Box Office watch: ZOOM crashes

0 Comments POSTED ON Aug 14 2006 AT 1:48 pm BY Beat

“Zoom” opening was one of Tim Allen’s worst, ahead of only “Joe Somebody” and “Big Trouble.” Per-play take was a dismal $1,839 at 2,50. [sic]

Not really suprising. I didn’t even know it was coming out this week. I didn’t see one TV spot or billboard or hear one radio spot. I think the go-to “blame the marketing” excuse might be legit this time…

And the trailers just looked bad. There were some decent ones just prior to the movie coming out, but I wasn’t aware the movie had come out already.

I’m going to try to see ZOOM this week at a matinee. The only other films worth seeing at my theatre this week are MIAMI VICE and TALLADEGA NIGHTS. (I’ve seen the latter; will see the former.) I love movies. I’ll see anything, from MONSTER HOUSE (liked it) to THE DESCENT (which hasn’t opened here yet, unfortunately).

Anyhoo…

Well, the old “blame-the-marketing” excuse here may just lead to a sort of chicken-or-egg questioning:

Did the movie crash because the studio didn’t market it enough; or did the studio decide not to spend a lot of time & energy marketing it because they realized, well, it wasn’t all that good and would therefore tank at the box office?
