Only Difference is this time nobody will point fingers at Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie for it's failure.

But when Knight & Day underperforms domestically everyone is ready to jump on Tom Cruise and say he has lost his star power. I am willing to bet anything had Knight & Day been released on The Tourist's date with the Christmas Money Train just around the corner it would have been a $100 Million Grosser domestically as well. 

I think The Tourist on the other hand will make it to around $90 Million because of the extremely strong weekday numbers which the holiday season is going to provide. Kinda like what happned with "Yes Man" back in 08 despite belonging to a different genre.

 

The Tourist completes the trifecta of floppage, following Killers and Knight & Day. Audiences to Hollywood: Enough! {nm} HarryWarden Dec 11, 00:55

Knight and Day was Fox's top grosser for the year and did over $250 million worldwide {nm} mickpix Dec 11, 01:05

i missed the part which justifies Knight & day's performance as praiseworthy !! naughty Dec 11, 03:13

That RESE4 worldwide number is baffling. 55M from Japan alone. Jelly Dec 11, 04:11

it was 3D. Doesn't that always mean more money for the same amount of viewers? {nm} Lucas73 Dec 11, 04:14

Yeah, but it's still surprising. It's never been a major player here. {nm} Jelly Dec 11, 04:22

Nothing personal, but why are you even on this site if you can't be bothered trading stocks? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Dec 11, 04:15

Here is a MOVIES broad (which allow anyone to discuss anythings about movies) {nm} Peterlee Dec 11, 04:32

True, but there are a lot of boards out there without an associated game if someone just wants to talk movies. shadowking Dec 11, 05:09

Not many online movie boards have many 'insiders' and smart people like here {nm} Peterlee Dec 11, 05:16

Studio execs and trades will, so Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie would lower their upfront salaries Peterlee Dec 11, 05:23

The Headlines will probably be more about Bad Reviews and Weak Content than their Star Power. TheSaint666 Dec 11, 05:38

Deadline Headline: "The Tourist Bombs Even with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie" {nm} secretstalker Dec 11, 06:02

What is the genre of "The Tourist," by the way? Is it "crime romance," as the appeals to Hitchcock suggest? "Travel romance"? second gary Dec 11, 07:29

The studio compared it to classic films like "To Catch a Thief." Problem is, people nowadays don't really have an interest in that {nm} HarryWarden Dec 11, 12:37

I wouldn't pay $1 to Redbox to watch AJOLI in a mediocre film, I was willing to see Knight and Day and buy DVD because of CDIAZ {nm} TheSureThing Dec 11, 07:31
