“The Tourist” Posts Dismal Box Office Opening
It had all the star power of a blockbuster film, but “The Tourist” didn’t even make it past the $20 million mark on opening weekend.
The film, starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, posted a disappointing $17 million in sales, a far cry from the $100+ million it cost to make.
Perhaps less-than-stellar reviews had something to do with the lukewarm reaction from moviegoers.
The New York Times stated, "When she {Jolie] first appears in a come-hither outfit and a small private smile, she looks ready for liftoff. She never ignites, and neither does the movie."
And Peter Travers from the Rolling Stone lamented, "In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap."
