No one outside of Clone High fans could look at that and not think it sounded like anything other then biggest piece of shit in the world. The trailers were all pretty bad. Everyone was surprised that it turned out as well as it did, the exceptions were about on par with that live-action Battleship movie.
It's a good movie, but impossible to sell well and without the expectation of making that much money.
The few good dump month movies are real weird. Also see The Grey which is a 2-hour philosophical rumination of death, religion and masculinity dressed up as a Liam Neeson action picture.
