I knew it wasn’t going to open to $40 million or anything like that. I knew people weren’t waiting to see Megan Fox lead a film in huge numbers… but even I didn’t expect to see something this bad. Despite all the hype and all the marketing, “Jennifer’s Body” only managed to make $6.8 million on it’s opening weekend and come in 5th place on the box office charts.
Can this now end the idea that people will line up to see Megan Fox just because she’s hot?
Not 1 single dollar of The Transformers money came from people going just to see her.
This career will be short. She’s got a deal right now… but as soon as it’s up, you won’t see her leading a film again.
Jonah Hex might do ok at the box office… but if it does anything, I hope this weekend proves it won’t be because of her.
Jennifer’s Body was marketed around Megan Fox. It was all about Megan Fox. It teased us with Fox making out with another girl. It teased us with MAYBE seeing her naked. And yet, still no one went to go see it.
I don’t think there’s anything left to say really.
