Jennifer’s Body Opens To Less Than $7 Million

— Posted by John Campea

I knew it wasn’t going to open to $40 million or anything like that. I knew people weren’t waiting to see Megan Fox lead a film in huge numbers… but even I didn’t expect to see something this bad. Despite all the hype and all the marketing, “Jennifer’s Body” only managed to make $6.8 million on it’s opening weekend and come in 5th place on the box office charts.

Can this now end the idea that people will line up to see Megan Fox just because she’s hot?

Not 1 single dollar of The Transformers money came from people going just to see her.

This career will be short. She’s got a deal right now… but as soon as it’s up, you won’t see her leading a film again.

Jonah Hex might do ok at the box office… but if it does anything, I hope this weekend proves it won’t be because of her.

Jennifer’s Body was marketed around Megan Fox. It was all about Megan Fox. It teased us with Fox making out with another girl. It teased us with MAYBE seeing her naked. And yet, still no one went to go see it.

I don’t think there’s anything left to say really.

    Just a really really bad script. sorry diablo but that was awful.

    I only went to see it coz my male friends wanted to see megan fox. Im not her fan and i dont think she has a lot of talent but most people (by people here i mean horny guys) that i know went to see her.
    I wonder how bad it would have done without megan…

    Wont go see this pathetic, stupid movie ever! They seen how popular Twilight was and tried to do another vampire movie. Forget it Jennifers Body you will never be Twilight or anything close. The Twilight Series has morals and is a movie young teens can go to, on the other hand this movie is crap! It just goes to show what the public really wants is good, clean movies! I dont think Megan Fox will win any awards for this one. Her body just cant buy these ratings hmmm?

    that’s what I believe was the mistake, if they market a movie around a hot girl, its like whats the point? I will just go online and look at naked ladies for free.
