Katie Holmes' new film 'Mad Money' bombed at the box office this weekend. Katie stars alongside Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton in the comedy flick - but according to preliminary estimates, the film only came at No. 5 with only $2.3 million in ticket sales.
Cloverfield, the sci-fi monster flick, was the box office champ, taking in a cool $16.8 million at the box office.
No. 2: Katherine Heigl's romantic comedy '27 Dresses', with $7.7 million in ticket sales.
Jack Nicholson's new comedy 'The Bucket List' ranked No. 3 with $4.2 million, while the indie comedy Juno came in at No. 4 with $3 million.
Katie's performance in the film was panned by critics, with the New York Times calling her “the movie’s weakest link.”
Another critic said of the film: "This isn't quite the best from the big guns like Keaton and Queen Latifah nor is it hot enough for Katie Holmes. But moments of spunk suffice to carry the film through, with Keaton leading the bratpack through some heady mayhem."
On making the film, Katie said earlier this month: “We had so much fun.
"I would get so sad when I had to go home at the end of the night. It was wonderful. These women are so dynamic.”
Despite the constant media attention surrounding her marriage to Tom Cruise, Scientologist, it was Holmes who relished in the opportunity to work with her female co-stars.
“I was so honored to work with these women,” she said. “I’ve been a fan of theirs. I was appropriately nervous but really excited.”
