Pixar can do no wrong.

In limited release, Cyrus (with John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill) and I Am Love (with Tilda Swinton) both did well.

They say that opening weekend has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with marketing. Well, when Warners didn't even put out a trailer until a month ago, the stench was obvious. And I can't help but feel Megan Fox is going to take part of the blame for JH's failure. Jennifer's Body underperformed and now she's off of Transformers 3. Where does she go from here?
