The risk of a movie flopping could be considered a self-fulfilling prophesy as long as the studio system is only willing to promote and distribute films that are easy to "position" in a generic blockbuster market. It sounds like how the recording industry assess their willingness to do the same for recording artists. There have been plenty of so-called box-office flops that became cult classics simply because movie lovers recognize a good film when they see one. Megalopolis will find a distributor. Someone willing to take a long-term risk on a big-budget indy film, basically. It sounds like it won't be an opening week record breaker, but it will make profit for a distributor willing to buy and hold for the sake of the art of filmmaking. My main interest in the movie is what it could mean for Grace Vanderwaal.
Maddie Ziegler was in West Side Story (2021) Like Megalopolis it had a well known producer (Steven Spielberg) a large budget and it was going to be his baby as the original West Side Story (1961) was a tremendous hit.
Some here may even remember seeing West Side Story (1961)
West Side Story (2021) was a significant financial failure, grossing $38.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $37.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $76 million. The film needed an estimated $300 million in order to break even
Even though Maddie Ziegler was only in it a couple of minutes at most. She did all the promoting for the show going on the late night shows and even representing the movie at the Oscars While the actual Star of the show Rachel Zegler wasn't invited until the last minute after a lot of people complained about it.
Maddie was the star of Sia's Movie "Music" that was a disaster but Maddie still came out way ahead of the game because she got a clothing line from Kate Hudson who was in the movie and is part owner of Fabletics.
Yes it is always best for a move to do very good. But just being in a movie can open doors for someone.
Also directors and producers will be watching Grace acting regardless of how the movie does.
West Side Story was Rachel Ziegler first acting job and she went on to make several movies the last one was
staring in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

Thats right, because she is always marketing herself to her already large, loyal fan base from the reality show days. Being in a movie flop won't hurt her career when she has loyal fan base already. The movie was merely tangential to her career and a side note to her followers. The one thing being in a movie does, even in small role, is add to her resume. The little I've seen of her acting...well...lets just say she has no special natural acting talent. But she can dance, and she is well liked by her fans, so it really doesn't matter if she can act. She's a reality show personality....that's what she sells. And she can dance, which is definitely a talent. |

Why are you promoting Jackie when you hate her? Seems a bit passive aggressive It is just info Where did I say that I hate her..I think that she is a mediocre singer. (as she never really put work into it, develoved) .that her CC music is trash..like 99,9% of CC music..it is not about hate.. Yes, she had some talent..but she wasted it all, did not work on it… she had the totally wrong role models… She is very likely a very nice person..I have no problem with her or her sister whatever.. I only think that her music sucks. |

Jackie's website has two events on it currently. One concert that she had 2.5 weeks ago, and one event that was cancelled probably at least two weeks ago. The two shows she has coming up in less than two months...well...neither one of them is on there. Just bizarre. She should just delete that page from her website...its pretty useless. lol Makes me wonder how much traffic that website gets...mabye is extremely low, which would explain why she doesn't bother keep it up much.

Eulenspiegel that is your opinion that Jackie is a mediocre singer! It’s your opinion not mine ! You have the right to believe what you want, just like I have the right to think Jackie has a great voice!
