6. RESEARCH CARRIED ON
The film brought in $3,833,300 in America in its opening weekend
(1,552 Screens) (there wasn’t a gross for UK showings)
Websites such imdb etc were very vague on their marketing strategies
but I know they produced posters and children's pyjamas produced
these after the film was released in cinemas, I think this could be a
marketing strategy to make people watch the film and buy the DVD
when it is released
