HOLLYWOOD
- Movie bosses are scratching their heads after
George Clooney
's much-hyped new movie
Leatherheads
flopped at the box office in its opening weekend.
The football comedy, which
Clooney
directs and stars in, was expected to top the charts this weekend, after an aggressive marketing campaign.
But
Leatherheads
took in just $13.5 million, finishing in second place behind gambling movie
21
, which earned $15 million in its second week of release.
Now bosses at Universal are concerned the movie will fail to make a profit on its $58 million budget.
Universal spokesperson Nikki Rocco tells the
New York Daily News
, "I'm disappointed for
George
. I think he's a great guy and he's got tons of directing talent. I wish I could tell you what went wrong."
