Grindhouse is 3 hours long, rated R, and the trailers they released wouldn't grab anyone but Tarantino and Rodriguez fans. I expected it to make around $18 million. It will do well in DVD sales which is what is really killing the smaller, original films at the box office. You can spend at least $15 at the movie, or wait 4 months until it comes out on DVD and watch it at home. It's a pretty easy choice for most people. I prefer to see any movie at the theater, but most people aren't going to unless it's a blockbuster like Spider-Man or Pirates of the Carribean. What did they expect?
