I was very surprised by the box office failure of "Whip It" (WHIPT)
Posted by: Peterlee (a.k.a Peterlee (from past)) on Oct 06, 10:29
I'm not in the US. But this film has a very good distributor Fox Searchlight (and Fox Searchlight is clearly putting so much effort to promote this film) This film's star power isn't bad; it has Ellen Page (the lead actress of "Juno") and Drew Barrymore. (Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore also have very much screen times in the tv spots) This film's tv spots also look very entertaining and commercial. This film itself also receives mostly positive reviews.
But this film opened worse than JBODY? I don't understand. Maybe you guys have better insight on it than me.
But it may shows that Ellen Page had better to go Vera Farmiga/Maggie Gyllenhaal route for her career...(focus on doing indie art films .... while doing few mainstream films for money in sometimes.)

That's what I'm saying! I posted that I did not think [WHIPT] was gonna beat [INVLY] according to RS due to ads. {nm} vegasrebel Oct 06, 14:15

I'm guessing it was the roller derby aspect as well...maybe Drew should have found another vehicle for expressing girrrl power {nm} tealfan Oct 06, 11:05
list of what went wrong RazorHawk Oct 06, 11:15
roller derby has been going through a major resurgence of late but it does not appeal to the mainstream {nm} Moviesnob Oct 06, 11:27
