I've seen nothing but meh-ok reviews so far, and the box office returns shows that if it was a good/great movie...it should be doing much better.
I'll redbox this one.

I am not sure you could ever capture the style as to how those book were written, with that in mind we may never see another adaptation of any of Burroughs sci fi books in the future.

The reviews might be telling but in this day and age I think a lot of people are more likely to stay at home to watch movies on their giant TV's with surround sound and home comfort for less money. It must be affecting ticket sales by now. I know I am WAY more picky about what I go out to watch... usually 1 movie every 2-3 years or so.
I'm thinking eventually the theaters will go the same way as the drive-ins.

I go to those type of movies and pay the extra to watch them in 3D, but even the 3D effects were not up to par.
Bad choice in main actor too.

Thats what you get for spending $300 million on a movie. Unless it's avatar and you're also introducing a new filming technology.

I'll still watch Carter... on Demand when there's no extra charge. HBO will get it eventually, or Netflix.

I read the books and, while the movie is nothing like the books, it was still a good movie. I would go see it again and plan on buying it when it hits DVD.

Between bedbug scares, getting raped at concession stands and possible loud people to ruin the movie, I'm not surprised to see more people watching it from home. Not just this movie, I bet this will be a trend in general.

We brought a bed bug home from a theatre once. True story.
After coming home from the movie, we went to sleep. Woke up, my neck was mangled.
Pest control friend sees my neck, says it could be a bed bug. We flip the mattress and there's a big 'ole bed bug.

I'd slightly consider downloading it, but they are probably gonna be looking hard for someone to sue to make up lost revenue.

I saw it, and thought it was pretty excellent, to be honest.
It's a quality action/adventure/scifi film. I was pretty happy to spend the money to go see it, when I left, which is a good sign for me.

From what I understand, Disney realized it was going to be a flop after they started shooting it, but they had so much invested in it, that they just carried on...
I reckon they don't care by the time it was released.

I saw it on a Monday afternoon. Theater was pretty empty. It was ok, there was a lot of action, but it was just ok. Probably would have netflixed it, but my sister wanted me to go.

Same here, I used to go to tons of movies now I don't even care to. I watched the last two HP movies in IMAX and I can't even remember what other movies I went and saw in the theater.
