For some reason, one of the blogistas feels that I have avoided Shark Tale's failure to fail completely after a September estimate that it wouldn't hit $100 million.
I was wrong. On the other hand, what I have been avoiding was a repeated analysis of what a mediocrity the numbers are. The wall known as The Incredibles leaves the shark story one more reasonably open weekend. Given that, Shark Tale is unlikely to pass A Bug's Life (Pixar's lowest grossing title) as the eighth highest grossing CG animated film ever and even if it does, it will come up short of Ice Age.
Is that the horn you want tooted? I'm underwhelmed.
It's no Team America, but $160 million for Shark Tale is a step above embarrassing, not a cause for a parade... except perhaps for Chris Wedge and Fox, who have Robots on the way.
