Having previously dazzled Moopy with her acting skills in 'Glitter' and the success that the era brought for her, we've tentatively been keeping tabs on Mariah Carey's latest cinematic venture: 'Precious'.For almost a year now, the hype around the film has been growing. Having picked up positive feedback from the Sundance Fim Festival in January ("...her fans will be happy to learn she clearly does not embarrass herself..." is, evidently what passes for a RAVE review these days), the film has recently received a limited theatrical release in America.
'Precious' took $1.8 million from 18 screens for an average of $100,000 per screen. In comparison, 'Glitter' made $786,436 on 1,202 screens for an average of $654 (or roughly 100 people per screen).
The film doesn't get a general release until 2010 over here - not that UK delays are a surprise where Mariah is concerned these days. Nevertheless, she is currently embarking on a promotional tour across the main US chat shows which we're following closely.
As the film's buzz and now commercial success continues to grow, check out the 'Precious' thread in the Moopy Odeon forum for the latest news, Moopy reviews and probably a few weight jibes.
