I mean, seriously? This chick cannot catch a break with some people. She does have supporters, but the amount of hate because of her supposedly fake persona and personality is unreal. I feel disgusted to be apart of the human races sometimes especially with shit comments like this.

7.2 million opening weekend (10.3 million including opening day). That puts it slightly above Glee movie but significantly below the JoBros movie.
Objectively, I understand why this is being labeled a disappointment. The JoBros movie was labeled a huge flop but that opened to over $12 million. With summer weekdays + the Thursday opening, it may outgross the JoBros. But keep in mind, Katy's played in 2700 theaters, whereas Glee was in about 2000, Jonas Brothers were in 1200 and Miley played in 683.

By next week it should pass U2, Glee & Madonna to rank as the 5th highest grossing concert film of all time. If it can pass Jonas Brother's $19 million it will move up to 4th place.

Estimated 2.3 million foreign so far. Plus 10 something domestic. Its total should pass Jo Bros (23 million), but not Miley/Hanna, Justin, or Michael.

It's a few dollars extra. I don't know the exact price. Justin and Jo Bros' were both 3D. I don't think Miley/Hannah or Michael's were 3D.

The 10 million includes Thursday, which isn't in the weekend update.

Can't really compare this to documentaries of yesteryear, especially with the 3D surcharge. In any event, this is what you want to look at, in terms of inflation-adjusted numbers (or estimated tickets, which one can look at, too). Plus, number of locations, etc. come into play. boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=musicconcert.htm&adjust_yr=2012&p=.htmBox Office Guru was way off wit hthe prediction- $17 m for the weekend, $24 million over four days.

The movie wasn't a big hit, but it's serving its purpose: getting Katy's name even more out there to the public at large. In fact, the era is actually ending quite fantastically. Look no further than the current iTunes situation. Wow! This era will go down in the annals of Pop music history as one of the most noteworthy for the chart success of all its singles.

I'm having some fun reading the review of her Christian music debut, "Katy Hudson," on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Katy-Hudson/dp/B006HNTS9S/ref=zg_bs_195416011_45"What would be great for Ms.Hudson would be a nice stripped down acoustic/electric band." "I'm hoping for an album that's not over-produced, as I feel this was just a bit over the top." "Her voice is astonishing."

Lol yeah this is not touching Jobro's or Madonna's numbers. Madonna's movie did really well especially if you look at the legs it had. The total for this will probably be around what the Jonas Brother's opened with. Around ~15 million with the declines its having plus the big drop off that will happen next week. You do know Madonna made 15 million, right? So if she's not touching Madonna's numbers, then how could she make the same as Jonas Brothers' opening?

No one is denying her music chart success. I just think it is hard to deny that the performance of this movie was a relative disappointment. Quote: the movie's four-day opening was less than the three-day start for Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience ($12.5 million) even though Jonas debuted in half as many locations. That's considered a notorious flop within the concert movie sub-genre, and therefore Part of Me is going to need to hang on very well in the coming weeks to not receive a similar distinction. www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3484&p=.htm

The link Mr Holiday posted said it made $28 million. Well damn... I thought the Kats would def see this and all the millions of people who have downloaded her singles.. The Kats are big enough to ensure her hit singles, but they're not big enough to give her a hit movie. She shouldn't have turned down her role in "The Help". Oh welps, at least Katheryn got her some cute single/alberm sales out this mess.

All of her diehard fans have gone to see this movie in cinemas except for me since it didn't come out in my country sob, but it's not like Katy has a ginormous fanbase. Her music isn't getting to #1 just because the Cats are buying it, it's because seemingly all of her music clicks with the general public. She doesn't have a major core of fans like for example Britney Spears in the sense that if they all were to buy one song it'd hit #1 straight away. It's not just Perry's fans that ensure her the hit singles.
Plus I'm pretty sure this movie's sole purpose was to gain more fans/sales and to send her into a bigger level of stardom, not to get a hit at the box office. And it's accomplishing what it was set out to do.

