Jessica Simpson's Movie Made Just $384 on Friday!!!
Filed under: Jessica Simpson > Film Flickers



This is quite possibly the biggest bomb of the year!

Jessica Simpson's new film, Blonde Ambition, should have gone direct to DVD. Instead, the stinker got a "vanity run" in 8 theaters in Texas.

Well, as we all know, the people in Texas hate Jessica Simpson these days, and not even fellow Texan Luke Wilson could draw people to the theaters!

Blonde Ambition averaged an embarrassing $48 per screen on Friday for a total box office of $384. Based on an $8 ticket price, that means that 6 people paid to see the movie at each of those theatres, and only 48 people went to see the movie!

That's amazing!

Has any other movie ever performed worse than that??????

Jessica's "star vehicle" will gross just $1,190 this weekend or $149 per location.

Blonde Ambition will be released on DVD in January.

Simpson's next movie, Major Movie Star, is expected to go straight to DVD too.

Merry Christmas!

Chances are, this film had a "vanity release" to comply with some contracts or legal stuff.

A straight to video flick called "Zyzzyx Road" starring Katherine Heigl was shown in one theater in 2006 (it made only 30 bucks! that's right 30 bucks!) so the Producers of the film could say it was technically shown in theaters so they didn't have to pay the actors a higher rate because the film never got released in the U.S.

Or something like that.

ha, that reminds me of a few weeks ago when I said it's too soon for Heigl to be demanding big bucks because of Knocked Up (which I think owed as much/if not more of it's success to the pairing of Rogen and Apatow). I think even if Knocked Up grossed $150 million, you can't forget Zyzzyz Road (and it was released after Grey's became a sensation) for making $30 :lol:
