'Remember Me' Audience Was All Twi-Hards
Remember Me's opening weekend gets B-grade among Twi-hards.
As we reported earlier, Alice In Wonderland cursed the competition at the box office this weekend, earning $62 million against Remember Me's $8.3 mill. Turns out the Emilie de Ravin/Robert Pattinson audience was almost all female...so why didn't they like the movie more?
Experts are calling Remember Me's $8 million weekend "respectable," and as the film took only $16 million to produce, they're halfway to earning out already. It's said that 84 percent of the Remember Me audience was female and that those girls are giving the flick a B. Here's what's behind the score.
First of all, there's a controversial ending to Remember Me. We won't spill it, but by Monday morning it was receiving some flack from critics and viewers. Plus the plot that's based on life in 9/11-touched New York City is being called a "downer" by some critics...and the Emilie de Ravin effect isn't helping much either.
Fans don't want to see Robert Pattinson cozying up with yet another co-star, even if it's just onscreen. We've given the pass to the Kristen Stewart chemistry because the hero-heroine dynamic between Pattinson and Stewart is what attracted us to Rob in the first place. But seeing Pattinson alongside Emilie de Ravin is not only a little hard to believe (we all know now that he's with Kristen Stewart in real life), it's just not what we want. Robert Pattinson kissing in a shower, okay. Robert Pattinson kissing another girl in a shower? Suddenly it rubs the psyche the wrong way.
How will we feel when Robert Pattinson gets naked with 40 women in the orgy scene for Bel Ami? I don't know if I can bear it. Fortunately I'm off to see his best mate Bobby Long play the Mercury Lounge in New York tonight, so single British boys are still in supple supply. Stay with us for the interview later this week, when we'll give you the inside scoop on Robert Pattinson and his Brit Pack.
