Justin Timberlake Is Box Office POISON

Filed under: Canadialand > Justin Timberlake > Film Flickers > Jessica Alba > Mike Myers

Just about every movie that Justin Timberlake has starred in has bombed.

This is no exception!

In a battle at the box office on Friday night, the Mike Meyers/Justin flick was ass slapped - hard by Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway.

J.T.'s Love Guru is expected to take in a disastrous $14 million in America this weekend, whereas Anne and Steve's Get Smarth is projected to make $40 million.

That's a major whooping!

Mike makes movies for the ART not the money! Love Him!

I think the Love Guru is going to bomb because it isn't funny - the trailer didn't even make me laugh once. Get Smart though, actually looks funny.

17

mike meyers is overrated anyway & jessica alba can't act, let alone do comedy so in this case i don't think the ratings have much to do with JT, who looks like ass by the way. have you lot seen the posters where he's doing that bruce lee pose? bruce lee is probably turning in his grave
chick says – reply to this

18

Which is sad, because Southland Tales was an AMAZING movie with him in it. Also, I don't necessarily think that it all has to do with Justin. I went and saw both last night, and although I loved both movies THOROUGHLY, I do agree that Get Smart was the… er… smarter movie . Face it, if your uninterested in austin powerseque movies, bollywood, and the toronto maple leafs, then you won't really enjoy this movie.

no it's more like jessica "don't call me latina" alba who is box office poison!!!!!

WOW. You scooped BOX OFFICE MOJO which is where I usually get this info. first. If you can keep this up week to week BOM's Saturday advertisers should come over here.

I think this is JESSICA ALBA"S fault. AGAIN.
Like every other movie she's in.
Soo talentlessss!
cheer says – reply to this

23

I'm shocked your not blaming this on Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba!!!!
laura says – reply to this

24

don't you mean every movie Jessica Alba's in bombs?
Liss Honestly says – reply to this

25

I'd do Carrell over Myers anyday. so…. yay?
But both movies will most likely suck. And yet I will see them both.
Whoop. dee. do.
sexyJaxsy says – reply to this

26

this movie bombed not because of JT but simply because it sucks and you can tell just by the f*cking commercial that its gonna suck.
JenD says – reply to this

27

I just dont find Mike Meyer's 'schtic' or however you spell that, funny. He plays the same type of character over and over and over and it is only funny for so long. This movie seems like Austin Powers only 10 years later.

Steve Carrell is hot right now. I dont think any of this has to do with JT. Maybe a little with Alba however. But for me the big deterent is Meyers

Jessica alba was so boring, damn her. Pretty face but just stop (trying) acting.

Re: Lolit –

Ditto. Jessica Alba can't act. Plus the movie looks stupid. Verne Troyer looks ridiculous..The whole thing is a mess. Don't blame Justin!
smorf says – reply to this

when the trailor sux you know the movie sux
lyset says – reply to this

35

It's not just Justin. It's Jessica Alba too. That was just really bad casting. Add to the issue another Mike Myers character that might sound and look amusing, but isn't that funny. The trailer was so stupid there was no way I was going to ever see this film.
dsfj says – reply to this

36

well…
first of all.
its SMART, not SMARTH.

second of all,
i kinda wanna see the movie…
Kim says – reply to this

37

i think its just that they made the movie look really dumb in the previews. I don't think it attracted very much people like myself but i have heard from others that its pretty funny but could have been better.
Chris says – reply to this

38

Nothing to do with JT. The movie looked like complete crap … before they even started airing the commercials with his scenes in them.
steph says – reply to this

39

umm. actually, i'm pretty sure it has everything to do with the fact that this movie looks absolutely retarded. the previews look ridiculous. it would have bombed, with or without justin. why all the hate for JT anyways?
Chris says – reply to this

Re: james –

Compared to what it cost to make and what the paid the actors. They're probably in the hole on this one.
keven says – reply to this

41

Since when is $14 million for 1 night a bomb?
Rob says – reply to this

42

No, an all-around, dumb-ass, shitty movie is box office POISON! They all get the blame for this piece of crap!
FReal says – reply to this

43

It's not Justin's fault at all. I have heard several times that he's the best part of the movie. He should be starring in comedies. Funny ones. With jokes.
lesag says – reply to this

44

its not JT. its ALBA thats box office poison
Kate says – reply to this

45

What about Jessica Alba? Shes soooo annoying.
Rob says – reply to this

46

It's more like the curse of Jessica Alba
ida says – reply to this

47

It's not Justin. It's just that the Love Guru SUCKS. And check your spelling, btw.
Milk says – reply to this

