"Snakes" #1

As I predicted, "Snakes on a Plane" is the #1 movie in America. Estimated ticket sales are at $15 million which is a little less than what I expected and even more unbelievable New Line Cinema actually thought it could have taken in at least $30 million! Even with their new internet marketing campaign there was no way "Snakes" was opening at $30 million. The movie was horrible to begin with, I don't care how much you hype it up. They should be satisfied with the outcome and pray they make their money back (which they should, seeing they only spent $30 million to make it).

But Hollywood felt that since "Snakes" did poorly, internet marketing is not the way to go. How do you judge that based on the worst movie of the year; a movie so bad some say the trailer and movie ads were more enjoyable than the movie. Internet marketing is the future of the industry, especially with sites like MySpace and NellyNandes.com (gotta plug my own site, lol). "Snakes" didn't fail because the internet marketing model is flawed, "Snakes" failed because, well, the movie is flawed! "Snakes" was a movie that was going to make the majority of it's money the first weekend, the drop significantly thereafter.

I'm not going to watch this movie and probably won't buy it when it comes out on DVD. But, if you have a bootleg hook it up, haha.
