Still having a tough time believing John Carter will open worse than Prince of Persia, especially with 3D and IMAX bumps.

Prince of Persia had a popular videogame franchise to build on. John Carter has 100 year old books.

Yeah, but I think video game fan-base may have more stigma than it helps... Plus, reviews of this are mixed-positive - Persia's were awful.

I suppose I am, too, and yet the 10-minute clip did not help me at all. It strikes me as another element in a rudderless campaign.

Prince of Persia also had a focused marketing campaign. John Carter doesn't know what demo they're aiming for with their woeful ads.

Just think, if they had left "of Mars" in the title, they could've had a marketing tie-in with Mars chocolates.
