It amazes me how Hollywood can bitch about anything.

Okay, I can't see how an animated film would cost $100 million dollars to make, but I suspect there's some "Hollywood accounting" going on in there.

So yeah, "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" apparently cost that much to produce, and in it's opening weekend, it made $30.1 million dollars. And that's only "so-so" numbers.

Wait, what?

It made back 30% of the entire production, development and advertising costs, plus whatever else the bill was padded with, in three days, and that's a "so-so" opening? Okay, sure, it could eat shit in the upcoming weeks, and end up being a loss on the total production costs, but damn, these are some whiny people in Hollywood.

"Wah, "The Informant" only made about 48% of it's production costs of $22 million dollats in it's opening weekend! Waaaaah!" (And see, I'm not saying Matt Damon isn't an A-list actor, but how in the fuck does a movie that actually stars real people end up costing one-fifth of the cost of an animated movie?)

Of course, "Jennifer's Body" had a poor opening weekend too, but that's not a big shock there.
