Which Flop Was The Bigger Flop?
Contributed by SJ:
Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez’s music get compared, but has that happen to their movies ‘Glitter’ and ‘Gigli’.
We, as movie goers, have our own way of speaking out and thats whether we pay $8.50 to watch these multi-million dollar production movies. Both ‘Glitter’ and Gigli’ flopped with critics and movie goers but the biggest flop is the money loss the production companies had to face.
In the mean while, questions have arose about these two movies.
Was ‘Glitter’ really that boring or maybe it just floped because of its release date.
Was ‘Gigli’ really the worst movie ever or did it flop because of too much negative press. Below is a in-depth comparison between these two movies:
