JOHN CARTER will arrive next week as the studio holds its breath in hopes that it doesn’t sink at the box office.

Ultimately, if none of these promotional pushes convince you to see the film, then nothing will. While Disney may not have hit every mark for the advertising of the film, they’ve shown quite a bit to entice people in. Now, it’s all up to you.
If you’re sold on JOHN CARTER (as I am) then you can take a trip to Barsoom when it opens on March 9, 2012.
