New at BOP: Review: Matrix Resurrections Movie Review: Moonfall Movie Reviews: Scream The #1 Movie in America November Forecast The Many Saints of Newark October Forecast New Trivia Question All site updates Share & Save   Tweet Print this column

Jim Van Nest: Maybe it's me...but every single movie Jennifer Aniston is in now, looks like it's nothing more than a Friends spin-off. "Rachel Shares an Apartment with Her Ex", "Rachel Meets a Widower"...Jennifer, I'm begging you, give us something new or just stop giving.

Megan Fox will make out with every one of you if you go see her movie.

Kim Hollis: Jennifer's Body, the first film to test Megan Fox's box office appeal, bombed with $6.9 million. What happened here?

Josh Spiegel: I'm slightly surprised by this result; though Diablo Cody is more associated with Juno (for the all-too-obvious reasons), her name being part of the marketing for Jennifer's Body may have confused or put off some audience members. Then again, some people might be tired of hearing about Megan Fox's foot-in-mouth antics, some people might be tired of horror movies about teenagers. I'm hardpressed to think of one specific reason of why the movie flopped. Bad reviews? Didn't stop The Final Destination from doing well. Either way, definitely the most disappointing and surprising result of the weekend.

Les Winan: It's such a disappointing outcome that one can only wonder which genocidal dictator Megan Fox will compare audiences to.

Tony Kollath: I'm not really surprised by this result. Take away all of the buzz surrounding Megan, and this opening is a little bit above what you expect. When you factor back in all of the headlines throughout the year about Megan, you have to consider that most of them, while building her name recognition, didn't do much for her likability factor. The volume of her self-promotion is impressive, but is in inverse proportion to the quality of it. There will likely be announcements that this "bomb" has done a lot of damage to her bankability, but I think it's just evidence that she needs a team to manage her public image.





Tim Briody: The outstanding failure here actually makes me want to move the Doomsday Clock back a minute or two. I don't understand the appeal of Megan Fox at all and I'm glad that most of the country agreed.

Jim Van Nest - I'm with you, Tim. Sure, she's hot. But there are thousands of hot chicks in LA trying to make it in the movie business. And right now, I'd rather see any of them over Fox. I think the big message here for Megan Fox is that America just isn't that into her. This is a rude awakening to let her know that maybe it was the giant robots that made Transformers a success and not her.

Reagen Sulewski: I'd say it's just time for BOP to declare ourselves victorious and move on to destroying Katy Perry.

Max Braden: Imagine the shift in script quality about to come across her agent's desk. From Transformers 4 to Wild Things 4 in just three days. Ouch.

Sean Collier: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes no one sees a movie just because it looks really, really awful. This is rare, but we should all be thankful when it happens.
