Two new movies at the box office this weekend sure stunk up the place.....


Meanwhile, Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star was a bust with an estimated $1.45 million at 1,500 single-screen locations, ranking 15th. That was less than half of Adam Sandler's previous lows as a producer, Grandma's Boy and Strange Wilderness. As low as Bucky went, it couldn't trump the nadir that was Creature.

Creature was one for the record books. At 1,507 single-screen locations, the horror movie scared up an estimated $331,000, which was the fifth lowest-grossing opening on record for a nationwide release and the second-worst in terms of per-location average. To put it another way, it was the worst ever for a movie playing at 1,500 locations or more. Its per-showing attendance was less than six people, though Bucky Larson wasn't much better at a little over eight.

Oh, I hope between that and horribleness of Jack and Jill or whatever, some rethinking will go on at Happy Madison...

*fingers crossed*

I don't know if I have even seen an ad for Bucky Larson. Or I obviously haven't paid any attention. :p

They concentrated on what they felt was their primary market...those who watch Adult Swim, Conan and Comedy Central.

LOL...
Sounds like Adam Sandler is one that needs to save face. The Bucky movie from my understanding comes from his company. :p
