UPDATE: “I Love You Beth Cooper” IS Being Screened For Critics
Posted by John Campeaon 02. 07. 2009in News Chat
As some of you may recall, the other day put up a post letting you guys know that I was contacted by a PR person who informed me that the new movie “I Love You Beth Cooper” was NOT going to have press screenings. I basically said (correctly so) that not screening a film for press is essentially a studio admitting the movie sucks. It is the ultimate show of no confidence in a movie.
HOWEVER, a few days later i was contacted by a rep from Fox to assure me the movie is indeed screening for critics, and even sent me the date and times for the screenings. I forwarded this new person the original email I had received… I’ve still never been told what the deal was with that first email I got… but it doesn’t really matter. So, I thought it was only fair that I let you guys know that Fox is indeed screening “I Love You Beth Cooper” for press in advance. I still have no idea if the film is great or horrible, but at least the studio is showing some confidence in it.

at least they are showing confidence like you said. thanks for the update. I still don’t see it making 10 M opening weekend, and it doesn’t help it’s opening next to Bruno
I disagree. I expect it to break 10M.
So… the movie is good now?
Read the post man. I wrote: “I still have no idea if the film is great or horrible, but at least the studio is showing some confidence in it.”
You might be expecting too much there.
And this is probably another dumb question, but how do we get avatar pics on the right there?
I can’t believe that chris columbus went from big family movies to something cheap like this movie.
I am looking forward to his adaptation of Percy Jackson and lightning thief although I have heard he took some characters and storylines from the later books and added in the first movie. But ah well.
I wonder if FOX simply changed their minds…
But actually this does make more sense, because Columbus is the producer/director with a long track record.
Doesn’t matter, it still looks like shit and I won’t see it.
Just slap “From the director of Harry Potter” on the poster and you’ve sold a few tickets.
hahahaahahahahhaaha, good one
Fox is classy studio I guess? lol that doesn’t sound right
but ya I wouldn’t be surprised if they slap that title on Percy Jackson movie.
