Not sure what's so funny. It's not like Aniston is some legendary Hollywood actress like Streep.

Lopez and Aniston are around the same level acting talent wise. Aniston is more respected for Friends, and because she's solely an actress, rather than an actress-musician hybrid like Lopez. I don't have the stats, but their B.O gross probably aren't even far apart.

It was a good movie, too bad.

oh waiT, that's that Ellie Goulding "Still Falling For You" movie that was in her music video?

I knew it would flop, I thought why did Ellie put an old 2000's movie in her music video

Romantic Comedies are all the same at this point. It's to to move on or find a fresh, new concept that isn't cheesy 00's style of movie that everybody has already watched with their mom on TV.

This isn't a Romantic comedy tho

OT: The movie will just barely recoup it's budget. I don't know where the 30 million in marketing came from since I just saw two trailers and tv commerical and that's it.

And btw Mothers day was her flop this year...no one saw that

Thats not bombing...

It's not really her fault Paramount invested 60 million on a seasonal movie of a dying genre. The odds were against them and it was a risk anyway. How many comedies of this kind have crossed 150m this year? Bad Moms, Ghostbusters and...?

The only thing I remotely blame her for are her poor film choices. She is responsible for choosing and taking on said roles and she has a history of terrible ones at that. And that in turn tarnishes her star power/box office appeal

Not all of us can be box office draws like Angelina. Better luck next time, Jen.

They got lucky because they smashed worldwide but not in the US?

The movie was so good! But it is doing just fine, and it isn't "her movie".

And when was the last time Angelina was a BO draw?

She hasn't had one a film be a true hit as a lead since Salt....Maleficent was cuz it was a Disney property not cuz of her...and if the movie is as bad as I heard then the sequel will bomb like Alice 2 did.

Unbroken bombed and By the Sea bombed. If anything both ladies is on the same path...Jen's is just more obvious cuz she does more movies


Besides she wasn't the lead in this....she's not even in the film more than 15 min...won't stop it.

No they got lucky that it smashed in the UK so hard compared to the first two films.

Tea.

[Ryuuchan_X]

That's sad

[Planet Mars]

Isn't this standard for her? She isn't exactly a box office draw so I don't see why this thread was necessary she's basically a former friends actress and ex wife to Brad Pitt.

The first two movies did almost exactly the same in the UK.

They had a great movie which fans around the world had been waiting for. The first two movies already did rather poorly in the US compared to worldwide so the outcome of the third was hardly a surprise (although the US result was realy awful).

Back to the topic of this thread:

I believe they had hoped for more in the US. These comedies tend to do not as well internationally so they must have hoped it would bring in much more in the US.

Thumb by thumb rule is that a movie needs to triple its production budget to break even. Had the movie done 100-120 million in the US (which is not unheard of for ensemble holiday movies) and another 40 million worldwide, they would have been financially safe and could have reaped BluRay/licensing.

Still, this is not "Anistons flop". It is an ensemble movie and there are some big names in the movie (US wise).

Not when By The Sea actually BOMBED

OT: It didn't bomb. It grossed back its budget.

[taylor__fan]

88M with 45M budget..mm..
If its a succes in VOD and other platforms it should be fine, it won't make any profit at all, but the studio will make around the same that costed including promotion and so on

[abrahamjmr]

Office Christmas Party was premiered less than a month ago. It still has some life at the box office and I am pretty sure it will make around $20 million overseas and a bit less worldwide. This type of comedy movies do not gross a huge amount of money overseas.

And Cake BOMBED harder and was an overall embarrassment for poor Jen who wanted so badly to sweep award season.
