Friday Box Office: Green Hornet Has Sallow Opening Night, Dilemma Self-Destructs

11 million isn't that bad considering all of the turmoil this project went through, as well as the mid January opening. I saw it in a packed theater last night, and the crowd seemed to enjoy the film.
What do they expect when the studios flush all the crap on us that has been sitting on their shelf for months.
