HitFix – Box Office: Robert Pattinson and Matt Damon’s latest can’t eclipse ‘Alice in Wonderland’
March 13th, 2010 | filed in: Internet/Bloggers, Movies, Press, Remember Me

Even more surprising or possibly telling, was the dismal $3.5 million the Robert Pattinson drama “Remember Me” found in the third spot.  If lucky, the romantic drama could hit $10 million for the weekend.  The film didn’t cost distributor Summit Entertainment that much to make, but they did spend significantly on a marketing campaign that didn’t truly open the movie.  Pattinson’s box office clout will be severely diminished outside of the “Twilight” films until he has a true solo hit on his hands and this was not it.

Coming in right behind “Remember Me” was “She’s Out of My League” which rated a zero with moviegoers. The Jay Baruchel comedy grossed only $3.4 million on Friday for what should be close to $10 million for the weekend.  Like “Remember” this Paramount flick didn’t cost much, but the studio’s marketing campaign wasn’t cheap enough for “League” to crawl into profitability anytime soon.

It’s gotten fairly good critic reviews too, which is why that sucks. Perhaps poor timing? Or word of mouth from some people who didn’t understand the meaning behind the movie & slammed it due to cetain parts

I also think the marketing kind of sucked, to be honest. All my friends thought it was a romantic comedy type of peice for some reason? It’s much more drama centered….and I think it’s pretty 50/50 between Tyler/Ally & Tyler/family as far as the focus..
