we, the internet, are not the majority. The majority know little to nothing about this movie, or what it's about. "What's that movie about?" doesn't draw the curious viewer like people think. Also, it's done in the same technical style as Sky Captain, and that movie didn't do shit at the box office and had leads that were more bankable than the people in this. Hell, Sky Captain had leads, period. Joe Movie-Goer doesn't even know who the main character of the movie is.
Plus, there's still the competition. This is opening the same week as Beautey Shop. It's a black comedy, and has Queen Latifah as the lead. That'll get it a #1 spot for at least one week. Don't forget, fucking Diary of a Mad Black Woman got #1 for that long. The next week, Sahara and Fever Pitch come out. Fever Pitch is a Romantic Comedy With Popular Leads, and Sahara is basically National Treasure with different actors, both will probably do well, and any major traffic Sin City gets it'll get in the first week, maybe some early in the second, and Amittyville Horror comes out the 15th. By the time the 22nd rolls around and there isn't shit coming out, Sin City's chances of even hitting #1 are gone. And in May, before the 20th, there's a Ridley Scott epic, House of Wax, and a Jet-Li movie coming out. The 20th, Star Wars.
too bad Sin City won't do shit at the box office
