No one wants to see Jennifer's Body

No one wants to see Jennifer's Body

Megan Fox proves she is not a star outside of the Transformers franchise.

Despite being one of, if not the most, followed and talked about celebrities of our time, the question always remained; could she draw in audiences without having giant robots as costars. It appears we now know the answer. Here is the scoop from boxofficeguru.com

...........Having the least bite among the weekend's four new releases was the Megan Fox-led horror flick Jennifer's Body which collected just $6.9M from a very wide 2,702 theaters for a dismal $2,542 average. Despite being one of Hollywood's most followed celebrities, the Transformers starlet failed to pull moviegoers into the multiplexes. Body had a strong marketing push from 20th Century Fox and even some starpower from Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody. But the overabundance of horror films in recent weeks took its toll and Fox could not flex any muscles when it came to anchoring her first major film. Her agents will now have difficulty landing big paydays for future films......

On the good side, the movie only had a budget of about 18 million, so it may still make a profit. However, it appears this confirms what we all know, she is nice to look at, but can't act and cannot hold a movie on her own. Even when she gets naked and kisses another girl. Go figure, guesse were not all as perverted as hollywood thinks we are. Oh well, at least she is nice to look at.



And i know this isn't technically comicbookmovie news, but we've had this discussion already, so deal with it.

lee77@ the international will probably be worse. and as i said, it will make a profit cause its so cheap, but it was expected to debut in the double digits.

Those numbers would have trippled IF she ACTUALLY WAS NAKED in the movie. So we didn't get any acting talent nor boobies. Who the [frick] would actually pay to see that??? At the very LEAST the last "Friday the 13th" had quote: "Perfect Nipple Placement"!!!

B movie horror films like this almost always start slow in the box office.

...and I'm not saying she's a good actor, but you can't judge a person's acting talent based on how much money their movie makes.

If that were the case, Matt Damon should also be considered a crappy actor, considering one of his best movies (The Rainmaker) only made a 5 million dollar profit; the cost to make the movie was 40 million. ...or even worse, "The Good Shepherd" only made 59 million, and it cost 85 million to make.

Regardless, I think she sucks to. I'm just disagreeing with how you came to your conclusion.

Macksimus- With movies like these, only the rich momma's boy of the gang goes to see it. Then he comes back to his boys and tells them if there were tits in it or not. Sadly, this film won't make more than it did in any weekend to follow. So his conclusion isn't that far off.

I think all the negativity about Fox is why the movie is doing poorly I saw the previews to it liked it and want to see it I'll get the DVD lol......
Friday the 13th, They should have stopped after the first one.....after that, they all suck.

The poor haul I think is because of some of the things it opened against. I took my daughter to see 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and everyone and their brother was there with truckloads of kids. They should have opened this movie closer to Halloween.

Guy's if you haven't seen the movie, hold your reservations. I saw it, and while it isn't anything to write home about, it was a decent flic. Honestly, until I see Halloween 2, Jennifer's Body is the best horror flic so far this year, but again, that in itself isn't saying much. As for acting quality, everyone in the movie did a great job, including Megan. Amidst some cheesy dialogue and a lack of horror violence, it's the acting that saves the movie for the most part. Amanda Seyfried and Megan both pull good weight and really seem to be in character.

Superdog, did you see the movie? I doubt you did, but I just want to make sure.

As far as box office hauls go, poor earnings in the theater seldom reflect the movies quality itself. Fight Club (one of the BEST movies of all time) only pulled 37 million domestically for it's entire run in the box office... that is considered a flop by studio standards, especially with a 65 million production budget. While this is just one example, it isn't the only one by far.

Shaman, don't listen to venom-spewers who would dislike Fox if she were to begin winning Oscars(lol) Megan and Amanda were awesome, and their acting was quite convincing. I can see assholes like some of our good CBM contributors going to see this JUST SO they can try to load up ammunition. Frankly, this 'hate an actor/acteress for the year' bandwagon is getting old.

Macksimus, astute observation! Furthermore, I don't think people who've not seen it yet should be trying to tell people not to see it. No offense to Superdog, but I'm pretty sure he hasn't watched the movie either and this article was just his chance to spew venom, like he and so many others like to do about this chic for the sake of doing it. If you don't like her that's fine, I can't stand Jennifer Lopez so much I'll not see something just because she is in it, but I'm not going to waste my time taking every opportunity to slam her at the mention of her name. It cracks me up that people can be soooo intimidated by someone that they go out of their way to make sure we all know of their disapproval every chance they get.

Cut out all the dialog, cut to the eye candy, then maybe I'd see it for free, but right now you couldn't pay me to see it! Heck, the chick snogging scene was on Leno, anyway. Is there any other point in seeing it?

skidz - 9/22/2009, 12:21 PM
I don't think miss Fox's doing any 'dramatic' roles any time soon. Thank GOD!

