Rihanna has done it again. Universal Pictures’ decision to cast the troubled singer in their latest film “Battleship” has paid off. In just the opening weekend, “Battleship” has earned a staggering $170 million in ticket sales, despite the awful reviews of her first film.
And here’s the kicker: the film doesn’t even open in the United States until May 18!
By the way, “Battleship” can be downloaded for personal home viewing if you know how to find it online. But I prefer to wait until the film premieres in theaters. I predict Rihanna’s “Battleship” will do bigger box office numbers than the Avengers kiddie movie.
From Forbes.com:
“Battleship” is now up to $170 Mil worldwide without US release until May 18th.
“Battleship,” Universal Pictures’ big summer entertainment, cost over $200 million to make. You know it’s cheesy and not very good, so why subject the studio to American reviews? Very wisely, Universal has been opening “Battleship” around the world in advance of its May 18th U.S. landing. And the result: already $129 million in the bank. And more to come. These numbers are from Boxofficemojo.com.
And they tell you why Ron Meyer is so good at his job running the studio. The movie has terrible reviews–it’s scored a 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. One British reviewer simply called it “trash.” Universal calls it “money” and there will enough of it by May 18th to avoid a “John Carter” disaster. This is the new trend. If your movie is bad, play for it people who just need to see explosions and special effects. The movie stars non-actor Rihanna, and “John Carter” hero Taylor Kitsch.
<<<CAN'T WAIT FOR AVENGERS!
YEAH BYTCHES
My boo stay killin dese hoes YA DIG
Keep flying above the haters baby I LOVVVVEEEE U!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Liam Nielson, so I will definitely be seeing Battleship…

This is exactly what I as thinking because I don’t know ONE person that wants to see it. It looks like they didn’t even bother trying to change the special effects from Transformers.
I bet if you look hard enough you see Optimus Prime walking in the background of some of the scenes.
Someone let me know if Rihanna shows some twat or something.

@JMO loving the gravi

Frenchie!
nice gravi 
*sighs* i miss wearing camis
And Sandra Avengers opened 3 days ago overseas and has already done like $140 mil and is on pace to make some serious money. Plus Avengers has major star power, a huge fanbase already and will attract women, men, children and teens as has already been proven. Plus the director has his own built in fanbase that will show out just for him. Guess who’s gonna come out on top between Avengers and this crap above…. not Rihead
Naija, hi
thanks

Isnt it odd that they decided to release it overseas first? Did they doubt it would have success in the US? I haven’t seen a commercial for it yet for it to come out in May. I’ve seen commercials for “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” ALOT and it comes out May 18th as well
Good for her
Hey French
The movie stars non-actor Rihanna

Are we sure that RiRi was the cause or could it have been from the sexy white man that plays Erik on True Blood? CANT WAIT FOR TRUE BLOOD TO COME BACK ON!

You sound happy for the girl. I read a horrible review, but I wonder if it is even possible for a movie to be as bad as that particular critic made it sound. Either way, it’s not my type of movie so I won’t even both to watch it on online for free.

@Bad move to the country and go to the matinee and you’ll pay %6.75
when you factor in the kids/snacks/3d surcharges/gas and all that I’m really not saving much unless I go alone though 
Who pays $6.75 for movie tickets?? I don’t even think thats the matinee cost
@ CD FENTY
I love your avi….GO BULLS!
I seen a commercial of this film and Rihanna is in it for .5 seconds and all she says is “Boom”. Lots of explosions n what not so idk if it will bring me out but Avengers most def will
that joint looks tough.
ion think it’s even $6.75 for senior citizens here

Yt Man: Umm.. everything ok Mr. Smith? I wished you a good morning.

I’m excited for Avengers and a lot of people are, too. I’m sure it’s going to make just as much, if not more, than Battleship.

now the beach. i LOVE going alone. i’m in my happy place there & really prefer to be alone
i’ve turned down many events at bars bc i dont want to go alone. i guess i’m shy. now when i have eaten alone i always have a book to read

Is Rihanna even that good of an actress?
@Fayla
Honestly, I’m that person that will buy something and never use it to it’s full advantage so I can’t call it. If you read a lot it can because there are thousands of books to borrow. Also comes in handy if you shop amazon a lot cuz prime gives u extra shipping discounts and such.
