And yet I still wonder why TGC has fared so badly at the US box office & done so well everywhere else - face it, if TGC had performed as well in the US as it did across the rest of the world New Line would have a massive hit on their hands & there would be no question of whether or not a sequel would happen. So it could be argued that its US audiences (or lack of them) that has put the franchise at risk (or killed it).
I'm intrigued - is it because there are no American stars (or American accents) in the movie? Is it because, unlike LotR & Narnia, there isn't a large book fan-base ready & waiting? Or is it the 'message' - did the boycott actually work & stop people going to see the movie? Or, & of course one has to ask this, was the movie just bad, or confused?
