Hollywood’s Latest Bomb? ‘White House Down’ Struggling at the Box Office
Variety ^ | June 28, 2013

Less than a month after Will Smith’s “After Earth” crashed at the box office, Sony finds itself in another predicament with Roland Emmerich’s “White House Down.”

The $150 million action thriller, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, is the studio’s most expensive film of the summer but may debut as poorly as fourth place this weekend with a projected $27 million.

Not only are the early estimates soft for a project Sony bought in a record spec deal for $3 million in 2012, it’s actually worse than this year’s other White House thriller, “Olympus Has Fallen,” which opened to $30.8 million for FilmDistrict on a much smaller budget ($70 million).

I was not really up to it but after some of the smears I got today from FREEPERS no less, we are going.

Hands down, the worst movie advice on the internet is here at FR, so I don't blame you.

Go ahead and see the movie. I don’t mind. If me calling you an a-hole - a term you deserved after the way you acted - will cause you to spend 100 bucks, that’s fine with me. I have even less regard for your cash then I do for your feelings, dumbass.

Also, thanks for the prayers, but most likely they are of little or no avail. Someone who is so self-absorbed and touchy as yourself most likely is in great need of serious soul searching. Remember, you started this. All I said was this:

“Actually it does have to do with Obama - that’s the line the media is quietly pushing. I saw an interview of the actress playing the president’s wife. The reporter started off with something like, “So, you’re playing Michelle Obama.” Those were the first words out of her mouth.”

I really liked Jamie Foxx. Then he made that comment about race. Then last night on OWN channel he said he cares only about what people of color think about his movies. I won’t pay to see any of his movies ever again.

I saw it as well and thought it was mediocre at best. Olympus Has Fallen was much better. On another note...I also saw World War Z and thought it was pretty good.
