Well, I didn’t see this coming, but “The Hottie and The Nottie” had a better than expected performance at the box office this last weekend… In case I’m not laying on thick enough, that’s what we like to call “sarcasm.” Paris Hilton has once again proven to be box office kryptonite.
“The Hottie and the Nottie” by the numbers from /film on Saturday:
Debuting on 111 screens, it could only muster $76 per location on its opening day. That means that, on average, 10 people purchased a ticket to see this comic disaster at each theatre with the misfortune of having booked it.
Even the fact that we wrote a nice little piece on “The Hottie and the Nottie” didn’t help sales. The flick closed the weekend with $25,000 in sales… TOTAL! That means $225 per THEATER for three days! I think more people would have paid to see 2 Girls 1 Cup! (What can I say, people love shit! Literally.)
Attention Hollywood, unless you plan on casting Paris Hilton in a movie that is shot in night vision and she’s naked, anything else is destined for failure. Actually, even another sex tape will probably be a bad investment, based on that fact that just about everyone with a computer has seen Paris’ Hilton.
Here’s the original articles from /film and Daily News.

And let’s be honest…even her performance in the sex tape was nothing to write home about.
