Despite the good reviews, Spike Lee’s remake of the 2004 ‘Old Boy’, it completely bombed in the box office this past weekend. God bless Spike. I would definitely blame the lack of advertisement.
Reports Business Insider:
The film may have opened in 583 theaters this weekend, but, in comparison, “Dallas Buyers Club” in 696 theaters has made nearly $2.6 million in one weekend.
It probably didn’t help that right before release an artist came out claiming Spike Lee stole his artwork for the film and presented it as his own. Though Lee dismissed the claims, people across social media were angered, smearing the film’s FB page with notes to boycott.
Despite that, both “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and Disney’s latest, “Frozen” helped set a new record for the box office Thanksgiving weekend. Both movies combined made more than $200 million over the course of five days.
