50 Loses to Animated Chicken
Now, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t loving the fact that 50’s movie completely flopped this weekend, so I won’t say it. But I’m loving it. The funny thing is I was talking to somebody, I forget who, just last week about the possibility of it not doing well and how great that would be. We both pretty much agreed that it would be pretty much impossible for that to happen…and then the numbers came in:
1 Chicken Little $80,774,000 3658
2 Zathura $14,000,000 3223
3 Derailed $12,800,000 2441
4 Get Rich or Die Tryin’ $18,203,000 1652
Now in all fairness it should be noted that those numbers after the gross are the number of theaters each movie was showing in, and as you can see GRODT was shown in far fewer theaters than the other 3.
That said, GRODT had one of the biggest marketing pushes I’ve ever seen for a Hip Hop film, and it was released two days earlier than the other movies. In the past few weeks it’s been pretty hard to turn on the TV and not see 50 promoting one way or another. This guy has books, soundtracks, re-released albums, and even video games all meant to sell you his fake gangster image and ultimately make you come out your pockets. It looks to me like the public has had enough of what he’s selling.

I saw the bootleg of 50’s movie and if you heard his first album you’ve already seen the movie. i wouldnt waste my money on seeing it. If u gotta itch to see it just listen to Many Men for a hour and a half its the same thing.

>>but u forgot one fact!!! CHICKEN LITTLE started in 3600 theaters & GET RICH in 1600 so cut the crap!!!
how did I forget that when I mentioned it right there in the post, I even bolded it for the visually impaired. So like I said, yeah those other movies opened in more theaters, but no lie, the first time I even heard of Zathura was when I saw it in second place. 50’s been marketing GRODT since before it was even finished filming.
face it, he flopped. its ok it happens to the best of ‘em.

Oh, and it should also be noted that this was Chicken Little’s second weekend in theaters, which is not usually a movies strongest selling period, so 50 got wupped by 2 week old left over chicken.

I got the bootleg and I’m glad I only paid 5 bucks for it. Going to Theaters to see that crap would be a waste of time and money.
