Material Girls Will Only Play at 1500 Theaters

According to Box Office Mojo, Material Girls will be shown at an estimated 1500 theaters when it opens on Friday, August 18. For those of you who don't follow box office results, this number is very low. Most major movies open at 2500-3000 theaters, while the biggest blockbusters get played at 4000+ locations.

The low theater count is more bad news for Material Girls' box office expectations. Fierce competition from other movies, low theater count, lack of promotion, and Hilary's recent poor track record at the box office are all signals that lead me to believe that Material Girls won't make very much money at the box office. I hope I'm wrong.

Material Girls Commercial Now Being Played on TV

In my last post I said there were no TV commercials for Material Girls yet. I think I spoke too soon. A 30 second commercial is now being played on mostly cable channels. It might not be much, but at least Material Girls is getting some promotion.

More Box Office Competition for Material Girls on Opening Weekend

The movie "Accepted", which was supposed to be released on August 11th, will now be released on August 18th - the same day as Material Girls. Before this, the only other major release on August 18th was Snakes on a Plane. The added competition that Accepted will bring can't be good for MG's box office prospects. Accepted is a teen comedy and will probably attract some of the same audience as Material Girls.

Despite being less than two weeks from opening day, we still haven't seen very much promotion for Material Girls. Some people have reported seeing movie posters displayed at shopping malls, but that's about it. No TV commercials have been seen yet.


Accepted will now open the same day as Material Girls.
