Quote - Actually, I'm not sure where you think Beowulf is a failure. It brought in much more money in it's opening weekend than any other film of it's kind has in the past, and reviews for it were more favorable than any 3d film of it's kind in the past (Final Fantasy, etc.).
When all is said and done, it should actually earn a nice profit for Paramount. It was made for $150 mil, and earned over $20 mil in it's opening weekend.
It is not the money that the film earns it is how it is presented. I felt disappointed by the movie, I had read the poem that the movie was based on back in school and felt the movie did not have the same meaning as the poem did. I felt the same when I saw Eragon, but I did enjoy it more than Beowulf.
