Julia Roberts Jennifer Aniston Movie Set for Disastrous $8 Mil Weekend

Share

Eight million dollars? That might pay all of Julia Roberts fee and half of Jennifer Aniston’s. But it won’t help their movie Mothers Day which is bombing at the box office this weekend. The total take is expected to be 8 million or under.  If you gave your mom a gift like that, she’d exchange it.

The Jungle Book is still number 1.

DOA: “Criminal” is a bust for LionsGate. And here’s an irony: Tom Hanks (with Rita Wilson) produced Nia Vardalos’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.” They’ve made $80 million worldwide. Not bad! On the other hand, Hanks’ own film, “A Hologram for the King,” is a stiff. What can you do?
