...robots at war against a group of machines that could destroy part of the planet. That film was The Hurt Locker, about U.S. soldiers defusing bombs in Baghdad. It opened at just four theaters in New York City and Los Angeles and earned $144,000, for a robust screen average of $36,000. Meanwhile, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, another movie with war and robots and stuff blowing up - and which the critics roundly denounced - earned $26,000 per screen.

...gender differences, by the way, don't let fathers off the hook. Men may not have hurried to get the unattractive faces off the screen, but neither did they linger over them the way they did the attractive faces. In both cases, this suggests bias, and when the rubber hits the road of real childcare, parents of either sex may end up having similar instincts.
