Steve Jobs movie disappoints at the box office

The film that we have been talking about for more than a year and that has finally been officially released in theaters in the United States, has failed for the moment in its first weekend, raising only 7,3 million dollars, when the predictions they predicted a collection of 19 million. On several occasions in which I have spoken about this film, I do not know what the producers of it would expect, it must be borne in mind that this type of film is aimed at a niche market of Apple users for many years, who experienced the resurgence of the Cupertino-based company with the return of Jobs to the company.

During the previous two weekends, the film had grossed $ 2,2 million in the few theaters that had been seen in Los Angeles and New York. However, when the film has reached the entire public nationwide, it has failed to fill the more than 2000 rooms where it is currently being programmed. If we take into account the previous film, "Jobs" starring Asthon Kutcher, which grossed $ 6,7 million during the first weekend, this new film has slightly outperformed the first.

This new film about the life of Steve Jobs has generated much controversy, even more than the previous one, among a large number of Apple executives and other important figures in the technology industry who throughout their lives, were always close to Jobs, like Walt Mossberg, we talked about a few days ago, claiming that the film fails to capture the true identity of the man who had such a profound impact on consumer technology over several decades.

The film, which had a cost of 30 million after buying the rights from Sony and another 30 to make it, will have a difficult time reaching at least the costs of buying the rights and making it, since today, and after the first end of week, which is usually the highest grossing, barely managed to reach 10 million dollars.
