It looks as if the power of the NFL might not extend to Hollywood.
From Joey Morona of Cleveland.com:
‘Draft Day’ pulled in $9.75 million at the box office in its first weekend of release, according to industry estimates.
The movie — starring Kevin Costner as the Cleveland Browns GM juggling his personal and professional life in the hours leading up to the NFL Draft — underperformed by many accounts.
Entertainment Weekly called the film’s weekend take a “fumble,” while Forbes described it as “relatively sad.”
Box Office Mojo said Lionsgate was expecting an opening in the “low teens,” while BoxOffice.com projected an opening weekend of $13.5 million.
Its not a great movie- maybe a generous 6 out of 10,,,
My wife and I saw the film Saturday night and we both enjoyed it for what that’s worth to you.
