The bad news it is for Worst Opening of a Movie in Wide Release from a major studio. According to Box Office Mojo, We Are Your Friends made $1.8 million this weekend even though it was playing 2,333 theaters. That is average of $772 per theater. Ouch.
On the plus side, he knocked Vanessa Hudgens’, his High School Musical’s co-star, film Bandslam out of the Top 10 Worst Wide Opening releases. That was nice of him.
When it comes to We Are Friends, there was barely any promotion for it and judging by the trailer, there’s no reason to see it in theaters. It looks like a movie that would air on ABC Family over the weekend. Too mature for the Disney Channel and not mature enough for Lifetime Movie Network.
