Delgo: The Horror Continues.
When “Delgo," an animated movie about a boy’s love for a princess from a rival race, hit theaters last weekend, it shattered records — but not the kind its director had hoped. “Delgo" is the worst-performing film in recent history to open in wide release."I’m befuddled," says Marc Adler, who wrote, directed and produced the movie, his first major foray into the business.
…
The rising amount of money poured into movie marketing appears to have swamped “Delgo." Independent labels at the major studios spent an average of $25.7 million marketing a film last year, up 44% from 2006 and more than double what was spent in 2002, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. That has far outpaced the 44% growth in production costs from 2002 through last year. In response to the recession, studios have cut the number of films they release but haven’t cut back significantly on marketing costs per film.
The overall marketing budget for “Delgo" has been estimated at less than $20 million — not even close to what is spent to market similar animated feature films like Walt Disney Co.’s “Bolt" and DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa."

Flim critics are a dying breed, since they’re either stuck online, being laid off from print publications or going off to Grad School. Dave Hudson himself gathers the tales of woe—this is clearly not the time to be a Journalist, but a perfect time to start digging ditches and hoping for New Deals.
But before all that comes to pass, have a listen to this impromptu podcast we recorded in early December featuring Variety associate editor Peter Debruge, who wrote up the whole “OMG NYC HAS BLOG WRITER" trend last week and quotes most of the people he met with. Of course, it’s also important to mention Peter’s invite was forwarded to a good number of us—I got mine through a third party. Don’t fret, I’m still not a real critic dear listeners.

In the great line of fictional doctors, I would consult with Dr. Shark before Dr. House, Dr. Acula or Dr. Giggles.
Because how utterly awesome would it be to have a shark doctor.
A film poster sited at Stockwell Tube station during the Jean Charles de Menezes inquest could have caused serious offence, a regulator has ruled.
The poster for Righteous Kill was displayed at the station where Mr de Menezes, 27, was shot dead after being mistaken for a suicide bomber.
Its tagline read: “There’s nothing wrong with a little shooting as long as the right people get shot."