48

I'm not seeing this movie b/c of JT…conceited, and a bad actor. Also, Jessica Alba's acting skills are terrible!! So, lets put a famour pop star and a pretty girl with no acting skills in a movie so we can gouge the american public!
jen says – reply to this

49

This movie is fucking hilarious! JT plays such a miniscule part in it really, its dumb that they have him so featured in the poster and ads. Even with Jessica Alba its a movie worth seeing it, its seriously funny!
vicky says – reply to this

50

The movie is so bad not because of JT.
essie says – reply to this

51

i blame alba, why is she famous again?
Caris says – reply to this

52

this is stupid. Black Snake Moan got great reviews, but it's ads made it appear to be something it wasnt and would not have made a great deal of money. Alpha dog was great. This is not a movie he's starring in but he looks like he does a hilarious job. All his roles have been excellent. Don't blame justin, perez you stupid hater. alba bombs in EVERYTHING she's in!!!
D says – reply to this

53

That whole line up of actors just sucks and none of them are funny except Mike Meyers
hater says – reply to this

54

I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE GET "PAID" TO MAKE SHIT LIKE THIS ! Even watching the previews to this movie you could tell it was STUPID !!! And they get paid for this ????? DUMB ASS TO ANYONE THAT GOES/WENT TO SEE IT !!
mayra says – reply to this

55

this movie looks TERRIBLE..it's got everything i hate in one place…blehh the previews are even hard to take.
Sxybk says – reply to this

56

It's not JT's fault. I don't blame him. I blame Jessica DCML Alba.
Leave my JT alone!!!!!
kenne says – reply to this

57

Can you please learn how to spell Mike Myers' name? Jesus.
Not says – reply to this

58

I think you hate Justin cuz he wouldn't go out with you Perez!
Amber says – reply to this

59

I think it's more likely that Jessica Alba is the box office poison! She's cursed more than Justin is for sure!
jenn says – reply to this

60

this movie is cursed twice cause Jessica Alba is in it too.
comet says – reply to this

61

Is Justin 'starring' in this movie? Cuz I though Mike Meyers was the 'star'. Can't blame Justin for this.
elle says – reply to this

62

i think it is fair to say that the movie just looked dumb and not funny at all so i am pretty sure that is the main reason why it bombed …also i think jessica alba is box office poison moreso than jt.
Me says – reply to this

63

Let's see, Alpha Dog was amazing. Black Snake Moan was outstanding, then there is that pesky little Shrek 3, wow..yeah that bombed too. Could it just possibly be that the movie itself sucks donkey balls? The commercials for it are stupid.
whate says – reply to this

64

don't you mean every movie that jessica alba is in??????????????????????????????????????????? gross.
keigh says – reply to this

65

he needs to pick better films. even if he wasn't in it, the idea sucks. it's mike myers doing the same old shit. it's not funny anymore. plus jessica alba is SO not interesting. this movie had no chance
k says – reply to this

66

i don't think it's justin timberlake. i don't want to see the movie because of jessica alba. it's embarrassing to watch her TRY to be funny.
thoma says – reply to this

67

what about shrek? wasnt he in that?
susan says – reply to this

68

Your hatred of Justin is getting really old perez. This movie is not justins fault. In fact, he's the only funny thing about the movie. This is a Mike Myers movie through and through and he's the one to blame. All the movies justin has done has only been bit parts. The failures have nothing to do with him. He has, in fact, gotten great reviews for his acting so you really need to get a life.
gabbi says – reply to this

it's not him….it's alba…b/c she sucks

Nah, not JT.. It's just not funny. Mike Meyers playing pervert guys with accents is just.. over.
Nicol says – reply to this

73

I personally blame Jessica Alba…
micke says – reply to this

74

Saw the movie last night. Timberlake was the only funny thing about the movie. Blaming him is ludicrous. Myers is to blame for the failure.
Starb says – reply to this

75

It is TOTALLY Jessica's fault… She is the reason why I'm not going to see it.
kayce. says – reply to this

76

this is more of a steve vs mike thing than anything else… mike myers was funny as hell in the (first two) austin powers movies, but people wanna see him do somet different… steve always delivers no matter what he's in. nothing to do w/ jt, tho i agree that he sux balls. =))
marie says – reply to this

77

In all the reviews the only one getting good reviews for the movie is Justin. Blaming him just makes you look like an ass. Oh, thats right, you are an ASS.
Me says – reply to this

78

Re: susan –

Sorry, but in Alpha Dog, he didn't have a bit part, he was one of the main stars of the movie.
Brwe says – reply to this

79

People are tired of Mike Meyers. He tries too hard and it shows. He's manic in all the wrong ways. Not to mention that he basically plays the same character over and over. He was funny ten years ago but it's time to move on.
Trebo says – reply to this

80

Mike Myers has officially jumped the shark - I saw this coming a mile away.

