Exactly what I wanted to read first thing on a Monday morning

In many ways, the timing of the NBC acquisition could not have been worse for Universal Pictures executives. Even though the studio succeeded this year with "Along Came Polly" with Jennifer Aniston and the thriller "The Bourne Supremacy," its summer was one of its worst in years. Big budget extravaganzas like "Van Helsing" and "Chronicles of Riddick" failed to live up to Universal's expectations, and smaller films like "Connie and Carla," "Two Brothers" and "Thunderbirds" barely registered with moviegoers.
