Jem And The Holograms Flopping At The Box Office

The prediction has some true. For those who are in the dark about this, the movie Jem and the Holograms, based of the 1980’s cartoon was released last night and from the looks of things, its bombing BAD at the box office and in movie reviews.

From what’s been said it’s nothing but a generic girl band movie but plagued with an obsession with social media. This movie unfortunate suffers the same fate as movies such as Dragon Ball Evolution, The Last Airbender, and most recently Fantastic 4.

Ron Chu or whatever his name is needs to be banned from ever directing again since it seems like he can’t follow source material. I seriously wonder how do you make a movie adaption but fail to follow the source material. I understand creative license, but from what I’ve read it’s a complete disaster.

Before I forget there was a bold statement saying this movie would make at least $5 million this weekend but since this movie has only made $34,000 so far I doubt that will happen. Even the new lame Paranormal Activity has made more than this that their ratings are a tad bit worse. So far it has a 22% on rotten tomatoes with most critics ripping it apart.

To the people looking to want to direct in the future, if you do adaptions, make sure you follow as closely as you can to the source material. Trust me it will benefit you in the long run.
