i just saw a commercial for mystery men on tv, because it has its free-tv premiere this weekend. the movie wasn't very succesful in theaters and while seeing the ad i thought it was probably released at the wrong time. it came out before the major wave of superhero movies, so maybe nobody wanted to see a spoof of something they don't know.
do you think it would be more succesful if it was released now?
i think so, because people are now familiar with the original scenes. scary movie was so succesful, because the horror movies that it spoofed were widely known. i also wasn't very interested in seeing mystery men 4 years ago, but i guess today i'd go and see it in the theater.