IT'S AUSTIN POWERS WITH A BEARD! Formulaic, contrived, Pseudo Peter Sellars crap.

See you at the $5 bin in Walmart, Mike!
D says – reply to this

81

That's not really fair to Justin. This is the first movie he's made that was supposed to open big. And he's not even the main star or attraction of Love Guru, Mike Meyers and Jessica Alba are. Too bad that the movie looks really horrible. I can't imagine anyone really wanting to see it based on the trailer.
he ma says – reply to this

82

Justin Timberlake may be box office poison but so is the most overrated woman in the world, Jessica Alba, now Jessica McFattyAlba or Warren. All her movies BOMB and critics give them the WORST reviews. It may have something to do with the fact that she can't act her way out of a paper bag to save her own life and that all the roles she's offered are for absolutely crap movies, worthy of herself, because there's no way that insanely overrated talentless joke of an actress wannabe is good for anything other than for being overrated, photoshoped and digital enhanced while wearing gallons of professional makeup to seem attractive and play some pathetic degrading whore role which consists of not doing much other than flashing skin in a sad attempt to sell more and possibly appeal to some horny greasy desperate pathetic easy losers. And she pretends she's a serious actress, muahahaha. She's a no dignity talentless piece of insanely overrated crap. The only thing there's to her is EXTREME OVERRATING.

if you want to know y my friends and i rejected the movie….two words, JESSICA ALBA….i won't even look at revlon anymore….much less pay anything to see her shameless ass on the big screen
Jenn says – reply to this

It's not Justin. It's "Don't call me Latina". She is a curse.
em says – reply to this

JT is such a self-important little pipsqueak. Never understood why people think he's so hot. Mike Myers isn't exactly Oscar material, either.

Re: Caris –
don't forget fantastic 4. that was a big hit. both. so not everything she does is bad, just 95% of the things she does.

HELL YEAH! GET SMART KICKS LOVE GURU'S ASS! SO MUCH BETTER!! HAHA. STUPID MIKE MYERS. TAKE THAT! STEVE CARELL IS WAY FUNNIER THAN MIKE MYERS!

don't blame justin timberlake, blame everyone and everything else about this movie!
Yuck says – reply to this

91

Love Guru can't even find a funny sound bite to play in the commercials and when I saw an extended trailer, it was worse. I think that's why the poor ticket sales.
Bekah says – reply to this

92

I actually liked Alpha Dog and I heard the Black Snake Moan he was in was good as well. I just honestly wont see this movie because I think it looked stupid from the previews. Mike Meyers hasnt done a funny movie really since Austin Powers
darle says – reply to this

93

Timberlake was funny funny in the movie. Not his fault. Mike Myers fault. Alpha Dogg actually brought in more money then it cost to make it so not a total failure. Emile Hirsh was the star of that movie. Timberlake hasn't had a starring role yet so blaming him is stupid. Even his next movie, The Long Road Home, is a co-starring role. He hasn't been the lead in a movie yet. At least Myers has the guts to try something different even if it didn't work. Everyone just keeps redoing tv shows or redoing old movies. Keep trying Mike.

I don't think Justin Timberlake's the reason why this movie bombed. And I don't think Shrek the Third bombed, did it?
joey says – reply to this

96

The movie looks ridiculous to me. I'd see "Don't Mess With the Zohan" before I'd check this out. I think it was a bad decision to put two movies with the same demographic up against each other on the same weekend. Mike Myers has lot a bit of his live action touch while away in Shrek Land.
starification says – reply to this

97

I truly doubt it has anything to do with Justin Timberlake. The movie looks like shit, with or without him.

Plus, we're all forgetting who the true box office poison is…Jessica Alba.
Rita says – reply to this

98

I don't think Justin is the reason the movie bombed. I think it has a lot to do with Jessica Alba,that's the reason why I had no desire to see the movie.
Jay says – reply to this

99

Its not justin supposedly he is the bright spot in the movie. Its that shitty mike myers. I have not seen it and probably never will but I have seen get smart and its not only funny but really well done

Don't blame JT for this one, the movie looks so bad if you gave me a free pass, i still wouldn't see it!!!!!!!

Thank Goodness! 'Very Psychotic' Madonna Stalker Has Been Captured!!!

What a relief!

To recap - early this morning, we heard the terrifying news that 54-year-old Robert Dewey Hoskins, a man who was convicted of stalking and threatening Madonna, had escaped from a mental hospital in Norwalk, CA.

The LAPD were describing the man as follows:
