Wow, I didn't realize so many people wanted to see
Apocalypto here in the U.K. In our last podcast, we were just saying how we didn't think the trailers or advertising for the film had been good enough to draw people in, but I guess we were wrong.
Mel Gibson's epic had the highest opening of any foreign movie ever in the U.K. but it still falls behind newcomer
Miss Potter and the unmovable
Night at the Museum.
White Noise 2 hasn't made half the impact of the original but it wasn't advertised half as much.
