I've already seen the Narnia movie, and nothing else in theaters right now interests me in the least. Having said that, there is yet another movie out based on a video game. The movie in question is entitled "Bloodrayne" and by all accounts the thing is a stinker. How much of a stinker? Well, it prompted this take on its initial weekend figures from DatelineHollywood.com:
“According to exhibitor reports, ‘Bloodrayne’ made $0 on friday [sic] and $8.25 on Saturday,†Jack Anderson, president of distribution at Romar Studios told me. “We estimated the film would make $1,999,991.75 Sunday, but as it turned out, we were off by $1,999,991.75.â€
Executives at some other studios complained to me that “Bloodrayne†shouldn’t get credit for its $8.25, as it was paid by a 19 year-old college student in San Diego who bought the ticket in order to get into a sold out showing of “Hostel.â€
There's no word on the identity of this San Diego college student, but if he or she would like to identify themselves, it would be appreciated.
