The Darkest Hour gets a great poster, will likely flop anyway.

I still think it's nuts for Summit Entertainment to be releasing this one during the flood of Christmas weekend releases.  It's all-but sure to be lost in the crowd between The Adventures of Tintin, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, We Bought a Zoo, Warhorse, and Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol (I still think at least one of those should have moved the completely empty December 2nd date).  But credit where credit is due, this is a wonderfully evocative and fun poster.  Does anyone have this invisible aliens invasion flick at the top of their Christmas must-see list?
