Number-wise it may not make sense to have it on this list. But, It was supposed to do much better than it did. Land of the Lost is probably the biggest profile bomb of the summer.

I know John that you are very sure of this. That the main reason for a TV star not being able to jump to the big screen is because the audience is used to see them for free. However, I think there is another reason much more important. Consider Daniel Radcliff... he is afraid to be known as Harry Potter after 4-5 movies, or Daniel craig as Bond after 2 movies......... now to the tv series.... you already see my point?! captain kirk, buffy, all of the friends.... the audience just has a hard time to accept the new character. thats why not many tv-stars can manage the step up. thats why. “Why pay to see the hot cheerleader in theaters when you can just see her on TV for free?" nope, thats definitely not the point. “Why pay to see the hot cheerleader in theaters when you can just see her on TV for free?”

I think the marketing was lame and it was simply overshadowed by other movies.

But it did seem like the studio just gave up on the film, releasing it with little buzz. D O A. In 2-3 months: DVD and Blu-Ray. We'll see what's what then.

I wouldnt spend $8.00 on a movie ticket to go see Jeremy Piven thats for sure. Depending on the star, some movies just scream home rental. There are a few in that list that I will see as Rentals.

Does that mean the first film didn't make enough money? No, it simply means there was no additional story to tell. Supey didn't have a "sequel" yet for many reasons, including, but not limited to: - where to take the story now that Supey Kid is in the mix; - Bryan Singer wanting to do other projects (such as Valkyrie) - The current rights battle - WB/DC thinking and/or considering a reboot or retcon.
