re: Why did the Burt Wonderstone movie bomb so badly?

I plan on seeing it. I love me some Steve carell and a few parts of the trailers have made me lol a bit. Mainly the "my next trick will be to stay in this box for seven days" then you see him up in the box touching the walls going "wow this box is smaller than I thought it would be." That's typical Steve carell and I'll take that. I'm obviously not expecting it to be the greatest comedy ever, but if it makes me laugh throughout then I'll like it.

I have no interest in seeing it in theaters and the previews don't look all that great,

You answered you're question with the first sentence of your post. Maybe bc the general public feels that way.
