I’ll be putting my Land of the Lost review up a little later this evening, but I can tell you right now the film absolutely sucks. There was actually a fair amount of buzz that they hit it out of the park with this film a little while ago…. well… all that buzz has disappeared right quick.
There was also some early talk that this film could end up finishing in the top 5 as far as box office draw goes for the summer. Considering the major blockbusters this summer offers I always thought that was a little ambitious. Well… forget top 5. It may not get top 20. Friday’s box office numbers are in and Land of the Lost only made about $7 million compared to UP (in it’s second weekend) at about $13 million and The Hangover (brilliant movie, I’ll also be posting my review of this one later as well) at about $16 million.
Word of mouth is only going to hurt Land of the Lost and if I had to take a guess I’d say it’s going to end up being the flop of the summer. It deserves to flop too.
