Watch: Rita Ora Performs Destiny’s Child’s ‘Say My Name’…With Beyonce In Audience

Published: Saturday 14th Apr 2012 by Sam

As earlier reported, Roc star Rita Ora performed a specially-assembled showcase at the Cartier Juste un Clou in New York last night.

And as well as thrilling with her own gems, the 22 year old Londoner also offered up a tribute to the group she told That Grape Juice influenced her immeasurably – Destiny’s Child.

Interestingly, the addition of the song to her set fell on the night DC staple Beyonce was watching from the audience with husband and Ora’s mentor Jay-Z.

How did Rihanna’s worst nightmare fare? Find out after the jump…

She nailed it, proving once again that any comparisons to her Roc “sister” RiRi are merely superficial. For, Ora can actually sing, boasting a voice with rasp and character. Great performance.

Tidbit: Rit’s clearly been watching ‘The Beyonce Experience’ given the adlibs and vocal stylings of the song. That said, it wouldn’t surprise if Beyonce herself had a hand in the performance, as the band had the exact same arrangement as Bey.

Your thoughts?

    Rihanna ain’t got nothing to worry about. Lightning doesnt strike The same place twice. She’ll fail like Teirra Marie did.

  2. NO Shade April 14, 2012

    Well done rita…….i believe rihanna would have did just as well every time you mention rihanna in a rita post it just makes ri fans and in result rita loses a fan……..so while you guess are always on your quest to tear ri down you making it hard for rita to gain fans…..rihanna voice isn’t the greatest but its unique which is why many people like her…….and while you shading ri she collecting money from her #1 box office hit Battleship and preparing to gain another number 1 single under her belt so before you cosign ms ora check How we do party is doing on the charts and instead of help her gain fans instead of putting her in competition let her live

    Ok, how funny is that a copycat-swagger jacker is copying another copycat-swagger jacker?
    And Rihanna never ever said one thing about her so why is TGJ saying Rihanna’s worst nightmare? Wait for Rita to release 6 albums and get all the collaborations Rihanna got before comparing anything about them…
    Last thing, we don’t need a Rihanna look alike, plus Rita’s voice is basic! If a girl like Jessie J can’t make it, then Rita won’t last 2 months!

  4. ♛ POP Royalty ♛ ( where have Rude Boy been) April 14, 2012

    she’s cool 🙂

    nothing more , nothing less 🙂

    and Puh-lease … rihanna got nothing to worry about !! jay want 2 cash cows , not only one cash cow that is rihanna. pure business. TGJ is so dumb to even think like a business man with that s***** blog. why putting aside someone who get u $$ for another h** that will need to get promoted like DAMN just to be known to the public. of course he want 2 rihannas under his arms cuz this , to him , what will keep his pockets full.
    that’s why he chose the closest one who can imitate rihanna and he will use this to promote her ass. and of course that will make rihanna happy cuz this , alone, will make her more relevant.
    U get it TGJ ?! 😉 , rihanna is a winner on both sides 😉

    now enjoy this one 😆

    Rita is one cool chick, ofc she reminds all of us of RIHANNA!

    Listen TGJ, we understand you’re lifeless and your blog is irrelevant.

    Shading Rihanna won’t make you relevant so sit.

    When Rita makes ONE No.1 call me,i will wait.

    She needs 10 more No.1’s to be in LANE w/ Queen Rihanna.

    Old-Z doesn’t like Rita, he likes MONEY.

    For more information come to my Twitter. I’ll TALK THAT TALK, h***.

  6. chester April 14, 2012

    there is no “IT” factor with this girl. Basic…..next!

  7. NO Shade April 14, 2012

    TGJ Must have forgot Ri Ri is probably sipping tea singing

    All up on it
    Know you wanna clone it
    Aint like me
    That chick to phoney
    Ride this beat, beat, beat like a pony
    Meet me at the top (top, top)
    Gettin’ lonely

    Who think they test me now
    Run through your town
    I shut it down
    Brilliant, resilient
    Fan mail from 27 million

    And I want it all
    It’s gonna take more than that
    Hope that ain’t all you got

    Presses play on hard

  8. Auc April 14, 2012

    TGJ needs to STOP sipping on that haterade!!! And this article is clearly written by a man because men love to see women go at it each other! Why don’t you just report on Rita’s music/performance??? I have no idea why RiRi has to come into it. I think TGJ needs to get out of that mindset that thinks in order to promote an artist we have to tear down another …. There’s plenty of room at the top!!! And if you don’t like RiRi don’t listen to her, simple….why must you take every opportunity to constantly criticise her…honestly it makes TGJ look petty & jealous of her success

