I know Arthur Christmas because of a billboard. A billboard with awful, awful Christmas puns.
However, the advertising campaign makes it look like "Generic CGI Children's Movie #23 with Christmas theme".
Like I said, it obviously isn't working as it isn't on in all the cinemas, and isn't on at all in the evenings in any of my 4 local options, and I can't imagine it displacing Puss in Boots, Happy Feet 2 etc. in the run up to Christmas.
Hopefully it'll do really well on DVD and TV reruns.
