Brits Bite Back Against Mega Shark

The seaborne schlocktail Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus may have gone straight to DVD in the United States, but a brave British distributor dared to bring the no-budget terror straight to UK theatergoers. OK, well, brave and quixotic, especially judging box-office numbers indicating Mega Shark's fantastically low £433 gross on one screen -- the rough equivalent of a $713 opening in the States. Let this forever put to rest the rumor that Lorenzo Lamas is indeed huge in London. [Guardian]
