The Chronicle of a Super Bowl Weekend Success

February 8, 2012UncategorizedJohn Scalzi

Over at FilmCritic.com this week, I look at the success of Chronicle in the theaters over Super Bowl weekend, and what lessons, if any, we may glean from its box-office topping performance. Hint: there are lessons to be learned, otherwise my column would be very short, and I don’t get paid for very short columns. Go! Read! Now!

  • A little kid on a bike didn't look in the direction of my car before jamming out into the street. Fortunately I have excellent brakes. 7 hours ago
