I mean if you have people talking about the movie now, then when people finally start seeing previews on tv and promo starts, then I think that's just going to create a bigger interest.

But The Lorax and The Paperboy are the two that probably won't be "financial duds". Obviously The Lorax doesn't do much since it is animated, but I still think that will be a financially successful movie.

I don't know regarding TLO. I've never paid any attention to romantic dramas, so I have no feeling for what might do well, or not. It has Warner Brothers behind it, and that's something, and the Nicholas Sparks name seems to be worth something too. But so far, dramas featuring Zac as the only draw haven't done well (M&OW, no distributor; CStC, fifth at the box office on opening weekend). I'm just hoping that TLO will be at least number two or three on opening weekend and that it earns back its cost and a little profit. Then we can relax and wait for Paperboy to blow everyone's socks off.
