The name "John Carter" doesn't exactly jump up and grab you, either, if you've never heard of it before (which I hadn't). Doesn't make me think neat new sci-fi movie - it makes me think accountant who lives down the street.
Plus, there's a general conception that movies released this time of year suck - otherwise, they'd be released during the summer season or around Christmas.
