I didn’t know why the sudden interest in a movie which I hadn’t heard before. Later on, I realized it was a consious effort by the movie publicists to reach out to bloggers. It worked quite well for the movie although it didn’t generate a Pirates-esque phenomenon. After all, it was an experiment  in viral marketing. Same goes for Snakes on a Plane squib.

The demographic bit you got right, and wrong. Its about the age group targeted, but their posession of the means to create this hype alienated a lot of people outside this age group who, in my experience, dismissed it as juvinile. Secondly box office takings do not a good film make. For instance, Titanic is still the biggest worldwide box office grossing film of all time. It lacks any element of an enjoyable or "good" movie.
