watch Cowboys and Aliens online megavideo,There are many films most interesting experiments in recent months as "Cowboys & Aliens." Genre mash-ups is not based on well-known feature, Jon Favreau is an expensive new films also led a series of high profile personalities such as A-list actress, this generation (Daniel Craig) and a big name of the previous generation (Harrison Ford).

But science-fiction Western could withdraw only $ 36200000 revenue at the box office this past weekend. It is hardly more than the other big summer action movie that was not part of a franchise known, "Super 8" which opened to 35.5 million without the help of a list stars. "Cowboys" did not even win the weekend, at least not yet, finishing in a tie with the least rare (and expensive) "The Smurfs" reboot.

So what are the "cowboys" performance tell us? A quick summary.

Hybrid hiccups. Genre mash-ups can go two ways: they can unite different audiences, or may dispose of them. "Cowboys" fanboys seem to have done with young people in particular, I'm not sure what to do with the item from the west (about two thirds of the audience was over 30, writes my colleague Amy Kaufman). This seems to be the larger trend. Last year, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" - was a failure - which combines martial arts, video games, books, comics and novels. Let's see how "The attack of the Block," which combines horror with science fiction and comedy rates. The movie did decent in limited release this weekend.

Favreau fads? Jon Favreau is the rare Hollywood personality that runs regularly between study drama and big-ticket missing. How does he do on that front? After "Iron Man" gave his career a jolt in 2008, things were a little worried. "Iron Man 2" was a load of money, but has received lukewarm reviews from many critics. (Shortly after leaving the franchise.) And now, despite an all-out blitz Favreau, opened his new film to a sum disappointing. Of course, it was better than 2005 is "Zathura" - but that's not saying much.

The effect of Craig. Perhaps the most intriguing of all kinds. Daniel Craig is definitely a movie star, who helped revive the James Bond franchise with "Casino Royale" five years ago. But we see not only a living icon? Do not really care about in "Munich" (which came out a year before "Real"). And not necessarily warm to it here. Bad news for those behind the "Dream House" horror thriller. And the inevitable question arises as we welcome in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

Advertising intrusiveness. It 'impossible to determine how the promotion of "Cowboys" actually received. But the film was certainly difficult to avoid. Current television commercials in recent weeks, a lot of actor talk-show appearances and a big Comic-Con next weekend the film will still be able to win a decisive weekend. All the evidence suggests that the public can provide a return to the concept of reduced film if you do not go down well potential audience. Consider this: "Battle: Los Angeles," a film that has been promoted to a lot less, but that was easily digestible concept, and the trailer, opened in almost the same amount.
