I wouldn't really waste your time. It's a bad movie. If you've seen the previews, then you know or can at least guess everything that happens.

Also, I think another reason for low box-office turnouts could be because of all the remakes. I mean, at any given point during this year, there has been a remake in theaters. Bad News Bears, War of the Worlds, Herbie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Batman Begins, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Pink Panther... Then there are the TV remakes, like Bewitched and Dukes of Hazzard. Then there has been a million sequels and such. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, The Transporter 2, Saw II, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, The Legend of Zorro...

Put all that together and then throw in movies like "The Fog" and "The Cave" and it's no big surprise that people aren't flocking to the movie theaters.

Honestly, there are very little films I'm actually looking forward too seeing.