I'll be dayuhmmed, indeed!
I know that even by concert-movie standards POM3D is an underperformer but as I saw the album and single going up on iTunes I figured people are spending the money on the music, so in that sense the movie is more than proving itself worth the effort; the money was just going to a different place. Nonetheless, I didn't think her boost would be that big.
I'm still not sure how to feel about it though. It's a little weird b/c I can't imagine that there were many people who went to see the movie and didn't already have the album (and the ones who didn't are probably people like josh who aren't really here for Katy but went with a friend or something). I'm sure there are some people who did have TD, and after seeing the movie decided to buy TCC as well, but would that really account for the majority of that 75k? I get the sense that these are 'new' purchases and if so that's incongruous to the low-ish opening numbers.

There are a few things to consider. There's the obvious first of all - the fact that the album was on sale at Amazon for $0.99, plus TCC was $9.99 on iTunes last week as well. Add to that extra exposure from the movie which translates to seeing Katy's name all over various forms of media. And then add to that the fact that "Wide Awake" is smashing right now and seems to be very well received, probably the best received single of hers since "E.T." Music buyers have that certain threshold of when they will buy an album - perhaps for some it just happens to be the 8th single. It's clear Katy doesn't have a massive rabid fan base like some music stars which explains those low-ish opening numbers, but she does appeal to a wide enough demographic and has garnered enough hits to keep her album around for this long. Truly an era of epic proportions. Can't wait for the album to reach 3 million someday, whenever that may be.

Katy has a banner on iTunes. It's for pre-ordering the movie. Also has all her stuff there, discounted. Music videos are 99 cents, down from $1.99. TCC is $9.99 and OOTB is $7.99. No songs are featured.
I expect this will last until next week so look for another week of her albums and videos being high up on the charts. Expect album sales to drop a lot, though, because the Amazon deal is done. It is done, right?

The movie made $1,355,347 yesterday. It's gross to date is now $12,766,035. I think the movie will end up grossing $20 million in the US by the end of its run.

^The Jonas Brothers had awful weekday sales; this having strong weekday sales will easily push this further than them. Good for her.

I loved the movie. I gained a whole new level of respect for Katy as both a person and a performer. Granted they obviously painted Katy in the best light possible but I think they pretty much "kept it real". Her crying minutes before going on stage and going out and putting on a smile and giving a great performance really made me respect her professionalism. I can't believe that people are claiming that it was a "calculated" move. Is she a robot? Is she not allowed to display emotion? Does there have to be a secret motive behind tears?
What I found most fascinating was the people around her. It was almost comical because they were honestly acting like people that you see in fictional movies about pop stars (i.e. Glitter). "why is she crying! I have no idea!!!" these people are fucking clueless. I'm sure they are good people and care about Katy but it makes you think about whether fame and fortune are worth it but then you see her interact with her fans and that little boy from make a wish in particular and you say "okay, it is worth it. You are making dreams come true." it was a sweet, honest movie and I had a much better time than I was expecting to have. It really gives you a behind the scenes look at what it's like to be in the industry and it's something I would show a music business class or something. It was well done and insightful.

I've heard more positive feedback than negative, so that's really going to help it from completely dying after its first week. Wednesday, July 11: $1,084,017 Total: $13,850,052 From U2: -$5,249,229 {$2,723,700 adjusted} From Madonna: $1,162,883 {$14,392,800 adjusted} From Jonas Brothers: $5,312,688 {$7,287,600 adjusted}

The movie has now made $18,653,444 as of yesterday. The movie should pass the Jonas Brothers tomorrow to become the 4th highest grossing concert film of all time.

This might've been a more impressive feat had the list of concert films (released to theaters) not been so short. I'm interested in seeing her documentary, but not so much that I'm rushing to the local theater. I'll be anxiously awaiting its dvd release!

If it's captured by a camera crew for inclusion in a film which is basically a hagiography, of course it's a calculated move, regardless of whether the emotion on display is authentic or not. The film is doing what it's supposed to, which is advance her overall brand and dominance.
