I remember seeing this trailer and having the exact same first thought. This was definitely going to make hundreds of millions of dollars and spawn several sequels.
Then I didn't hear anything about it or see any commercials until like 4 days before it was supposed to open in theaters. I was super excited to take the kids, but figured opening weekend would be too busy, then the ex wife had them the next two weekends. So 3 weeks after it opened I finally took the kids. And it was already out of theaters.
Just saw it on TV tonight, and I have to say it might be the worst movie ever made.
