1) 3D? Seriously? I know that Avatar made a trillion dollars because it was in 3D, but really? That was in 2009. Doing that now is almost like adding #Winning to your Tweets, kinda outdated.
2) Now sharks are cool and they will always be cool. This is something that the Discovery Channel has figured out and that's why they keep bringing back "Shark Week" (Keep up the good work!) Adding a shark to any movie poster will automatically earn you $5 million on your opening weekend.
3) While sharks are cool, what's up with this shark? I think it's like blind or something cause it chased down the swimmer and then continued to swim past her... What's up with that? Is he chasing down her larger friend who's swimming in front of her? We'll never know unless there's a sequel.
4) A pretty girl is always a bonus in any movie poster. Girl in a bikini is even better, enough said.
5) Blood splatters are a tricky thing to use on any movie poster, kind of like an American actor doing an English accent. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. In this case it has missed the mark as it doesn't fit in with the story being told in the poster. It doesn't look like "shark attack" blood, it looks more like "vampire attack" blood. It's like they borrowed the blood splatter from a Twilight movie poster, which is never a good thing...
In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis I predict that "Shark Night 3D" will gross $11 million in its opening weekend.
