Should Not Have Been A Summer Movie


It's really a shame this one won't do better at the box office. It shouldn't have been released in the summer, but instead in the fall.

That was the oringial plan to release it in the fall.

I think it would had a stronger shot on the fall.

Then how do you explain the success of both The Help and The Butler? Both movies released roughly the same weekend? Both made over 100 mill dollars.

reply

I also feel the same way on the release date. This summer has a lot of bs action flick for a good bio movie to compete. Around late September or even Christmas time would have done this movie some major numbers.

The fall wouldve been a better time to release but its not a guarantee for box office success. Cadillac Records came out in the fall and it still bombed. And it had BEYONCE in it.

BEYONCE is not a box office draw, and you're a fool for thinking. When you compare who was behind the scenes with and compare who was behind the scenes with Cadillac Records, Get On Up had more of a chance in the fall. Besides Cadillac was a border line indie.

Eating my prunes and watching that ass!

She is a box office draw. What other black actress coulda garnered equal box office numbers for a garbage ass film like Obsessed??? Get Real. NO ONE in the cast of "Get on Up" is a draw.

One 'hit' isn't really enough to call someone a bow office draw. Plus Obsessed only made $73 million. That's not huge hit.

Sigh,
Child you now nothing of the film industry. You could've thrown any actress in Obsessed and it would have made A profit. Most of Will Packer's movies who produced Obsessed are budgeted at around 30 Million or Less so they easily make their money in the first two weeks. You're one of the people who think Popularity equals talent, which BTW it doesn't. Viola Davis isn't a box office draw, but she's getting ready to star in her own series, has numerous awards and her entire 10 min monologue in Doubt is better than anything Beyoncé has done acting wise. Do yourself a favor and LEAVE movie talk to GROWN MEN.
