There’s $500 million dollars shot to hell!
The most expensive movie ever made has FAILED at the box office.
To be fair, for any other flick, it would have been a rather impressive opening. But considering the $$$ and time put into this thing, we expected a lot more.
James Cameron’s Avatar raked in a mere $73 million dollars in it’s opening weekend here in the states. (It did a little better worldwide- $232.2 million.)
To put that into perspective for you – New Moon earned $72.7 million dollars in it’s FIRST DAY of release, pulling in $125 million domestically over it’s opening weekend.
Then again, it didn’t have a blizzard on the East Coast to compete with. (Although, we gather there isn’t much that would keep a Twi-hard from seeing their fave vamp and werewolf!)
Here’s hoping they’ll bring in some much needed funds throughout the week!
Did any of U see the flick?
