If everyone was as frugal as one would think, we wouldn't have people talking on their cell phones during movies that are plenty entertaining and get rave reviews.
AVP is based off of two top selling movie franchises, and will get a TON of coverage through advertisements in many primetime slots. There's no way free advertising on Raw and Smackdown is going to compete with Summer Blockbuster status.

Not to mention that the primary "name recognition" is the WWE. Low budget films by a group that has no credibility? Not a good thing. That, is a BAD thing.
