This weekend, starting tonight, we get “Magic Mike’s Last Dance.”
This is part three– and hopefully the end — of Channing Tatum’s “Magic Mike” movies about Chippendale’s like dancers.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 48%, meaning rotten, people didn’t like it. We get it.
But it’s Super Bowl weekend, this is counter programming to sports 24/7. The first two movies were hits, although the sequel did about 50% of the business of the first. “Magic Mike XXL” took in $66 million.
If “Last Dance” falls another 50%, then uh-oh. Warner Bros. is only releasing “Last Dance” to 1,500 theaters. The guess is that soon it will hit HBO Max, and that will be that. Stay tuned tomorrow for preview numbers.
PS Salma Hayek is in this film. She was nominated for an Oscar for “Frida.” She has enough money to start her own production firm and make a couple of movies for herself that are awards worthy. She can do it. She’s that good. These kinds of films are not up to her standards.
