Zimbio – Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Flops Put Taylor Lautner in Good Company
September 29th, 2011 | filed in: Breaking Dawn Part 1, Internet/Bloggers, Little Ashes, Movies, Press, Remember Me, Water for Elephants

For the record, I would hardly call Rob’s box office record so far a flop but here is their analysis comparing box office totals between Rob, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.

Taylor

Non-Twilight Projects since 2008:Valentine’s Day, Abduction
Non-Twilight Lifetime Box Office Average: $53.5 million

Kristen

Non-Twilight Projects since 2008:Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways, The Yellow Handkerchief, Adventureland
Non-Twilight Lifetime Box Office Average: $17.8 million

Rob

Non-Twilight Projects since 2008:Little Ashes, Remember Me, Water for Elephants
Non-Twilight Lifetime Box Office Average: $92 million

Their opinion on Rob’s box office totals so far,

While Pattinson has proved audiences will accept him outside the Twilight saga, he hasn’t starred in a homerun yet. His box office average is blown a little out of whack by his supporting role in the fourth Harry Potter movie, but Water for Elephants did turn a respectable profit after opening with a middling $18 million weekend. He didn’t fare as well with Remember Me, which opened with an $8 million weekend.

Pattinson has a decent shot at silver screen longevity. He already has more variety in his body of work than Lautner, and like Stewart he’s happy to work on indies instead of blockbusters. It still seems like all he needs is one big role to put him over the top, but until then he’s happy with a slow burn.

What a whole lot a crud… can’t I say that.. the words written in this article should be thrown back at the writer and let him choke on them.

#1.. Valentine’s Day was full of “STAR” who have their own fan base and TL was in that move for what… you blink and you missed him. So he has nothing to do with the box office.

#2… RM is a sad drama that is made and some of it allude to what happened to the American people… it not something they want to relive… plus those cruddy Critic didn’t want to admit it’s a good story… and by the by the movie cos 16 mil to make.

#3… Kristen only do tiny little Indie movies and the subject matters are all quite depressing. go see the movie and see how good these stories. Both Robert and Kristen’s movie are not shoot em up bang, bang movies where people just want to go to and have a eye rolling, silly little story to forget the real world for 2hr and not true to life dramas.

These articles always make me see red.

I would hardly call Rob’s movies flops. Can these people read or count for that matter. Averages fro Rob is $92 million and for Taylor $53.5 hello? Valentine’s Day was not a lead role for Taylor he was part of a large star cast so that doesn’t count at all. We all know that Abduction is a flop so just admit it and move on. Why do these people insist on trying to cover up for Taylor and this terrible movie. 3% rotten tomatoes accept it and the only people praising this movie are his young fan base. This is his father and PR team drama. Just go back to the drawing board and try something new. Stop trying to drag Rob and Kristen in it. Don’t they know they are doing more harm than good for Taylor. Karma is real and I keep saying it. Look what happened with Zac Effron movie Charlie St. Cloud. They kept trying to compare him to Rob and was saying stuff like oh Rob is done and Zac is back right. Well, Zac movie lost money big time. RM made half its budget back opening weekend ($18M to make) and went on to triple its budget. The critics used 911 to scare people from the movie rather than realizing it was a story that ended with the tragedy and WFE is still playing on airplanes and so far has a total of over $120M so they need to just accept the facts and move on.
