Lindsay Lohan can chalk up “The Canyons” to pre-rehab mania. But the Paul Schrader directed, Brett Easton Ellis soft core porn extravaganza is done at the box office. After debuting last week, this week “The Canyons” box office fell 28%. That makes its total just $30,100.
Coincidentally, that’s the same amount rehab facilities were offering Lohan if she cleaned up with them.
Lindsay topless and looking uncomfortable, real life porn actor James Deen frontless and pantless and unable to perform (I mean act) added up to a disaster of a film that shouldn’t have been made in the first place.
IFC Films took a gamble on it becoming a cult film by paying nothing for “The Canyons.” They got nothing in return. The upside is that Deen goes back to oblivion. Lindsay can focus on turning her career around. There’s no place to go but up after “The Canyons.”