  9. Amy April 14, 2012

    Tgj will always try and diss rihanna, this Rita aint nobody but a riri and beyonce lookalike rihanna has done well ok she don’t have the best voice but she’s sold more than beyonce and is more revelant ppl are just up beyonces ass.yh beyonce good but take away the ass shakin and hair swingin and she aint s***!(and I’m a beyonce fan)she’s over rated

  10. REAL TALENT April 14, 2012

    @dead at POp royalty thinking That’s singing Lmaooooooooo Roftl pop stop being so delusional Rihanna is a Hot mess and What keeps her going is releasing an album every year. Rihanna is big right now No denying it but if you think bout it her 6 studio album is barely over 2mil mark and she is barely plat in the Us and her first week sales are weak So I won’t make her that huge star you make her out to be pls sit her singles sell. The generic ones Yes lol rihanna is nothing but a bandwagon artist borrowing peoples looks. Clearly she borrowed rita ora look that pic proves it she a h** and she sells her p**** to sell that’s all she has no artistry bone in her body she has a Team behind her that keeps her going You guys really have to worship ester dean cus she is basically the machine behind rihanna and has given her sound to ri so bye

  11. JORDAN IS THE BEST April 14, 2012

    SAM WHY DO YOU HATE RIHANNA?

  12. JORDAN IS THE BEST April 14, 2012

    YOU DISS RIHANNA NEARLY EVERYDAY. WHY? DID SHE SLEEP WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND?

  13. ThePleasurePrincipal April 14, 2012

    It’s comical to see fans try to degrade the same man, Jay-Z, who signed Rihanna. Rita Ora is definitely talented, but so is Rihanna. Jay-Z has a great eye for talent. Most of the artists on Roc Nation has either contributed to a #1 song, album, or is working with highly respected artists so to dislike Rita or Rihanna is both funny and useless. Jay-Z is winning in more ways than one… Rita and Rihanna isn’t even the half.

    Note: Rita Ora is one of my favorite new artists and can’t wait to hear her debut LP. Rihanna is still one of my favorite female artists, no one can ever contribute to music what she he has culturally. Billboard doesn’t exactly lie.

  14. kimberly April 14, 2012

    I so love her vocals and how she played with it on this song. It just shows her vocal range is unbelievable. Go Rita and keep showcasing your talent. no gimmicks.

    @pop royalty , majority of jay’s money is not made through his artist. It is from his other business ventures. Not including his artist. Before rihanna jay was on forbes and making millions. He was spending his money instead of receiving.

    Rita doesn’t even have an album out and the navy is freaking out already? This girl is doing great for a new artist. she has a #1 song out already and has lots of people on her side already. \this girl is lucky to be surrounded by so many positive people. At least no one can deny that rita is talented but no one sees rihanna’s talent. It is questioned everyday. Thanks to her taking off her clothes. It got her somewhere. She is not a singer, not a performer, not an entertainer. what is she? Go Rita keep focused and forget these comparisons cause I see none.

    It is one thing being an it girl but another to reach iconic status based on your influence and showcasing your talent inspires lots of people.

  15. Galuda April 14, 2012

    That was just average to me..

  16. kimberly April 14, 2012

    I want the navy to stay on topic. What a great performance by Rita. flawless vocals. give props don’t be embarrassed. lol

  17. NO Shade April 14, 2012

    @KIMBERLY

    if she’s not a singer, not a performer, not an entertainer, that 90 million from loud tour says different and that she’s the second artist awards shows call to make sure their raings will be good…..

    You sound dumb if she wasn’t talented please tell me how she’s winning and cassie isn’t or ciara or teairra marie…. thats just to name a few

  18. X,Y,”and Z” April 14, 2012

    !!WOW..!! This Rita Ora CAN SING..!!!

    ..And Rihanna? *sigh..* Rihanna is that proverbial “cat on a hot til roof”.

    Hell to be Rihanna:

