Some not so good news about opening weekend numbers:

P.S. I heard a rumor that you should watch the FX network June 9th at 11pm...but hey thats just a rumor.

Only 17 Days...

With less then 20 days until the movie hit screens in America a lot of press is starting to build up.

A report in the newspaper The Scotsman (http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/features/M-Night-Shyamalan--What.4121061.jp) says that the movie will not be screened for audiences. This usually is a bad thing meaning that studios don't want bad reviews but it can also be a good thing to help movie goers make up there minds with out help for reviewers.

Also over 80 new promo shots have been posted the link follows:
