The supernatural thriller The Forgotten led the North American box office opening to $21M from 3,104 theaters, according to final studio figures. Averaging a robust $6,773 per location, the Sony title stars Julianne Moore as a mother whose life isn't what she always thought it was. Gary Sinise and Anthony Edwards co-star in the PG-13 film.
If I wanted to convince myself of the fantasy that Pepcé was the world's biggest star, I'd also be pressed by P!nk who sells more albums, has global hits, and a higher grossing tour.
And by Rihanna who sells more albums, has global hits, and a similar tour average.
And by Britney and Gaga who had career peaks that are ten times as incredible as Pepcé hers.
And by Katy who keeps churning out global hit after global hit while Pepcé struggles to get her first.
P!nk = Artist that sells and yet nobody talks about it or cares
Rihanna = Irrelevant in the biggest music market outside of singles and still being outsold and outgrossed by Beyoncé
Britney = Washed up hasbeen who can't sell a single or an album and is now residing in Vegas
Gaga = Cyndi Lauper with touring power (that's she obviously lost now) that's selling less than the "local" girls
Katy = Doing well but still being outsold and outgrossed by Beyoncé
Beyoncé = Repeaking, breaking records, racking up critical acclaim, outgrossing and outselling the girls without lifting a finger 13 years into her solo career and 17 years into her overall career
If I wanted to convince myself of the fantasy that Pepcé was the world's biggest star, I'd also be pressed by P!nk who sells more albums, has global hits, and a higher grossing tour.
Beyonce really fooled us for a minute into believing that she could compete with the biggest pop star in the world, when she dropped her album. I guess media hype can only do so much.
