Mandy Moore, Robin Williams and that weird looking boy from the office suck
The cast of "License to Wed" are setting new records! For biggest box office bomb in history lol. License to Wed was released Wednesday with an estimated 2 million dollars. Transformers continues to rape the box office with 66 million dollars in 2 1/2 days. The next Tom Hanks... I THINK NOT John Krasinski. Looks like Mandy Moore can add one more movie to her list of unsuccessful projects and Robin Williams can maybe quit with the bullshit and retire.
License has quickly turned into a disaster of Lucky You proportions. Critics hate this movie, which star Robin Williams, Mandy Moore and John Krasinski from NBC’s The Office. At last check, License to Wed was rated just 10 percent Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews range from awful to cruel.
Some Reviews from the Film
-License to Wed is the worst idea for a studio comedy since last year's equally dreadful Failure to Launch
-There's bad, there's awful and there's horrible, and then somewhere beyond that, in its own Kingdom of Lousy -- where all the milk curdles and the jokes aren't funny -- is "License to Wed," the latest ghastly exercise starring Robin Williams.
-Comedies don't get much lamer than License to Wed. Working from a flawed premise with characters lacking credibility and plot turns more moronic than funny, the movie flatlines in about 5 minutes." -- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
-"[Robin] Williams has become a comedic glass ceiling, a black hole of laughs that guarantees every scene he's in will make nails on a chalkboard sound appealing." -- Matt Pais, MetroMix.com
To look at License to Wed's tracking, an easy comparable is Because I Said So, the Universal romantic comedy from February. Both films star Mandy Moore, both are rated PG-13, and they both feature a fifty-something co-star with multi-generational appeal (Diane Keaton in Because I Said So) and both films bombed in epic proportion style.
Numbers for Wednesday
1. Transformers (Dreamworks/Paramount) -- $30 million [$39 million cume]
2. Ratatouille (Buena Vista) -- $7.85 million [$62.4 million cume]
3. Live Free or Die Hard (20th Century Fox) -- $4.6 million [$57.3 million cume]
4. Evan Almighty (Universal) -- $2.11 million [$64.9 million cume]
5. License To Wed (Warner Bros) -- $2.05 million [$2.05 million cume]

Edit: John Kras fans are scary
