of Land of the Lost, the redo of the dinosaur-driven 1970s kids' series.
Had been.

...and this is a surprise to who?
Anyone who watched it as a kid, knew it was a corny series, yet, it was fun to watch. Based on the trailers I've seen, they made this another "it's all about what Will can do to liven it up" movie, and in this case it failed.

Yeah, it looked pretty dumb in the previews. I love Will Ferrell but he doesn't always deliver.
On a brighter note, I saw The Hangover last night, very very funny, two thumbs up. :borat:
