This is going to bomb now that the animal cruelty got out.


Thank you TMZ.

Good maybe then they can treat animals with more consideration the next time they want to use them in a movie.

Yeah that guy taking the vid is a jackass. And yes German Shepards are awesome.

Hollywood is sick.

Unless they decide to take out the movie themselves, there are millions of busy mothers who don't have time to read the news who will take their kids. And thousands of people who don't have time to read news about movies who just want a "nice" movie to watch after a 14 1/2 hour work day.

Idk...this is the kind of story that those busy mothers send chain e-mails to each other about and gab about in their social circles and at the checkout line and whatnot. I have a feeling this story's going to have legs. The take will suffer.

reply

Granted not everyone will hear about it but its hitting social media now so word is getting out.

we can only hope.

Not to mention that Animal Lovers, who were a core target audience,will not touch this film with a ten foot pole.

reply

True animal lovers are loving but encourage dogs to take risks. They dont force them to do anything.

Nothing in the video describes the dog being abused. If anyone is abused, it was the trainer.

reply

Good. Not only should it be condemned for animal cruelty, but it looked like saccharine *beep*
