The non-existent hype for Maleficent.
Angelina is box office poison and better known for getting her bones out on the red carpet rather than her (tragic) filmography. Fun while it lasted.

Maleficent looks so bad, I was cringing throughout its trailer at my showing of Godzilla. And her accent sounds so weird, especially when everyone else has a British accent in it...did she just try to do one and fail miserably?

Maleficent is definitely going to underperform, I mean nobody even talks about it anymore.
This year won't be the comeback of Fraudgelina

The movie looks pretty dark for a supposedly 'family-friendly' Disney movie.
Kind of confusing, just like Jolie's career

Angelina is coming for that Razzie nomination. She's so hammy and the trailer is embarrassing.

A very brief moment of relevancy before shooting down the box office Top 10.
The promotional timing was off. Should have saved that buzzy "Dream" or "Wings" trailer
for The Billboard Music Awards. No one is even thinking about "Maleficent," right now.

Poor things. Especially the fans of that Brittany Spirits or whatever her name was.

Angelia Jolie's fantasy epic “Maleficent” has over-achieved for Disney this summer, and is wracking up the milestones.
It's about to cross $430 million at the international box office and, with more than $215 million domestically, it is nearing $650 million worldwide.
“It had a cool concept and great marketing,” Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian told TheWrap, “But it had the perfect star, and that made the biggest difference.”
It debuted to a better-than-expected $69 million and has displayed extraordinary staying power at the domestic box office since.
Like the rest of the summer's No. 1 movies, it fell out of the top spot in its second week. But unlike the others, most of which saw steep drops after their openings, “Maleficent” has remained in more than 2,500 theaters and its grosses have fallen off just 50 percent, 46 percent, 30 percent, 35 and 26 percent in successive weeks.
Audiences for “Maleficent,” an update on Disney's classic animated tale “Sleeping Beauty” told from the perspective of the evil queen, skewed family and female. But you don't hit the numbers it has without attracting men, too.
“A lot of that is Angelina, who men love and women admire,” said Dergarabedian. “There's not a lot of stars out there like that.”
