‘Popstar’ Flops in the Box Office

Date:

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping flops as audiences avoid Andy Samberg.

This weekend’s most advertised, most talked about, and highly expected box office hit movie, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, flopped in the box office. The movie only earned $4.3 million dollars in the box office and according to reports, Universal spent $21 million to make the mockumentary.

Popstar featured Andy Samberg as a Justin Bieber singer and his Lonely Island partners. The group is best known for their comedic songs and parodies such as Dick in a Box and I’m On A Boat. The studio thought that Popstar was going to develop a cult like following and perhaps spin-off into a franchise group or movie series. However, Popstar was a major disappointment highlighting the fact that audiences are not that interested in Andy Samberg movies. In fact, according to Box Office Mojo, Popstar is ranked in the top 100 (rank 54) worst box office openings of 2016.