    1.) Nicki Minaj is forcing her off the Pop-culture landscape. Did Rihanna have as many endorsement deals this early in HER career..?! NOPE!
    2.) Rihanna has proven herself to be toxic to ALL the black men in her life – those who publicly consorted with her: Chris Brown and Matt Kemp. And when they were distanced from Rihanna’s “proximate toxicity”, it was only then that they THEN regained their respective “winning forms”.
    3.) “Rated R” proved itself to be, based on ROI, an unmitigated, whole-cut FAILURE! This is why Def Jam had cut the budget for her projects, which THEN forced Rihanna to go shopping for, with trademarked materials in hand, to the different video directors to direct S&M. This is why Rihanna/concerned parties, were found, before a court of law, liable for the theft of Dave LaChapelle’s intellectual property and had to reimburse him MILLIONS..!! This is why Philip Paulus is NOW “coming for his”.
    4.) “Battleship” is now a “$250-Million ++” movie with final costs that is YET to be determined. Those “final get-to-theater costs” will be, at the very least EQUAL TO the now known production budget. So essentially, Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million FAILURE..!! For “Battleship” NOT to be considered a “failure”, it’ll have to do, at the VERY least (using low-end-not-yet-known-final numbers as reference ‘250 x 1.45′): $362.5-Million WW. Of that, it has to return $237.5-Million from foreign screens, as it’s projected to do $125-Million from U.S. domestic.
    5.) (said mentioned) Chris Brown doesn’t want to get back with her. Rihanna wanted to..’reacquaint’ herself again with Chris Brown. He wasn’t, at all, interested! <–The "hottest sting" Rihanna had EVER felt..!!
    5.) And now Rita Ora, who is now being lovingly nurtured with all the attention that Rihanna was once showered with, by none other than Rihanna's one-time mentor: JayZ.

    !!MAN DOWN..!! Rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum, rum, pa, pa, pum

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT.. "R.I.P to the girl we use to see; she's over, baby she's overrrr"

  22. ♛ POP Royalty ♛ ( where have Rude Boy been) April 14, 2012

    @kIM :

    JUST try when you discuss a topic to separate between FACTS and your personal opinion , just because you don’t like rihanna doesn’t mean she’s not Good. the girl got “IT” , she can sing : YES , specially the slow songs when relaxed and in a good-giving mood , she can dance : Not really , but she can move those hips in songs like ” rude boy” and ” what’s my name ” real good , and we, the navy , we don’t ask for neither a ciara choreography nor a janet dancing skills , we like her that way ! and girl don’t go and say ” i’m better than everybody talent-wise” , gurl know her limits and she’s improving in front of our eyes !
    she can entertain : yes she can , her last tour is a smasher , and her fans got entertained. numbers never lie , u know it 😉
    if she wasn’t that talented she could have never survived that long , cuz just look at ppl like cassie who depended completely on looks , where are them now ?!
    look at ppl who weren’t diverse like ciara , where are them now ?!!
    U see , just because you don’t like her doesn’t mean she’s not good. and u really need to stop involved in such topics if you are going to be biased like that.

    Rita is good and i support her now , but i just want her to be herself , i want her to be so good in her own right without rihanna’s name being present everytime she take a breath. U get it ?!
    and the navy is Loving Rita , we like Rihanna cuz she’s cool and got what we like , Rita showed us she can be as cool as rihanna , so we initially like her , she’s yet to prove the ” best selling digital artist of all times” part. 😉
    so …… no , the real navy are not mad !

    @NO SHADE re: April 14, 2012 at 5:13 am —

    “she’s the second artist awards shows call to make sure their raings will be good”

    Huh?! Say Whaaaa?! You’ve got to be kidding.. And what about Rihanna’s #1 female comp: Nicki Minaj? And Chris Brown?! He drew FAR-better numbers for ALL the TV appearances he did as compared to Rihanna: SNL, BET Awards, AMAs, etc..etc..etc..

    “You sound dumb if she wasn’t talented please tell me how she’s winning and cassie isn’t or ciara or teairra marie…. thats just to name a few”

    Can Rihanna dance? NOPE! Can Rihanna sing? NOPE! Does Rihanna’s name appear on platinum selling songs as writer/producer? NOPE! Does Rihanna, in lieu of stage-presence/showmanship, then resort to “crotch grabbery” and other “weapons of mass distraction”? YUP!

    Rihanna isn’t “winning”; not by any stretch of the definition of the word. Rihanna has enjoyed the (outside-the-U.S.) World Stage all to herself. NOW Nicki Minaj has pushed her off the U.S. stage, and she’s NOW “coming for her in U.K./Europe”. In these, now 7-years, has Rihanna grown as an artist? Has she sharpened, augmented, or added-to her arsenal of “artistic weaponry” NOPE!!!

    Rihanna is a Lying, Zero-Talent HACK! ..She’s a foaming-at-the-mouth GIMMICK! YOU’RE about to see just how easily, ‘No-Talent Gimmicks’ can be replaced when there’s nothing of any..”substance” that anchors them to our collective consciousness..

    ..Rihanna is now loosened and adrift in treacherous “Harauju infested” waters. She’s about to be “the face” of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea, and both her and “Battleship” will soon disappear into the dark, cold, murky, crushing depths.

