Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Hollywood frets over the weak opening of Mission: Impossible III.
...Hollywood is left pondering who can still legitimately be called a movie star. Last year, the late Radar magazine conducted a (never-published) survey of agents, producers, and executives. One question was, "Who is the industry's most desirable actor?" Even then, Cruise was not the favorite. "I don't think it's the couch-jumper any more," the head of one studio division said at the time. Brad Pitt won almost by default even though he is hardly a sure thing (Troy, Fight Club, Meet Joe Black), while second place went to Will Smith.
Many of those polled struggled to come up with names. "Is Pixar a man or a woman?" asked a producer after groping for answers. "A Pixar image is the single most compelling image."
"There is nobody who's a star," said one marketing executive. "There are a lot of good-looking people—but they're not movie stars." And that may go a long way toward explaining what Anderson Cooper is doing on the cover of this month's Vanity Fair.

Yeah, cause $48 million is a terrible opening weekend. (Pre-Memorial Day for the third episode of a franchise.)

Well, it was significantly below Hollywood expectations. (I can't say if those expectations were realistic.)

I think that might be the problem. They've gotten used to slapping Mr. or Ms. Bankable on some sequel and expecting there to be stampedes.

I am happy that Cruise's movie seems to be the one that the house of cards tumbles down on, though.

IIRC, it was projected to make $50m (and $2m is pocket change in box office dollars). I think we're mainly seeing a "HA! TAKE THAT, CRUISE! You're crazy and your movie bombed!" reaction.

Plus, there've been rumors (no link right now) that big chunks of the ticket sales for MI:3 were driven by Scientologists buying huge numbers of seats (that are not necessarily filled with butts when the opening credits roll).

Do the studios really care? Ticket money for empty seats will spend just like any other...