Ah well, maybe she'll have to stop being so arrogant and quit kicking the people who actually made her a household name in the first place in the teeth! I still think that porn might be the best way for her career to go..! :D

Myth- Well, i just like to kid around. In all out honesty, i don't "dislike" Fox's acting. As a sexy woman, i'd do her sideways but as a female individual who prides herself on talking smack, i'd jump spin hammer kick her and Paris Hilton in the face. So there's nothing that she has other than her naked tits, that i would pay to see if she wasn't part of a concept that wasn't already near and dear to my heart. I mean, look at it this way, i missed out on Watchmen AND Wolverine at the theaters. I didn't go see Transformers 2 so i'm really not gonna go see this in theaters if there's no full frontal on her part. I'm sure it's a thrilling ride which i won't spew venom on until i get to see it but i won't be paying more than 5$ at a Wal-Mart bin to see it. Oh and just so you don't get too bad of an opinion of me, if she was naked in a dry ass drama like the english patient 2 or somethin', i wouldn't go see it either. I need the tits/decent film combo to ever see one of her stand alone movies.

Shadowelfz - 9/22/2009, 12:56 PM
As I said before... Karma.

Shaman- Agreed, man. Seeing this movie just because she is sexy is a waste of money. If you really want to see sexy pics of Fox, just google her. Its free. If I'm going to see any movie in the theaters, its going to be on the merit of the film itself, not the sexiness of its starlets.
Shaman
Shaman - 9/22/2009, 1:06 PM
Shadowelfz- You got that right! I started hating her person the moment she shat on Wonder Woman. She's been on my "jumping spinning hammer kick her in the face if i see her in a futur trip to LA" list ever since i heard what she had to say about that. It's okay to have an opinion and all, just don't have to be a bitch about it. Karma's an even bigger and badder bitch!!!

myth@ i havent seen it. that is why i did not write i review. i didnt mention anything about the quality of the movie and i didnt disparage it in my article. i simply pointed out that no one saw it. how exactly is that me "spewing venom" as you put it? so apparently to you reporting facts that are bad is spewing venom? im sorry, but based on other movies ive seen her in megan fox cannot act. that is my opinion. if you disagree that is your opinion. but you dont see me saying that your "spewing love". i had plans to see it on friday but they feel through. but seeing as how this IS NOT A REVIEW i did not make any comments on how good the movie was or was not. i simply said no one wanted to see it. so i dont understand you jumping on me an disparaging me and my article. your lucky i dont beileive in censorship or i would delete your comment.

What's with all the Megan Fox hating on this site lately? Because she talked smack about Michael Bay? Who doesn't? Or because she doesn't like Wonder Woman? Really? You're going to get all kung fu on her because of that?

I'm defending her. Maybe she is some of the nasty things some people are saying, maybe she does have a chip on her shoulder because she's hot, maybe she's not too bright. But no one here knows her, so what's with all the judging?

There seems to be a lot glee in trying to take her down a few pegs by some people here. I like this website because people don't act like pr*cks. IMO this hate Megan Fox campaign that's been going on recently ain't cool, and it's sad.

80sFace - 9/22/2009, 2:00 PM
I meant to say "I'm not defending her."

Btw, she's, what, 22 yrs old? I don't think that means that she can't carry a movie or any of the hyperbole about her that this thread implies. Everyone makes movies people don't see.

I really fail to see how the fact that her horror movie didn't do well shows that she "cannot act." Horrible as RotF may have been I think she did a fine job in it.

Whatever you think of her, be it that she is an ungrateful, big-mouthed slut, that doesn't mean she's a bad actress. People just associate such things with people they don't like. And he has proven to be a very unlikeable person as far as the public spotlight goes.
Shaman
Shaman - 9/22/2009, 2:21 PM
80sFace- Well that's my twisted kung fu style of humour for ya but i think that the moment you become a public person, that makes you the opposite of private. If you act like an ass in public, well people are gonna label you as one although you may not be one behind closed doors. Respect is earned. She's made it abundantly clear that she doesn't need our respect. Well we're here to remind her as well as ANY public person that YES THEY [frick]ING DO!!! When we don't respect you, you don't get our money. It's as simple as that. I don't like spending money on bitches and if you act like one, i'm not spending my money on you. I fail to see where i'm the bad guy in all this. In fact i think it's worse to encourage bitches to act like whatever they want to by throwing money and praises at them. I've said the same about Christian Bale and Brett Ratner and i don't see the difference in Megan Fox. Prejudice is wrong but noticing that someone's a bitch and then saying she's a bitch on account of the way she acts is not judging. It's just establishing a fact. I'm still waiting for her to prove me wrong. Maybe you feel that she doesn't have to? Well then i feel i don't have to like her or give her my money. Goes both ways.