  24. Royalkev April 14, 2012

    I thought it wasn’t bad. Lol @ the essays, this is serious!

    I give Rita an 8 out of 10, Bey has officially become 1 of those people that’s hard to cover. I know when someone sings any song by Beyonce (or one she’s singing lead on), it’ll leave me wanting more. I definitely prefer for ONLY B to sing CIL, DIL, SL, Me,Myself &I (come to think of it … a long list of her hits in her catalog, and Say My Name is one too). Rita does have talent though. This is clear!

  27. X,Y,”and Z” April 14, 2012

    @Truthteller re: 6:02 am —

    SO SORRY: “Battleship” will have a “final get-to-theater cost” of $450-Million. So far, its budget is $250-Million WITHOUT marketing (P/A) costs. So even using that “incomplete $250-Million” cost, it’ll have to do $250-Million X 1.45 = $362.5-Million WW. It’s projected to do $125-Million from U.S. screens. So it’ll have to do $237.5-Million from foreign screens NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..

    ..Mind you, this is using not-yet-finalized numbers. So, realistically, “Battleship” will have a final get-to-theater cost of $450-Million. And realistically, it’ll have to do $450-Million X 1.45 = $652.5-Million WW, and of that $527.5-Million from foreign/overseas screens.

    Long-story short: Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million FAILURE..!! Say what you will about Beyonce, Gaga, Nicki Mina;, at the very least, their management teams have enough sense NOT to place them in said “harms way”: the face of $450-Million failure”!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT….!!!

  28. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    $250 Million was the initial money spent by Universal.
    But After tax credits, Battleship cost Universal $209 Million net.

    Get ur fact straight looser.

    Don’t hate cus Rihanna’s debut movie is about to outgross Beyonce’s entire history of flop movie COMBINED.

    LOL!

    Battleship is doing so well, Universal is already talking about a trilogy.

    Hasbro Inc has been so happy with the result, they have announced that thanks to Battlship success they are now planning to turn into movie other board games such as: CandyLand & Ouija with Sony.

    Studios also in discussion with Ridley Scott to turn Monopoly into a movie.

    Entertainment Weekly announced that all those project were on hold until they see how battleship perform and thanks to its initial RECORD BREAKING reception… they are all about to be greenlighted & fast tracked.

    U MAD?

    Let me reiterate: “Battleship” will have to return, from overseas/foreign screen, $527.5-Million (that’s OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS) NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!! (it’ll have to return $787.5-Million to be a “success”. that’s OVER 3/4 BILLION DOLLARS)

      I agree with you! Most of Rihanna’s number 1’s are with features and not individually! I don’t know why they’re considered number 1 when she’s one quarter part of the song!!!

      KING beyonSLAY!

  32. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    I don’t even need to talk much with bitter flopyonce’s fans.
    I’ll let Entertainment Weekly do the talking for me:

    “And guess what? It’s already pulling down pretty huge averages where it’s opening in foreign markets…What does this mean? It means the North American box office isn’t going to matter for Battleship. Whatever money it makes here will be gravy, since it’s on pace to earn $300 million in foreign box office.”

    STAY MAD BIOTCH!

  33. therealhonesttruth April 14, 2012

    I’m laughing at how people think that budget was so high because of Rihanna. The reason why they chose this b**** is because she can be easily be cheated out of money. Just ask Jay. And also there are so many big names in that movie including Liam Neeson. So i doubt anybody is really going to see this movie because of Rihanna.

    Rihanna get back to music cuz this chick is shitting on you right now.

  35. therealhonesttruth April 14, 2012

    I just read a review of the movie and look what they said.

    ” it steals so much from other, better movies that there’s no doubt Universal‘s legal team spent time considering possible action.

    Everything from the script to the CGI are low quality, making this $200m tentpole feel like it was made for fifteen bucks and a pack of gum.”

  36. therealhonesttruth April 14, 2012

    “The plot tricks come straight from ID4 (including a “Welcome to Earth”-style line for Rihanna (who, no kidding, is one of the few actually trying hard to deliver a real performance)). By the time they copy Transformers, Terminator and Predator, it’s sad. When they copy Titanic and Space Cowboys, it’s downright depressing.”

  37. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    By they way, by your own standard, every Beyonce movie has been a HUGE FLOP.

    Including ur beloved Dreamgirl which had a total get-to-the-movie cost of 120Million but only grossed $150Million WW.

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    And I won’t even talk about Pink Panther, Cadillac Record & Fighting Temtation.

    Anyway u spin it: Rihanna 1 movie >>>>>>>> Beyonce’s entire movie career combined.

