Van Helsing takes £60m ($107m) worldwide

Van Helsing actually took in 107m worldwide. If you had bet against this movie, you would be betting against the built in audience generated by the comic book series.

I, on the other hand, went to see a different comic book adaptaion "Hellboy", which should have died a quick death. Lisa and I saw it in a theater (the Parkway in Oakland) which has couches and serves beer, pizza, and nachos, so we were able to sit back, relax and sleep through this dud of a film. It was billed as a "rollercoaster ride", but it was much more like a "teacup ride". You spin around really fast, and at the end you feel like throwing up.
