What's the Deal with Mars Needs Moms?

[savraj1]

I heard that it was really dismal at the box office during opening weekend. Is the movie that bad? Or did it just get overshadowed by Battle: LA?
I mean I can hardly expect Battle LA to take away the primary consumers from MNM ie. young children, families, etc.

Also, did anyone actually enjoy it?

The title is pretty stupid, for one thing.

apparently an awful movie with an awful title and awful marketing.

i read an article that said it's on pace to be the biggest bust in history. $150M budget with ~$7M on opening weekend.

All of the ^ plus the fact that with the target audience being young children; the movie was doomed with the creepy plot of aliens abducting people. Btw "creepy" as in creepy to the target audience of children, not to the general public overall obvi.

sounds like a flick

It's a very bad movie in its own right. However with the target market if you're a parent and you have the choice between "Mars" and "Rango" you're going to take the kids to Rango

If it was Mars Needs MILFs I'd watch it.
