I'd hold off on that--
Right now, it's getting the "It's beginning to feel a lot like the 
Christmas movie season" audiences that have had a long, cold October and 
want to see ANYTHING that looks like a real studio movie...

(And so--apparently learning from last year's lesson of most early 
November moviegoers blowing all their money at the beginning of the 
month, even if it's on a Tim Allen Xmas-themed comedy--they decided to 
put their animated movie at the *BEGINNING* of the month, and the 
high-promoted studio-backed big-name franchise comedy at the *END*...
Gee--If only they'd figured that out LAST YEAR!!!!)  >_<
