So, why did Hollywood's latest "reimagining" of a classic, Around the World in 80 Days, tank at the box office this past summer? Is it because audiences are not into Jackie Chan anymore? Proof positive that Roger Ebert's rule "no movie with a hot air balloon in it can be any good" is true? Or simply because Arnold Schwarzenegger lent a cameo?
