The bright side to low second weekend ticket sales for ‘Watchmen’

The conversation between Mike Gold and myself:

MG: Actually, it’s probably a good thing that the numbers for Watchmen this past weekend weren’t so great.

GH: Okay, why? I mean, it’s not a flop, it’ll still make its money back, even if it’s no blockbuster.

MG: Exactly. If it was a blockbuster, they’d be more tempted to make a sequel.

GH: …point well made.
