Magazine Dreams Dismal Box Office


Last week Jonathan Majors' new movie Magazine Dreams opened in theaters, his first film since his conviction on domestic violence charges [click here if you missed that].

While critically acclaimed Magazine Dreams disappoints at the box office...

From Deadline   
Magazine Dreams starring Jonathan Majors is eyeing an estimated $700k weekend in 815 theaters, solid in NY, LA and a handful of urban markets but below the $1 million Deadline hears the distributor had initially been hoping for given strong engagement online with the film, which has a 91% verified audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (81% with critics).

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Lots of movies that are Oscar nominated do poorly at the box office. I've heard it's Oscar worthy so I don't expect a big box office push.

Wait until it hits streaming.

The movie was good and Majors gave an Oscar-worthy performance. But, because the Academy is so political, I doubt he gets a nomination. It would be a shame, though.

If he gets an Oscar nod they'll likely strategically release another damaging report and wait for him to crumble. They wanna see him fail real bad. Hollywood games.

I have not seen one advertainment about this movie. He was doomed before it came out. LOLO

The Promotions Were Very Poor... It Was Not Advertised So That Folks Would Know That It Was Premiering... ZEUS Needs To Do Better...

Definitely no marketing budget. I didn't know it was out. Why do you think Hollywood wants him to fail? He brought on his downfall all by himself.

Because Hollywood has forgiven bigger sins and sinners. See Roman Polanski, Charlie Sheen, Woody Allen, etc. etc etc.

I don’t have movie money in this economy. I’ll wait until it streams.
