A film's failure is said to be often more instructive than it being successful. Disney's "Mars Needs Moms" $175 million "flop" could be the end of the wave of 3D film making, ending expensive spending in digital technology on special effects, such as CGI. The recession could potentially get a lot worse after the summer, impacting 3D movies dramatically, particularly when there are films winning Oscars and Baftas on little budget, such as "The King's Speech" which was produced for less than $12 million.
"Mars Needs Moms" entertained most children enough, being a "far-fetched yarn about Milo, a nine-year-old who doesn't eat his broccoli and whose mother up being kidnapped by Martians." The film is in the centre of a debate on the pricing of 3D tickets, however, which threatens 3D film-making generally.
Though it cost a massive $175 million to make, "Mars Needs Moms" grossed under $7 million on it's first weekend in the US. Thus, the film was a flop.
