Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Because I'm not that interested in this one, I checked out the trailer. I'm tired of slow motion action shots so much of this trailer, although cool looking, didn't win me over. Also, the final shot is hopefully there for a laugh because that's the reaction it's going to get.
I think this one has a tough road to make much money. It's got a tough premise to sell, will feel some backlash (unfairly) because of Cowboys and Aliens, and it's opening against Pixar's Brave and in the middle of Prometheus, GI Joe: Retaliation, and Spiderman. It's going to need to make its money opening weekend and it seems like a movie that would need word of mouth to make a profit. If I was the studio, I'd probably move it to the end of August or maybe out of the summer completely. Halloween or as a February release (for Presidents Day/Lincoln's Birthday) might have been a better option.
