His Career Is Over

Filed under: Eddie Murphy

ameetdave_galleryposter.jpg

Despite playing in over 3,000 theaters, Eddie Murphey's shiteously-reviewed new film, Meet Dave, opened to a disastrous $5.5 million this past weekend.

Thankfully, he's got a lot of money in the bank. Cuz, unless they're making another Shrek film, the tranny lover will never see another big paycheck again!

Hellboy 2 held the top spot in the U.S. this weekend, making $35.8 million.

Journey To The Center Of The Earth came in third with $20.6 mill.

And, Wall*E, which we saw on Friday and LOVED, made $18.8 million - good enough for a 4th place finish this weekend.

      Meet Dave was a HORRIBLE movie. The boom mic's were visible in a third of the movie!

      Shrke 4 is in the works and supposedly coming out in 2010. So he'll have something else to fill his pockets with.

      I have to disagree with you on Wall E, Perez. I took my kids to it and it bored them to death. I couldn't stand it either. I can't imagine too many people sitting through the movie. As far as Eddie goes, oh well, he can afford to have a sucky movie. He just wants to quit doing movies anyway so that attitude probably showed up in his acting.

      such tiny teeth? Weird! And he bleaches them too much, I know the poster is photoshopped, but even IRL they have the same shade as printer paper



    15. 15

      Good, I can't stand him now - maybe he'll take the hint and stop making movies!

      Actually Perez, you should be up on this shit. THEY ARE making a fourth Shrek. It's called SHREK GOES FOURTH complete with the cast of shiteous characters. So, Eddie will be in the spotlight again….KEEP UP!

      i hate eddie murphy he is sooooo annoying and over just bow out gracefully while you still can… He is such a hasbeen.. Isnt there an island that they stick all the hasbeens on so that we don't have to look at them anymore …

      Hey Perez, funny you should mention another shrek film!! I work at a theater in Florida and they ARE making another shrek movie it's called Shrek goes Fourth! It's due out I believe in the summer of 09!

      Perez, mi amor, POR FAVOR - stop hating on Eddie. His career has spanned over 25 years, on both the small and big screen. At least he's not afraid to take chances and take on roles that may not always makes the most money. What do you even know about Eddie, or hell, even having a career? You blog about celebrities and for the most part, are a big joke to most people. Why don't you go and educate yourself. Watch his TWO HOUR Biography Special. Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Martin Lawrence… just a few of the people who actually sat down to talk about the type of influence Eddie had on them and their own careers. Better yet, I'll SEND you a copy. There's a reason your interview wasn't included in the Special. You like to talk a lot of trash and don't know how to appreciate. Maybe you have a crush on Eddie? That's okay. Don't care. Pero quiero que deje a Eddie quieto! Basta con tu mierda Perez. I am a fan of yours, but, I'm also not to be messed with.

      Cuídate! Y cojelo con! Take it eeeasy!



    22. 22

      hahaha he deserves it, he is a shiteous actor and a divo we all hate him

      I was a fan until I watched Dream Girls. Gosh I hate that movie. But I still enjoy watching Shrek :D ! He plays a donkey anyway so you don't get to see his face ;)

      Wall-E is the best movie I've seen this summer - amongst the best movies I've seen ever. I was choked up easily half the movie… it's that touching. Great, great movie.

      Finally a word about WALL-E from Perez!!!. It is the best Disney picture in yeeears, and an absolutely stunning piece of the human creativity.
      It has been a success in reviews and people response, and I have to disagree with Elaine, I took my nephew and he absolutely enjoyed it and he understood perfectly everything despite he is just 3 yrs old and he had a great time.
      We want a post about your feelings about Wall-E Perezcito!!, not about jerks like Eddie Murphy

      39

      Actually the movie Wall-E sucked!!! I took my kids to see it and it was the most boring movie ever!!! And of course the liberal movie makers had to put their spin on it about how americans are big and fat and treat the planet like shit…..really shitty movie….

      Uhh yea they are making another Shrek film



    41. 41

      thats because eddie murphy sucks.

      Perez, you RUIN perfectly good careers. I didn't think there was anything wrong with Eddie until you started bashing on him. Same with Bruce Willis. All these people are DOING FINE until you come along and RUIN IT!!!

      45

      I still do love Eddie, and when he was up for the Golden Globe for Dream Girls, I had my fingers crossed and he WON!! He is not funny like he once was, but he has tried to stretch himself in different directions and that takes much more bravery than most have.
      Certainly Madonna has never made a memorable movie since Desperately Seeking Susan. And she probably thought she had a movie career in the BAG!! Not that easy.

      46

      HE FUCKED UP WHEN HE LEFT MELB!
      DONT FUCK WITH SCARY SPICE CUS UR GONNA GET BURNED BITCH!!!
      THATS WHAT HE GETS FOR DUMPING MELB WHILE PREGNANT AND DENYING IT WAS HIS BABY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS AND THE BASTARD STILL WONT SEE THE KID!
      I HOPE
      EDDIE GOES TO
      HELL!

      ërez, they are making a Sherk 4 and Beverly Hills Cop 4 (yeah like we need to see Axel (Grease) Foley Again)
      As the Queen of all Media, you my dear should know this.
      Eddie is a good actor just getting Shitty roles

    56. His c says – reply to this


      56

      What a dumb ass you are Perez! Just b-cuz he did a movie you didn't like and is not doing well, doesn't mean that his career is over.

      Eddie is a comic genious so he has a lot of possibilities. What will you have Perez when this shit hole of a web site crashes and burns. You do have limited talent afterall, Perez.

      Some of you have the right idea though…if Eddie went back to stand up, we would be lucky. NOBODY does better stand up than Eddie. What other comic could fill ARENAS the way that Eddie could? None.

      So what if Eddie is just an okay actor, who is inconsistent picking good movies. His stand up is BRILLIANT so I forgive him other imperfections. I realize that he can't be equally as brilliant in all aspects of his life.

      Oh, and by the way…the whole Scary Spice thing….have you ever heard the word "Desperate"? She was desperate to get back into the limelight one way or the other. I feel bad that she had to have a baby to get her name back into the tabloids. What kind of woman is she?



    57. 57

      Wow! What a bad movie choice Mr.Murphy. A role you shouldve definitely passed on.

    58. LT says – reply to this


      58

      I will never even think about renting an EM movie, much less go to one…his behavior and lack of responsibility with his baby daughter with Spice Mama was beyond low. NEVER ignore a child that you brought into this world, intentionally or not!!!!!! He's through. Scumbag, deadbeat etc. etc…

      To quote YOU Perez, during our interview: "Yea Eddie Murphy definitely has an ego, but rightfully so he is very talented, he has a lot of hits, but he also has had a lot of bombs, but he is at the point now where he has been in the business 30 plus yearshe's a bit of an interesting figure."

      Oye! Por que tienes que ser tan falso?

      I loved Walle too. Disappointing how the box office numbers dropped so significantly after the first weekend. Intenational box office numbers were also not impressive. Whatever, it is a critical success and Pixar doen't need the money… I LOVE WALLE!!!

      Don't write him off yet. Tranny-loving or not, the man's got talent and he's got smarts, two things that will always serve him in life.

      Just wait and see.

      Alan Arkin got a sympathy vote–Murphy was robbed and should've won the Oscar for "Dreamgirls."

      Perez is just jealous that he's got a WHOOOOOLE lot more money then him. Eddy Murphy would wipe his ass with Perez's life savings.
