It came in an expected third after “Iron Man 2″ and “Robin Hood”.
Tweens and their mothers were not as smitten by Letters to Juliet as Summit Entertainment had initially hoped. The PG-rated Tuscan romance earned an estimated $13.8 million, less than originally guesstimated based on Friday’s numbers. And exit polling shows it was not teens at all that were driving the opening to this film but women over the age of 25 who made up 63% of the audience. The opening is far beneath what Amanda Seyfried scored with Dear John, which opened back in February to $30 million and went on to gross $80 million. Juliet lacked the star power of Channing Tatum, a factor that surely limited its appeal with the younger set. However, with an A- from exit pollster Cinemascore, strong word of mouth could help the film’s staying power in the weeks to come.
Chris is featured in the current issue of Houston Magazine, in a brand new photoshoot and Q&A interview. Check out the scan and textless pic in the gallery below!
Here’s yet another interview with Christopher, done after the LA premiere on Tuesday. It seems like he’s been mentioning the “dark, psychological thriller” a lot as his next role, getting so anxious to find out what it is!
‘Letters To Juliet’ Star Christopher Egan Brings Out His Inner ‘Jerk’
‘To be so nasty like that is fun,’ he tells MTV News of his pessimistic character.
What is a guy to do when he doesn’t believe in romance, yet his grandmother wants to take him on a road trip to find her long-lost love? Well, in “Letters to Juliet,” Christopher Egan’s Charlie goes along with it, lets down his walls and eventually realizes that love isn’t as scary as he thinks it is.
While Charlie is a Debbie Downer about love through most of the flick, Egan is anything but that guy in real life. “[I'm] more like Sophie,” he told MTV News, alluding to Amanda Seyfried’s upbeat character in the flick, opening Friday. “I’m pretty opposite to Charlie, which is why I had so much playing him too. To bring that jerk out and to be so nasty like that is fun.”
In the film, Sophie answers a fifty-year-old letter a woman named Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) wrote to Juliet and stuck in a wall where the lovesick appeal to Shakespeare’s tragic character for help. Claire and her grandson Charlie soon fly to Verona and take Sophie along on a road trip to look for the man Claire lost touch with so many decades earlier.
As it turns out, Egan had some experience in the Italian road-trip department. “I’ve done a road trip across Italy with a girlfriend, and that was very romantic,” he revealed. “I think that road trips are probably one of the romantic things you can do. To take your girlfriend and just stay wherever; don’t have a destination and just drive and see where the road takes you is pretty cool.”
Here’s a great, extensive interview with Chris on backstage.com:
The Romeo of ‘Juliet’
Newcomer Christopher Egan charms his way through ‘Letters to Juliet.’
Christopher Egan has a tough job in his new film “Letters to Juliet”: convincing audiences that Amanda Seyfried’s Sophie would dump her fiancé, played by international heartthrob Gael García Bernal, for Egan’s character, the uptight Brit Charlie. “That was a little intimidating,” Egan admits with a laugh. “I was wondering how they would make it convincing.” In the film, Sophie is visiting Italy and comes across a wall where women leave letters to the teenage heroine of Shakespeare’s tragedy. When she discovers a letter from 50 years ago, she is prompted to write the author, who shows up in the form of Claire, played by Vanessa Redgrave. Claire is accompanied by her stuffy but loving grandson Charlie (Egan), and the trio begins a road trip to find Claire’s lost love.
Egan began acting at a young age in his native Australia; he and his three brothers appeared in several commercials. “I was the only one who was really passionate about it,” he notes. “My brothers all fell out of it. My mom tells the story that one day my brother came home from school and had been teased by some kids who saw him in a commercial. She says he came home, threw his bag down, and said, ‘Mum, I’m never doing another commercial again!’ ” Egan is quick to add that his mother and father weren’t stage parents and had no problem with his brothers quitting. “But they could see how much I was loving it and were very encouraging.”
Hope you’re not sick of all these interviews! I have a feeling we’ll be seeing even more as we get closer to the release of “Letters to Juliet”. Here’s Chris in studio at ABC 7 Chicago, talking about the movie and what he has next. Anyone else super curious what the 3 movies he’s up for are?? Hopefully it’s all announced soon.
