Speed Racer, the Cinematic Victim
Speed Racer, the Cinematic Victim
Is it true that Speed Racer may be a cinematic underdog, or a box office disappointment? I believe the 2008 film may be a victim to terrible marketing and a poor distribution decision. It's true when I am slamming the big studio system, in this case it would be Warner Brothers, to be considering the distribution of their film one week after the expected release of the blockbuster film Iron Man.
