OlderReese Witherspoon’s Mad Dash
Fri, 07 March 2008 at 2:37 pm
Sticking to a tight schedule, Reese Witherspoon makes a mad dash from her car to the Los Angeles set of her new movie, Four Christmases, on Thursday.
Reese’s last film, Penelope, opened last weekend and only took in $3.8 million, which earned it the ninth place spot. Ouch! She produced and starred in the movie.

How she won an Oscar, I’ll never know.
this woman has dropped alot in my consideration since she said she wants her kids to be bullied pppfffff.
I don’t think she meant literally bullied. I think she meant she just wants them to go through what normal kids go through and go through the hards things to make them stronger. She doesn’t want them treated differently because she is who she is.
Also, a lot of times the magazines misquote people.
But I have a lot of respect for her. She seems to be very smart when I see her in interviews, she is a very talented actress, and a great mother to her children.
love her.
If you watched the interview, that is not what she said and was taken out of content. They were talking about the movie and the character Penelope who is an outcast because of her nose. She was asked if she was picked on as a child by other kids, she said yes all kids are picked on, that as a result of it we learn to love ourselves and it give us character. She went on to say that she wouldn’t want her kids to miss out on that experience while growing up because it helps shape who you become and who you really are.
Also Penelope was a Indy film which cost very little to make, Reese has a small role in the movie. So far it has made 11 million world wide, if it takes in 20 million worldwide, plus DVD sales it will be in the green. There were no bigbuget actors on the film and she waved her salary because it was her movie. It was a first time director, producer and writer.
LOVE HER !!!!
SHE SAID “I DON”T WANT MY KIDS TO MISS OUT ON ANY TEASING AND BULLYING” it’s on tape it wasn’t misquoted.
OH and Penelope BOMBED!!
15 million was the production budget add distribution, marketing etc. and it is close to a 20 million budget.
It made 6 million in Europe and 3 million here. It will not break even. They lost money and Reese’s production company lost their deal with Universal. They got picked up by New Line but New Line no longer exists. I doubt Paramount is going to green light any vanity projects for Reese.
She better hope Four Christmases makes money if she ever wants to “produce” again.
She went on to say that she wouldn’t want her kids to miss out on that experience while growing up because it helps shape who you become and who you really are.
Then that IS
what she said
Get Real…Jealous much? :):) Don’t answer that. We know you are pea green. Get a life and movie on down the road .
Troll much Jack?
OhMyGodot how SAD are the haters they even have to come to the Reese posts to see what people are saying and try to spread their hate, get a life losers because you cannot change anything.
Aw. I was hoping that Penelope would be good.

Those of you who are quoting the box office figures, you’re not considering the amount of theaters Penelope was released in. It was only in a little more than a thousand theaters nation-wide, whereas The Other Boleyn Girl (released the same weekend) was in over three thousand theaters. Penelope made more money per theater than The Other Boleyn Girl. Had Penelope been released in three times as many theaters as it was, it would have actually been in the Top 5 at the box office this past weekend.
So, really, it wasn’t as big of a bomb as you all think. With the films that were released that weekend, considering the budget and amount of theaters releasing it (plus the amount of promotion done), The Other Boleyn Girl was a bomb and didn’t live up to expectations, much like Semi-Pro. Penelope did just fine. It could have done better but it still did better than the others.
Recalling my days on the playground (which was only about ten years ago), being teased and bullied was a dose of reality; not everyone in the world is going to be nice. It was the catalyst to developing a backbone. If you want to protect your child from every little thing, enjoy your bubble child. Let them be blindsided and slapped by the reality of unkindness whenever they happen to run into it when they’re older.
Reese rocks.
Penelope had a wide release it was in almost as many theaters as TOBG. Not as many as SemiPro but just as many as about six of the movies that kicked its ass.
Please stop trying to make Reese seem perfect and apologize for every stupid thing she says.
And by the way I have hated Reese for years (long before it became a trend). I think she is pompous, self righteous, over rated and over paid.
Please do not confuse me with the new haterz from camp Gyllenhaal.
I am one of the originals.
I should say dislike. I don’t “hate” Reese but I do not see the halo above her head that so many other people see.
she’s a fcuktard
I saw a piece by a Hollywood insider who says that when studios want to cut a star down to size they get them to produce a picture or direct one, knowing it will probably bomb and damage their reputation. This may be going on with her. Many more flops and she won’t be getting 20 million for a job. She’s getting along in years too. She’ll need lots of botox and a good plastic surgeon.
Why don’t you just come out and say Penelope FLOPPED, just like her last movie, Rendition. Maybe Reese will become humble - NAH. Little Miss Type A Control Freak will be the same arrogant priss she’s always been. Most over rated actress in Hollywood. I am one of the original haters, too. I have always seen through little Miss Innocent. Ryan ran - now Jake should run and save himself.
Annie h - not to be rude, but opening the same day as Penelope was The Other Boleyn Girls (Scarlet and Natalie). Here are the numbers. I’m sorry - but Penelope is a collasal flop. These numbers are through last night, March 6th from Box Office Mojo.
Number 3
THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL
$10,612
1166 theaters
Per theater average $519
Number 11
PENELOPE
$4,649
1196 theaters
Per theater average $174
Penelope had more theaters, and 1/3 the per theater average of Boleyn Girl. It’s a flop. The media should call it a flop, just like they did with Katie’s and Eva’s movies. It’s a flop.
Get Real says She better hope Four Christmases makes money if she ever wants to “produce” again
——-
Speaking of 4 Christmases - huge budget on that one and Vaughn is coming off two big flops - Fred Claus and the total embarrassing disaster called Wild West Comedy Show, pulled from the theaters after a week. And they’re still filming 4 Cs - been filming since December. If anyone can run up production costs, it’s Vaughn. Reese had better hope to Hell that one’s a success or it’s over for her. She and VV are the two most over rated actors in Hollywood.
Penelope was better than I expected. I really loved that movie. It was a disappointment that they weren’t as big of a success as I wanted. Everyone should go watch it!
She’s starting to look A LOT like Kirsten Dunst!! Jake’s influence, perhaps… ?(Dunst is the LOVE of his life)
What is the facination with this fugly woman,her acting skills are just ok not that great.She is the jenny mccarthy look alike i think they were separated at birth. This ***** is not worth 20 mil. are you ******* serious, The jonny cash movie was not worthy of an ocar, the ***** cannot sing her way out of a wet paper bag. Another a hole in interviews these celebs are so full of themselves they actually believe all their hype. I hate when they use that stupid baby voices and wtf talking with their hands ******* ,wtf are they using sign language.a holes. I prefer a bitchy celeb at least you know where they are coming from thse goody 2 shoes are so full of themseves they expect us to believe their hpe they are the worst and laughing all th way to the bank.
She has talent, personality, style and star quality

Bombed again last night. Number 12.
so much for the haters…i think she’s a great person with a a great personality. she might not have deserved the oscar but she’s definitely a good actress!
Penelope was better than I expected. I really loved that movie. It was a disappointment that they weren’t as big of a success as I wanted. Everyone should go watch it!
The idea that the public would want to go see a movie about the problems of a pig-faced woman is ridiculous. Reese shows she doesn’t know what the public likes by producing it.
I find the backlash against Reese interesting. The more she zapped, the more people really look at her and say, WTF is this woman about? Well, Reese is about Reese and no one else, not even her children.
