Hollywood Ahead of Us Nonfunctioning Marketplacers
Linked to by LGF:
I’m told #7 Stop-Loss opened to only $1.6 million Friday from just 1,291 plays and should eke out $4 M. Although the drama from MTV Films was the best-reviewed movie opening this weekend, Paramount wasn’t expecting much because no Iraq war-themed movie has yet to perform at the box office. “It’s not looking good,” a studio source told me before the weekend. “No one wants to see Iraq war movies. No matter what we put out there in terms of great cast or trailers, people were completely turned off. It’s a function of the marketplace not being ready to address this conflict in a dramatic way because the war itself is something that’s unresolved yet. It’s a shame because it’s a good movie that’s just ahead of its time.”
Heheheh.

They’ve lost confidence in their audience? Perhaps they should dissolve this audience and elect a new one.

It’s hard to garner a lot audience enthusiasm for the elites of Tinselgrad waving expensive white Frette or Léron linens in surrender at every opportunity.
