Paris: Box-Office Bomber

Posted Feb 9th 2008 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

Paris Hilton was whining for her friend Courtney at Avalon last night -- annoying all in earshot. But perhaps the Hilton heiress needed comfort due to her lackluster ticket sales.

According to Fantasy Moguls, Paris' movie, "The Hottie and the Nottie," opened on 111 screens yesterday, and sold only $76 in ticket sales per location. That breaks down to approximately 10 people per theater. It's anticipated that the movie will sell only $23,000 during the three-day weekend.

Looks like Paris' whining is clearly justified -- she should go straight to DVD next time!

61. What ever happened to this brat's pledge to do charity work and go back to school after her jail release?

Instead she makes a lousy c movie that is the joke of the year! Go figure!

62. Of all the reviewers, I think Ty Burr of the Boston Globe probably was most generous, "The problem with "The Hottie and the Nottie" is - wait, let me start again. The most crippling of the many problems afflicting "The Hottie and the Nottie" is the radical disconnect between the title and our perception of the movie's star. I'm not sure on what planet Paris Hilton is considered "hot" - one that involves hazmat suits and tongs, possibly - but it hasn't been Earth for some time.

This may not be fair. For all I know, Hilton is in reality a demure young thing who spends her spare time contemplating String Theory while knitting fingerwarmers for the lepers of Molokai. Her indelible public persona, however, is that of a - what's the word? Oh, yes: skank. A rich, brainless, clueless skank."

63. It's a damn shame that some people in Hollywood do not have a clue when a person has "NO" talent what so ever. Regardless of their born to wealth status. True talent comes from a person who is born with it or bust their butt to obtain the talent. I can see why the grandfather of Paris is so disappointed in her. In actuality, she does posses a certain talent for the porn industry, as stated in another comment. I give her a 9.5 out of 10 in her oral technique. Must be a real dumb ass to want and produce this movie, if you want to call it a movie.

65. Does this mean that Hollywood will figure out that they are the only ones that think anyone is really interested in Paris Hilton. Being rich and a skank does not make someone a celebrity or interesting.

66. She really needs to get with Hollywood on this....she can be like the BIG male stars who actually spend their own money and buy tickets for the OWN MOVIES on opening weekend!!!! Oh, yeah, she's not that smart. I forgot.
And by the way, what happened to all the "charity work" she was going to do when she got out of the slammer????

67. You are saying OVER --as if she ever was. I'd sooner say UNDER is where she is right now. She is just a disgusting, filthy, rich, spoiled brat. Can't act, can't sing,. can't even walk like a human! SLUT STRUT!
At least Brit has a valid medical excuse.
They say how many bought tickets- wonder how many stayed to see the film? Maybe just bought popcorn and left?
Cry me a river, Paris and drown your sorrows in pig poop.

69. That probably won't even cover a month's worth of Valtrex and coke for her! And nice job on the review Fly ( whichever species you are!- also nice to see the real Kelli posting).

70. I love how united we all stand here in our absolute disgust for her! Warms the heart! Like the warm rays of the sun on a cold day! :-)
