Get it? Do you get it? I’m saying everything twice because Julia’s movie, Duplicity, tanked on its opening weekend. Sigh…I make me laugh.
Here’s the deal: Duplicity is probably a pretty good movie; it pulled in $14.4M. But it’s where society is at right now. We want senseless crap that requires as little processing as possible. I think Dr. Phil calls the food version of this phenomenon Low Response Cost…vittles that you can mindlessly ingest. Therefore, Duplicity was trumped by the #2 bromance flick, I Love You, Man which saw $18M in ticket sales.
Knowing was the number one movie of the weekend, pulling in $24.8M. This film has to do with astrophysics and catastrophe avoidance. Fuck, there goes that whole mindless fun theory. Disproved once again.
Regardless of the reasons for Julia’s decline, what I really can never forgive or forget is Huffington Post’s headline regarding this week’s box office receipts: Cage Creams Bromance And Julia Roberts.
