Looks like a plethora of horrible, horrible films were released this week. The two (count 'em, two) major releases were both flops with critics AND audiences. The others were just trifles not even worth mentioning.
Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience was the highest debut, but it only managed to squeeze out a paltry $12.7 million. That's saying a lot, considering the fact that Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, which also flopped with critics, is still #1 in its second week. Sorry Jonas Brothers. I guess there aren't enough tweens in the world to save your event movie. (I can only hope this means the Jonas Brothers are losing relevance.)
Speaking of lost relevance, the other major release (did I say "major"?) was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Yeah. I'm guessing you didn't even know this was a movie. The title itself seems to date the film in the mid-nineties, so the fact that it is a 2009 release completely baffles me. Why not make a film version of a more modern, more popular video game instead? Chun-Li couldn't even eke out $5 million, and it's EXTREMELY difficult to receive a 00% on Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Kristin Kreuk of Smallville and Neutrogena fame, I'm pretty sure this one died before the cameras started rolling.
