Ouch! Evan Almighty, a movie with a reported production budget of $175 million (and an additional marketing budget of $40 million, making it the most expensive comedy ever) had an opening weekend gross of only $32 million!!!The movie's executives have been busy making statements like "this is the kind of movie that will have legs over the next few weeks"...ummm, unless those legs can kill John McClain, poison lovable French rats, crush the Transformers, petrify Harry Potter, and eat Bart Simpson's shorts, I'm thinking someone just got their glasses tinted with a nice rosy color.
Let the movie executive firings begin!
[NOTE: This massive box office failure should in no way be contributed to Steve Carell. He is a comic genius and shall remain unharmed by the colossal failure that is the over-budgeted, over-cooked movie Evan Almighty.]
