Correction: For the record Mojo referred to DS as unimpressive.
Though they also say its box office thus far is "decent for a gothic horror comedy." And honestly I think that perception of the film has trumped everything else about it. Though as I said, even if it was straight up gothic horror, I don't know if that would have made more money. For example, I thought
The Woman in Black was wonderful. In fact, I bought the DVD last week on the day it came out, which just happened to coincide with the day I went to see the DS film again, and the more I watch it (I've watched it both by myself as well as with a group of friends) the more I (they) like it. But as great as I (we) think it is, the fact remains that it only brought in $54,333,290 in the US.
