Momentum, a New Contender For "Worst Movie Ever," Yields $69 in UK Opening Night
PasteMagazine ^

Posted on 11/26/2015 6:17:58 PM PST by Perdogg

There’s no easy way to define a financially “successful” movie. A lot depends on how much it cost to make, and even then, it’s not as basic as targeting a specific profit margin. Critical acclaim can make up for some lost revenue, as can awards, and then there’s licensing, and digital downloads, and retail, and DVDs, and sequels, and who knows what else. This is an inexact science that resists simple conclusions.

“Momentum opened in ten theaters this past weekend, and made an average of $6.90 at each, with two theaters selling exactly zero tickets. In the interest of fairness, we should mention that it was also made available as a digital download, and that it made more in the UAE ($275,000 to date) and Russia ($250,000 opening weekend). “

It couldn’t possibly be worse than the Dan Rather movie.

Apparently Olga Kurylenko’s bare bottom makes an appearance.

I think the worst movie I ever saw was “Surf Nazis Must Die”.

A close second was “The ET”.

The headline is miswritten by the author.

The entire point of the whole article is about it being The worst OPENING BOX

Uber brief derogatory info on the plot.

It can't possibly be worse than "Horror of the Blood Monsters".

How in the heck can you screw up a movie so badly when it has Olga Kurylenko in it? She could be scratching her nails down a chalkboard for two hours and I would still give it three stars.

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen or maybe I should say TRIED to see since I was never able to actually watch it even though I tried three or four times, was touted as being some kind of cinematic masterpiece and it was titled “Raging Bull”.

It was the worst movie ever. It was the best MST3K episode ever.

“The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra” is a newer one done in the 50’s B movie style.

It’s so bad, it’s good.

I know, I saw “Raging Bull” a few days ago for the first time.

Just saw another one on a free HBO preview which was rated as four stars. It was a really heavy handed piece of leftist propaganda. “Pleasantville”.

As long as the camera angle and light were correct.

He struck terror into everybody who saw him. :-)

A bunch of college guys underneath a rug was pretty bad, but watching the chick sunbathing in the park getting inhaled made it interesting.

"The Creeping Terror" (Cool modern satirical remake with a bit 'o cheesecake.)
