What happened to “The Fabulous Four”?
Bleecker Street sent the Jocelyn Moorhouse comedy into 1,045 theaters yesterday and no one’s heard from it since then.
The movie starring Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Megan Mullally is now on a movie milk carton.
Bleecker Street has reported no box office numbers at all.
This poor movie has really suffered. It has lousy reviews — 27% on Rotten Tomatoes. Midler and Sarandon wouldn’t do publicity together over the latter’s pro-Palestinian anti-Israel stance. Then Midler, a friend told me, left the country to get away from the whole mess.
Now the movie has gone MIA. Maybe tomorrow we’ll hear from someone. But the news won’t be good. No one takes any comfort in a movie doing poorly, especially one with gifted stars. But “The Fabulous Four” will likely hit streaming in the next couple of weeks.
