It kicked some 'Daddy'-butt! ... Word of mouth has been really good. It seems to have been a very good date to go on this picture, wedged between these monsters. It's terrific counter programming. We had an extensive screening program and people liked the picture. It's excellent family fare.

It's just one of those edge-of-your-seat-type stories that totally captures people's imaginations.

It's kind of a guilty-pleasure movie. It's a lot of fun, and I don't know if the audience would pay attention to what critics might say.

It's probably one of those things where people feel they know the story so well, and to try to get them to come see it again, possibly in a new way, is not the easiest task, ... Oliver Twist.
amount audience certainly female hang hold male million number percent pleased sixth
It's our sixth number one film of the year. It was 54 percent male and 46 percent female. We were really pleased with the amount of female audience we got. I think it's going to hang in there and hold up really well. I would certainly think we'll be over $100 million with that start.
