I like that, when most companies dump a movie, everyone realizes that it's because the movie is shit, but somehow dumping Midnight Meat Train was a stupid, evil decision, even though as it turns out, the movie was shit. Seeing that movie, there was NO way it was going to be a hit movie.
Look at Repo, too. I think it looks cool, but it doesn't take a genius to say "Horror/musical, not based on an existing property (so don't even bring up Sweeney Todd, which had Tim Burton, a world renowned property and Johnny Depp on its side), sorry, we can't even pretend we think it's going to be a hit". Sorry, but you can't blame a company for not mortgaging its future on a HUGE shot in the dark.
Same with The Burrowers. It's a movie by a guy who's big mainstream name was Mimic 3. It's a hybrid of a horror movie and a western. Its big-name star is Ron Perlman. There's nothing about that movie that says "big financial hit movie".
This has, obviously nothing to do with Daybreakers, but I just don't see why a movie that gets continually delayed by Fox is seen as a shitty movie, but a movie continually delayed by Lionsgate means they're evil.
