Took my son and three friends to see this today. They are all familiar with the original and I have to say it wasn't awful. They kept pretty close to the original storyline with North Korea instead of Russia as the bad guys. It was wonderfully average. As one of my son's friends said, if you hadn't seen the original, this would have been a good movie. More explosions than the original!

$22 million over the Thanksgiving weekend. S.D. was right, this was a turkey.

The competition was too much up against Twilight and James Bond. You also had 2 family films that opened this weekend (Life Of Pi and Rise Of The Guardians).

Weekend box office:

1 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 $43,070,000
2 Skyfall $36,000,000
3 Lincoln $25,020,000
4 Rise of the Guardians $24,025,000
5 Life of Pi $22,000,000
6 Wreck-It Ralph $16,760,000
7 Red Dawn (2012) $14,600,000
8 Flight Par. $8,600,000
9 Silver Linings Playbook $4,623,000
10 Argo WB $3,875,000

Skyfall looks like it might be the first James Bond film to crack $300 million at the box office.

The new "franchise" of Bond has been very entertaining. (IMHDO)

I had a feeling this flick was gonna get crushed like a bug. There was too much competition.

...soooo, that probably means it'll be out on DVD by New Year's. Cool. Very Happy

With all the saber-rattling that North Korea has been doing lately, maybe the producers of "Red Dawn" should've held off on releasing it till this Spring, it would've been more timely!!

I wouldn't know, I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting for my monthly "free rental" code from RedBox. Very Happy

I really dug this film and did prefer over the original slightly.

I still need to get this, I almost did but some how the fiancee talked me out of it and into getting the Hobbit instead surprised

Yeah, I was never a fan of the LOTR series, though my mom is, but even she couldn't muster much enthusiasm for The Hobbit. Looks like Jackson's golden streak as a director is waning.

Sensible lady. Whilst The Hobbit has its flaws (that fact it's a trilogy is a big 'un!), it's still superior to this.

That's debatable.

I got this movie at RED Box last weekend...not to bad

Got this flick from RedBox tonight... it was OK.

I gotta give Josh Peck props, after seeing him on the kiddy sitcom "Drake & Josh" on Nickelodeon I couldn't picture him as a rough and tumble action movie kinda guy, but he pulled it off nicely.

Aside from that it was pretty much what I expected to see... lotsa stuff blowin' up.
