"Cars" wows theater owners in first public screening

I suppose it's just my paranoid nature, but pixar knows that:

1. They have a sizable built in audience that will go see ANYTHING they put out

2. They know word-of-mouth sells more tickets that anything

So they put out a so-so trailer to curb expectations hoping that when people see the actual movie they say, hey I thought this would bite but it was really pretty good...

You can add this post into position #9 on my list of "Why Moonliner is not a movie producer..."

The trailer for "Finding Nemo" didn't wow me, but I loved the movie. The trailer for "The Incredibles" didn't wow me, and I only liked the film - it's probably on the list as my second to least favorite Pixar film, "A Bug's Life" being at the bottom. The trailer for "Cars" doesn't wow me either, though I do want to see the film, and we already have tickets for opening night. The cars are cute, but then, they look remarkably like the Chevron cars, and I love those.
