Who ever said Amy Schumer was a movie star?
She's now starred in three films.
Only one was a hit -- TRAINWRECK. In that film, she co-starred with Bill Hader. It made $30.1 million in its opening weekend (and $110 in the US overall). Then came SNATCHED which made $19.5 million opening weekend ($49 million in the US overall). And now it's I FEEL PRETTY which opened with $16 million. See a pattern?
She's not a movie star.
She's not anything.
She was a basic cable loud mouth who was fawned over and treated like she was a movie star when she can't deliver. As of right now, with her second weekend for I FEEL PRETTY, it still hasn't made back its basic budget of $32 million (it's at $29.6 million).
She's not a movie star.
She's not likable, she's not attractive and, point of fact, she's not funny.
A basic cable show on COMEDY CENTRAL was mistaken for success on a real network and we're all paying for that now. At its height, it could pull in a million viewers. By seasons three and four, it was more often pulling in a half-million viewers. That's not a success. That's not a star vehicle.
By the time she was starring in films, it was obvious she wasn't a TV star. Now it's obvious she's not a movie star.
