Hmm, looks like the tide's gone out for penguins...This, in spite of
many
good reviews at rottentomatoes.com
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/surfs_up/
In fact, among all 2007 animated film U.S. releases up to this point
("Paprika"
is a 2006 U.S. release) "Surf's Up" has the highest tomatometer ranking at
77%.
Seems too bad then that this well praised movie doesn't do very well while
the
critically savaged "Shrek the Third" is on its way to the $300M mark.
Speaking of which, of the big deal threequels, StT was the worst reviewed.
Yet
it's also the one that's had the best legs at the boxoffice. :-(
"Paprika" expanded to a handful of more theaters, but its per theater
average
of only $3300 is not encouraging.
