that didnt help it though - its not a holiday/family movie

It was released during a period where many people had a relatively significant number of days off. The holiday season benefits nearly all movies.

But apparently people would rather spend their money on the Chipmunks

LMAO! And it stars an A-list celeb (Daniel Craig) as well.

It's not doing bad, just not smashing like I thought it would.

It's a fantastic movie though.

Your point? That The Tourist had great longevity?

Your other point? Avatar and Titanic are the #1 and #2 highest grossing movies of all time, and both were longer than Dragon Tattoo

Both Wanted and Salt weren't as hyped as Dragon Tattoo And it's not like Angie needs to have even higher grosses because she's already the most iconic and relevant actress in the industry right now

[Nicole]

I believe the only Angelina movie not outgrossed by the first 2 Chipmunks movies is Mr & Mrs Smith

[Rock That Beat...]

I'm not really surprised. It's not just a movie you would see. It's very cruel, the rape scenes and just everything that is happening in the movie. I've seen all three Swedish movies and they were so shocking, still perfect but still shocking. I think this version is not that shocking and violent as the Swedish ones, if not I can totally understand why it's not doing that well. Americans censor everything, cuss words, sexual **** and stuff that this movie may be too shocking for some Americans. But I know I'll definitely see this version, I want to see what they did with the movie, if it's totally the same or not.

[ThePatrickk]

This is so ridiculous
Best movie I saw in 2011 by far.
People who read the books need to go see this

[Dancefloor]

Jolie's Lips, you sound so bitter. Did Rooney Mara beat Angelina to the role? I don't think so. So why are you so mad? David Fincher >>> Angelina Jolie. DEAL.

[Sapphire]

I will say
it's not

it's still creating a buzz esp for this awards season

[Celestial]

It's not good at all compared to the book. I'm not fond of any of the castings. Rooney over acted. I don't like her.

Black Swan is considerably "dark" too.

You can't compare the subject matter in this movie with Black Swan.

I'm disappointed that it's not doing so well, I absolutely loved it. I even went to watch it again with other friends.

[MonstahNL]

I finished the book just now. Cannot wait to catch it in theaters.

[DoctorIce]

It was far and away the best film of 2011, and probably the best film since Fincher's last, The Social Network.

It's performing modestly, "bombing" is a big overstatement, especially for the kind of film it is

[Monroe]

Why are people comparing Alvin and The Chipmunks to The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo? On average family/children films tend to gross more then any other film genre, outside of maybe action films.

[arkl]

It will do great in the long run eventually. It's not starting to take off yet. Slumdog Millionaire blew up after the Oscars, I think.

[LexiDiamandis]

Its only 30 million away from its budget so far.

Idk if the 60 million takes WW into account?

But if not, it will do fine and if it gets some oscars/hype during award season it will continue to do well

[DejaVu]

I don't remember any promo for this.
