Weekend Box Office Results for March 9-11, 2012 - Box Office Mojo

Granted, the estimated budget for the film was $250 mil, but it just got released. Hopefully, word of mouth will drive up ticket sales, since it is apparently a good movie (some have said better than Avatar).

Avatar, while it had a cliche premise, was a much more epic movie. The visuals from John Carter can't compete.

Both were good movies but Carter was more original.

Avatar's toyline did bad because the toys were bad. Same thing with Star Trek, movie was phenomenal but the toys were disappointing. Cheap and underwhelming, hyped for their iTags which really, no one was going to use. Neat but come on, if that's where the budget went, that was a mistake.

Prior to Carter I had only watched 1 trailer that randomly came on TV. Definitely could've used more promotion.
