Fools’ Gold starring Kate Hudson & Matthew McConaghey has been a huge box office success since its release on Friday, it’s estimated to take in close to 23 million dollar by Monday Morning. It was 5 years ago, since Hudson & McConaughey teamed up for the romantic comedy How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days with a $7.96M Friday and a $23.7M opening weekend. Their new release Fools’ Gold is virtually enjoying the same success.

As for Paris Hilton’s The Hottie & The Nottie, it has been nothing but a big box office disappointment.

Both Vince Vaughn and Paris Hilton have added mega-flops to their film resumes. Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show  opened at 962 locations, and averaged only $150 in tickets sold per location on Friday. Based on an $8 ticket price, that’s only 19 tickets at each theatre where the movie is showing. Wild West will limp to an estimated weekend of $433,000 or $450 per location.

Vaughn’s misguided vanity project, however, looks like a blockbuster compared to Paris Hilton’s Hottie & the Nottie. Debuting on 111 screens, it could only muster $76 per location on its opening day. That means that, on average, 10 people purchased a ticket to see this comic disaster at each theatre with the misfortune of having booked it. Hottie will sell only an anticipated $23,000 during the 3-day weekend for a $207 Per Theatre Average. That’s about 26 ticket buyers per location for Friday-Sunday. – Slashfilm
