HARVEY Weinstein is so disappointed in the $11.6 million opening weekend gross for "Grindhouse" - the three-hour-plus double-feature directed by Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez - he's considering re-releasing each film, "Death Proof" and "Planet Terror," separately in longer versions, the way they'll play in foreign markets and on DVD. "I don't think people understood what we were doing," Weinstein told Page Six. "The audience didn't get the idea that it is two movies for the price of one. I don't understand the math, but I want to accommodate the audience." He said the main deterrent to ticket buyers is the length, which "becomes a time commitment."

Or maybe you shouldn't have released on EASTER WEEKEND, ya friggin' moron.
As for the paying customers being idiots who don't understand the "2 for 1" concept, is making them pay full price for each flick gonna educate 'em?
