Devastating news for the people involved with the movie Speed Racer…..it only made 20 million 18 million dollars (actually 18.6 million) over the weekend, which here in the US is seen as a BIG FAILURE. Since movies like this take over 100 million dollars to make, and having noteable directors and producer this is a very big disappointment. But not only that Speed Racer is now seen as the first (and maybe the only) flop of the summer.
Speed Racer came in a very distant 2nd place after IRON MAN which brought in over 50 million in it’s second week as #1. Also Speed Racer barely made it to the second spot beating out the CORNIEST movie of this summer WHAT HAPPEN IN VEGAS (coming in around 20.1 million) by only a 100,000 dollars.
EDIT: Well official numbers are out, Speed Racer actually only made 18.6 million and came in third place behind WHAT HAPPEN IN VEGAS. Sad so very sad.
Rain’s Hollywood debut as for now can be seen as a huge leap for a native Korean, but as for a break out star and in the movie language (money) not so good. Lets just hope he has a better chance with Ninja Assassin.
Also in news Rain’s first feature in a major gossip magazine, PEOPLE magazine is not starting off so good either. People magazine wanted to shed some light on the upcoming star with a Q&A, but the only problem is that they used Karl Yune’s picture (who is also in the movie) instead of a picture of Rain.
WTF! And if you notice the author is ASIAN. You telling me your @SS is asian and you can’t tell the difference between the two asian stars. At least as an writer for a magazine that your getting paid for, and is seen by millions of people you could at least do some research. Actually not even that, but use YOUR FREAKING EYES just a little. IS THAT TO MUCH TO ASK?!
Anyways it seems that Rain’s official US debut as an actor is not jumping off so well. Oh well I hope for a better next weekend. OH SNAP! Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian comes out next weekend. Damn! well better luck with the DVD sells.
