And the reason Battleship did okay overseas but not here was because people in Thailand don't know the game so they didn't have that first "They made a movie out of THAT?

Remember when @avclub-54d4cda5a907f7d4dd75662ab0199318:disqus wrecked those 27 police cars, a tv station helicopter and a taco truck to catch a jaywalker?  That probably didn't help.
