“Shrek Forever After” did not make a good opening by just opening up to $71.3 million. “Shrek Forever After” is the last and fourth chapter of Shrek series and it is one of the most successful animated series. According to the distributor of Paramount Pictures, the movie opened to $71.3 million which is less than the “Shrek the Third”.
“Shrek” was the total disappointment of this week and the reason is unknown. Distributors are saying, may be it is because of the increase in ticket prices, especially for 3D movies. People who saw “Shrek” gave it an average A grade and people even said, they liked the first 3 parts better than this.
The chief of DreamWorks animation said, they are positive about the “Shrek Forever After” is on its way to becoming worldwide hit. So overall “Shrek” did not get a good response from audience worldwide as it was expected by the producers and distributors. It could have been better according to the fans, but the production costs were minimal according to the marketing president.
Not only Shrek, but other movies which were released this week were also a part of disappointment said the distributors but they had a hope on “Shrek”.
