Will The Last Song be
Miley Cyrus Hiroshima?
Opening date changed 3rd time
Now Wednesday, March 31

Once more The Last Song, Miley Cyrus' 2010 movie, has changed its opening date. Originally due out in January, then April 2, the opening date has been changed to a Wednesday, avoiding direct competition from Clash of the Titans and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?

Personal prediction is Cyrus' movie may, just may, do $40-million opening week - with the mid-week opening included (gut tells me not even $25-million). Yet Tyler Perry will win at the box office.

I Love you Beth Cooper
Opens in fifth place
As predicted, it bombed

When will movie producers learn? This is not the 20th Century and marketing needs to be done differently. What started out with great promise in the spring ended in calamity this summer weekend.

While High School the Music 3, Hannah Montana the move both ended around $45-million their opening weekend – and 17 again did $24-million its first weekend, April 17 – I Love You Beth Cooper opened at fifth place, grossing, ready for this(?) - $5-million!

Thought this would be the movie that would give Harry Potter competition. It finished behind Public Enemies, a movie I haven’t even heard of . It finished behind the Twilight New Moon trailers!

What could have been if they had talked to Marketing Sociologist!
