two reasons -
1. people download stuff for free
2. people are too cheap to pay for anything nowadays
also if you notice this film was put together on a relatively small budget of $30M. if this same film had been put together 5 years ago, it likely would have had a budget of at least double that amount. studios are doing everything they can do adjust to the "Give me everything for free" generations coming up.

Even that terrible-looking Halle Berry movie beat it at the box office.

Don't download movies and the cost of movies is stupid now, yes I am too cheap to pay for a couple of hours of entertainment.

Oh and I'm going to assume Carrey didn't get his normal $20 million+ payout. So maybe we're getting closer to a true evaluation of media value. This is all good news.This post was edited on 3/17/13 at 9:01 am

Bad marketing too. Just saw the first preview to this movie about three weeks ago.

We must have different ideas of what a small budget is.

So it costs about $35 for two people to go to the movies and get popcorn and Coke and you are blaming the public for not going to the movies? Ha, you dumb.

Wow. I doubt anyone wasted their time to download that movie. It just looks horrible.

yet the top highest grossing movies except for Titanic have all come out in the downloading age.
Invalid argument is invalid.
