Don't tell her what I said above then Taylor, how a film destoryed it PTA wise that opened on Sunday.

My mother is an Angelina loonie and is using the "it had one of the highest PTA's of the weekend!!!!" argument against me.

Bless her.

[Ariadne]

Your mom knows about PTA's?? Jeez! :blink:The numbers are horrible but with a completely foreign cast, foreign language, plot about genocide and rape during Christmas weekend, plus zero p&a from the studio (I see a lot of movies and never once saw the trailer for this in theaters) I don't see how there would have been a different result.

Even with all of that, you'd think Angelina fans alone would make this open wider - only 28,000 from a 4-day weekend?

[TLK]

Angelina Jolie's non-action movies don't make much money. Even 'A Mighty Heart' with all its accompanied publicity and a million times more relevance to a US viewership failed to make 10 million DOM.

The epic failure of In The Land of Blood and Honey is astounding

Not at all. The movie had buzz only on AD Forums and they are mirror universe where everything is opposite of ours. These guys aren`t in touch with reality.Also, the theme of the movie doesn`t interest anyone. Angelina can stick her "raising the awareness of the problem" in her ass. You want people to know, you make a commercial movie. Simple as that. Foreign language torture porn with unknown actors and unappealing characters that drags for 3 hours won`t do the trick. Her head`s got too big. This wasn`t an execize in film-making but in mythmaking of Angelina the Ultimate Strong Woman/Feminist Icon/Other Manufactured Bullshit. Deserved flop if there was ever one.

I never heard of the film until this discussion. Judging by the numbers I'm guessing so did most of the country.

We should! I'm very interested to see them based on the crowd reports yesterday. Sounds like there will be some major bumps.

Double ditto, count me in.And it's not like we don't follow movies. This Jolie flick was way, way below the radar.

Pretty decent Christmas' weekend.

So true. I had heard about only because I was posting trailers in the trailers thread and ran across it. Totally forgot about it after I posted it.

LOL @ the AD forums. That place is such a looney bin. I joined it years ago to discuss film but that place is unbearable.

[CJohn]

Very good Monday. Hopefully the actuals will bring some even better news!

[Captain Craig]

AD forums?I google that and its a site for Advertisers.What does AD stand for?

[fishstick]

Awards Daily Forums. Not to be mixed with Awards Daily and its commenters.
