I think it's an extremely hard call. If the film had been done as a straight up supernatural romance, it may have appealed to DS fans and people who remember the show, but in the general audience many may have looked at it as the same old same old - or worse yet, some rip-off of Twilight - and stayed away in droves because they have no interest in another Twilight or in seeing something they believe ripped that film off (even though DS preceded Twilight by decades). Radically changing things up may actually work to the film's advantage because it may attract people who generally have no interest in supernatural films because they believe they're going to get something different (and there's no disputing that the non-supernatural portion of any potential audience is much larger than the supernatural portion of it is). And it may attract people who are aware of DS as a supernatural soap and are curious to see what Depp/Burton's Gothic sensibility and quirkiness will do with it.
It is nice to see, though, that the box office forecasts are encouraging...
4 days 8 hours 5 minutes 57 seconds until the day the Depp/Burton Dark Shadows is released(ET)!!
