America Meets the Corpses
Maybe it was for the best that Jodie Foster didn't marry a dead man in Touchstone Pictures' "Flightplan," released this past weekend, because with a $24.6 million optning take, it did marginally better than " The Corpse Bride," which made about $4 million less. (Full numbers here.) The IMDB page for "Corpse Bride" however, is our no. 5 top link today, and "Flightplan" appears nowhere. This could be because The Sultan of Schadenfreude, Tim Burton, helmed the stop-motion gothic-lite flick, and he tends to command loyalty among moviegoers who appreciate his rococo visual excess. (Today more people are talking about him than President Bush.) Or it could be, like this girl, that they just liked it. Then again, for this blogger, not so much.
