Box Office Report 12/21-12/23

It really is funny. I've been quoting it all week. It did really seem like a Will Ferrell movie, though. And I like John C. Reilly, but it felt like he was doing a Ferrell impression at some points.

Walk Hard should have been a post christmas release than pre.

Sorry this took so long to get to, but I've been busy.

 

Anyway, we have two movies joining the sub $1,000 PSA club:

 

The first is Blonde Ambition, which was a Working Girl ripoff starring Jessica Simpson and Luke Wilson. The movie was released in only 8 theatres in Dallas for contractual reasons, it was going to be on DVD in January, unless it caught fire. It didn't. Here's some articles on it:

PSA was $165.

 

The second is Flakes, a movie released by IFC starring Zooey Deschanel.

 

The plot from imdb: Aspiring rock musician Neal Downs (Stanford) manages a cereal bar. Stylish Miss Pussy Katz (Deschanel) is the creator of radically-themed art clothing. When the cereal bar, brings in an offbeat crew of locals, who debate the arcana of cereal history and ideal milk/flake ratios, an aspiring capitalist rips off their concept.

Good lord, those both sound absolutely horrible.

I've watched 22 minutes of Blonde Ambition so far. It's what you expect
