Paris Hilton's new movie bombs - taking just $9,000 over the weekend
Paris Hilton's new movie bombed at the box office over the weekend - taking in just $9,000. That's just $81 per screen - one of the worst box office openings of all time.
Hilton stars in The Hottie and the Nottie, a romantic comedy also starring Joel David Moore, and Christine Lakin, and the movie opened Friday to $9,000 on 111 screens.
In the nerd-meets-beauty comedy, the former Hilton Hotel heiress plays a sought-after babe stalked by a man who has had a crush on her since they were six years old.
By comparison, Fool's Gold, the newest romantic comedy from Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, also opened Friday to $7.65 million on 3,125 screens.
But even though Fool's Gold opened on just over 3,000 more screens, that still worked out at a decent $2,148 per screen.
The Hottie and the Nottie flopped despite a whirlwind three weeks of film promotion for Hilton.
She premiered the film in Hollywood and Dallas, appeared in Philadelphia, at Harvard University, and the Sundance Film Festival, and on talk shows Late Show with David Letterman and MTV's TRL.
Hilton recently spoke about her acting coach Ivana Chubbuck and what she's learned from working with her. "Actors are really great if they've lived the life of a lot of things happen to them," she said of the acting method she uses. "I've had a lot happen to me in my life. Now I've learned to use those experiences in my acting."
Hilton costars next in this year's musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, opposite Paul Sorvino and Alexa Vega.
However, The Hottie and the Nottie does not take the title of the biggest movie flop of all time. Jessica Simpson's last film Blonde Ambition took in just $1,190 in December across eight Texas theaters - or $50 per screen.
The remake of the 1988 movie Working Girl was labelled by magazines as "the biggest bomb of the year" with an estimated grand total of 48 viewers.

First of all they are right.
First of all they are right. She is TOO FAKE.
And the only reasons shes smoking hot (try adding a "g" ,talk about spelling) is probably because her family is wealthy. They can buy her tummy tucks, facelifts, hair extensions. Yeah she's FAKE, HOLLYWOOD IS FAKE. FULL OF PLASTIC. PLASTIC MONEY( creditcards) AND PLASTIC BODIES. JUST A BUNCH OF STUPID BARBIE DOLLS.

whoever wrote "See Paris. Give it up. You can not act because you are to FAKE!!!!!!!!" the to in "to fake" should be spelled too, not to.
Maybe Paris can or can't act but she's smokin' hot so it really doesn't matter. For the most part movies are boring and far too overrated anyway as entertainment. Get out on the ocean or something.
See Paris. Give it up. You
See Paris. Give it up. You can not act because you are to FAKE!!!!!!!!
$1190 per 8 theaters is more
$1190 per 8 theaters is more than $50, it is about $150. Unless there were multiple screens per theater.
Hopefully, the fact that the
Hopefully, the fact that the movie bombed is an indication that the American Public is finally getting sick of this loser. (And I don't care how much money she's got--she's still a loser) And that--hopefully soon--we'll have finally heard the last of her. How much longer will we have to suffer the inaninities of knuckleheads like this in all the media? (And Britney & Lindsay & God knows who else...) White trash with money, that's all they are. Gone are the days when celebrities at least had some integrity as well as some talent.
