Fox should have checked Trank into rehab first before giving him the director's chair.
I almost feel bad for him. The movie is tanking bad and its really going to mess up his career for a while. He can blame the studio but ultimately he made changes to the story that fans disliked. Trank also distancing himself from the movie and blaming the studio will ruin his chances of getting other properties to direct. No one will want to hire him for fear that he will blame any failure on the studio. He should have owned the failure. The movie cost 120,000,000 and its not even going to make 30,000,000 this week. The movie will probably get to 45,000,0000 next week. Oversees box office will help but studios still don't get as much profit percentage from the overseas receipts as they do nationally. Yeah this film is a total failure.
