Isn't that normally how it works, though? Most movies under the %25 rating tend to get adversely affected at the box office.

I know I've argued a few times on why I feel it's a low rated movie and it tends to be the trend. I _know_ that they're not always right, but more often than not, when it gets this low they tend to be more right than wrong.

So, I think how well it's done is representative of the quality. I agree that it will probably make most of its money on DVD/BD sales (as _JL_ mentioned).

And, I understand that a good number of people here feel completely opposite about the movie (it had a good story, it was awesome, it's not a 1 or 2/5 movie, etc.), but it's all just opinion in the end. This time, opinion just went a way different than the general opinion here.

As far as Hop? It looks a ton like Chipmunks, and the average score seems spot on, but families seem to love to take their kids to see digital anthropomorphic characters.
