The new biopic of the late Apple creator and tech visionary Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher bombed at the box office on its opening weekend. According to the WSJ, “Jobs” appears to be Hollywood’s version of the Apple Lisa.
Ouch.
The movie opened in seventh place, generating only $6.7 million despite opening broadly in the U.S. and Canada.
Critics characterized “Jobs” as lacking any of the attention to detail or stream-lined focus that Mr. Jobs brought to his projects.
Although Jobs appears to have missed the mark, a second movie about the iconic CEO is now in the works. Written by Aaron Sorkin and based on Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography, this presently-unnamed film will probably do much better than "Jobs" at the box office.
