White House Down bombs at the box office

[The Frozen One]

The Channing Tatum-Jamie Foxx action epic brought in about $9 million from 3,222 theaters Friday and is on pace for a $25 million three-day total. That's about $10 million less than the analysts projected and not the sort of opening you'd hope for from a $150 million movie.

It looks to be one of the worst major openings for director Roland Emmerich, who's had big debuts with apocalyptic epics before, including 2009's "2012" ($65 million) and 2004's "The Day After Tomorrow" ($68 million) and 1996's "Independence Day ($50 million).

Reading the comments, it looks like Jamie Foxx was being blamed for people not wanting to watch the movie.

GET OFF MY JORDANS!!!

shyt was a recipe for disaster

AND a black president being Jamie Foxx?


If it was Denzel it would have had a chance, but cacs still mad at Obama being in office. You gotta have a nikka like Denzel in Foxx role if you want it to get good money.

And what is Emmerich's obsession with blowing up the white house???

What was Jamie fox doing, he went from Django to this. His hair looks all messed up like its a wig, and his acting is terrible. He can't play that type of character.
