Bana’s Movie Bombs

Bana’s Movie Bombs

Aussie actor Eric Bana shoots a promo in Santa Monica on Friday looking like his usual hot self.

Looking less than hot is his poker flick Lucky You co-starring Drew Barrymore, which tanked at the box office this weekend, opening in sixth place and barely making more than $900K on Friday.

It’s barely going to make $2 million dollars in its opening weekend!

Aaaawww, but it was to be expected when the film opened the same weekend with Spider-Man 3.

It’s not Bana, but Drew Barrymore. She can’t open a film with her one dimentional “pixie charm”. She has ridden her family fame all her life, never developed any artistry of her own.

Thanks JustJ! So good to see Bana looking “like his hot self” again. The not so Lucky You was recorded pre-Munich summer 2005 - and I never understood why they choose that “boyish” look on EB in LY! This one is much much yummier! There are far too many boyish-looking men out there already lol lol!

Thank you JustJ! so good to see Bana looking “his hot self” again! The not so Lucky You was filmed during the summer 2005 pre-Munich! I never understood why they gave EB´s character in LY that “boyish” look! This is much much better! There are far too many boyish-looking men out there already lol lol!

Besane, I was going to post the same thing. The only time you know that a Drew Barrymore movie is opening, is when you see her on the cover of some magazine. Drew and so many of the others are coasting on family name, connections, and being someone’s spouse. After the last Charilie’s Angel movie her career should have ended.

Eric Bana is an actor with amazing range and versatility. Something that is lost on a lot of one-dimensional posers in films today.

Never mind! BTW I’ve heard that the movie is not bad.

Bana, you’re so handsome!

# 7

Damn baby, now he is gonna be a tease? He is so very fine. wipping the drool from my chin. Those pictures of him are just too fine for words.

I am planning on seeing this movie in the threatre. I wanna see him on the big screen again.

He is so good!

BANA is great! Have you seen Troy or Munich? WOW
Its Drew that cant act at all WHY is she still in movies and why was she voted Peoples sexiest woman? Shes about as good of an actor as Cameron Diaz and her only good movies are Shrek

I agree Eric Bana is hot and a good actor. Drew is always in the same kind of romantic comedy movies and she’s not a great actress.

Why is it Eric Bana’s movie that ‘bombed,’ and not Drew Barrymore’s?! LOL Isn’t she the headliner and bigger star? :D Everytime that trailer came on, it made wonder why anyone should see this movie, the lines of dialogue that Drew is saying in it, are so stilted and vapid. I like Drew too. I think she should stick to drama or perhaps black comedy, I think that’s her forte — leave the rom coms to Sarah Jessica Parker, and leave the BAD rom coms to Jen Anuston…or better yet, don’t leave her anything…just make her go away. LOL

But I’m afraid Ms. Orange’s shelf-life as a rom-com “actress” has long expired.

Don't blame Drew...... @ 05/06/2007 at 3:28 pm

I saw it, and she’s hardley in it, the movie is just BAD, too much focus on the card playing and casinos, little to no rom-com…

this man make me crazy with and witout glass

In all fairness, M&MS 2 couldnt compete with Spiderman3. LOL There just arent alot of movies that cater to boys (youngins, tweens, teen or early twenties). This is just their type of movie. But I would have thought the ‘most beautiful’ could have atleast bought in a few more. YIKES!!

Why is she even getting roles? I dont think she is beautiful at all. She is cute. But beautiful. Naaaa. Count that award amongst others that are up for sale.

Sorry boy…..he seems like a nice guy, but he´s lacking the “it” factor.

Eric Bana is the man more sexy hot handsome lovely nice and funny of the world…………… I LOVE ALWAYS ERIC BANA

dont blame the actors blame the people who realeaed to go againsit Spider man its like they dumped it on a weekend like this…… the problem is they set a realse date and move it around like 500 times or move it to next year……. thats why it tanked

dont blame the actors blame the darn Dictore for makeing the movie

Every little boy between seven and 50 love their Spiderman lol - no wonder
it got a huge boxoffice! And although I think the Bana´s sexiness and it-factor is enormous lol, Lucky You imo seemed a rather bad idea from the start!

agree totally @ 05/06/2007 at 7:10 pm

I agree totally. Drew Barrymore is a problem at the box office. Remember “Music & Lyrics”, right. She is poison just like JA. Also Drew is fat, old and not that pretty.

It’s not Bana, but Drew Barrymore. She can’t open a film with her one dimentional “pixie charm”. She has ridden her family fame all her life, never developed any artistry of her own.

thanks for posting the R&K interview i was hoping you’d put it up! i love Eric!

also look there is a sequal most every week at the box office this year its going to be a hard summer for movies this summer

I saw Lucky You, and I thought it was actually pretty good. It was just totally marketed wrong. It’s not a romantic comedy, it’s barely even a romance. It’s a poker movie that deals with father/son issues. And then like almost every movie EVER, there is an element of romance. I thought Eric did a great job (his facial expressions when he’s dealing with his dad are amazing), Drew was… Drew. I wouldn’t dismiss Lucky You based on the trailers or the low box office numbers -neither do it justice.

PS Cute pics ;-)