    B**** Beyonce is a musicican not a actor.

    I never said she was the best actor. But since your trying to rub RIhann’s 1 line in our faces let me help you let you know. Rihanna’s movie is just like her albums. You impressed when you look at it but when you actually start playing the music it’s too late and you can’t get a refund. I read reviews before i watch movies and i guess from the way people are feeling about this I’m not going to see it.

  40. therealhonesttruth April 14, 2012

    But tell me this.

    Will Rihanna every perform on the Oscars stage. Beyonce did 3 times in one night.

    Will Rihanna every be even nominated. You can’t be a filler to be nominated. You have to be a lead or supporting role. Don’t try to say Rihanna is the reason for the success of the movie. Just because her is somewhere there in small print doesn’t mean she made the sales. Just look at her she can’t even get a #1 album.

  41. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    Boo,

    Battleships projected to sell OVER $300 MIllion worth of tickets in forreign markets only.
    Add to that the US sales, the DVDs sales, the game merchandising boost and it ll be close to a Billion $$$

    U FAIL IN EVERY WAY!

    Even critics who clearly were rooting for this movie to fail and still bash it admits that it is a blockbuster.

    If u wanna see a flop about about to check Dreamgirls who bare made back the 120Million it cost to produce &market???

    Or how about Cadillac record which cost 20Million overall and made only $8 million?
    That is is a glitter-lever flop.

    Anyway back to the real reason why i was here. Congratulations Rita for the beautiful rendition of Say My Name. It’s obvious who are inspired to be but unfortunately Jay wants to turn you into that h** nag FLOPANNNA. If you want to actually be remember or actually win Grammys or actually want to have a #1 album. You better start begging Beyonce for help.

  43. therealhonesttruth April 14, 2012

    I wonder how much Rihanna got out of all that money. Maybe 15 grand after they talked circles around her. B**** is a complete and total moron especially when it comes to money.

    You keep talking about projections wasn’t Rihnann’s albums projected to go #1 six times. But yet she has failed to get that #1 spot 6 times.

    Keep looking at projections and see where you end up.

  44. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    @therealhonesttruth

    1) Rihanna was ALREADY invited to perform at the Oscar boo. She pulled out in 2009 after Chris Brown went psycho on her.

    2) The critics hated Bodyguard too.. And u can see how it worked out for them. LMAO!

    1) Many, Rihanna albums were #1 WW boo.

    2) Also, the movie gross projection are based on the numbers that have come out.

'Battleship' producers may have gotten a "break" in Hawaii, Louisiana, but The "overhead" for a film CANNOT be fully "written off"!! That "not-yet-final-$250-Million" cost had ALREADY had taken into consideration any minuscule tax credits. And also, most of the film's money will be made OUTSIDE the U.S. ..And if you hadn't noticed, the "World Economy" is slowing. China just released their GDP numbers: they're slowing – big time! Europe also-too is slowing; maybe a recession. The "only game" left is the U.S. This "only-game-left-in-town" status will be reflected in the U.S. dollar. Essentially, when Universal Pictures tries to bring those funds BACK into U.S. currency, they'll then have to pay MORE to exchange those monies BACK into U.S. dollars. THESE currency exchange swings weigh heavily on a corporation's balance sheet and bottom line!

    The "final get-to-theater costs" for "Battleship" will be $450-Million. For a film to be considered NOT a "failure", it'll have to return 1.45 X "known costs". For "Battleship", NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE, it'll have to return: 1.45 X $450-Million = $650-Million WW. As it's projected to do $125-Million U.S., that leaves $527.5-Million from foreign screens..

    .."Battleship" has done, so far, $25-Million from overseas screens. RARELY, if ever, does a film continue to do AS WELL during its "opening week". This means that after the hype has died, so does the interest/buzz to see the film. Essentially, the "climb only gets steeper" for "Battleship" – AND RIHANNA..!!

    Rihanna will be the face of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea..!!

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!

    I personally actually think the movie is gonna end up closer to $400 Million overseas. Maybe $375Million or so.

    $25Million already grossed BEFORE THE WEEKEND from just 26markets.

    And the money from Japan is not even in yet as it opened there yesterday.

    And the really huge overseas Markets like China & Russia won t open till next week.

      Those numbers are far too optimistic, jog on, They’ll never happen!

    Rihanna’s acting is getting SLAUGHTERED in reviews! ROFL! She can’t act, she can’t dance, she can’t sing, she can’t get a #1 album. I would guess that she’s probably a hell of a d*** sucker, but something tells me she’s probably just as WACK at that too. 😆

    I said $209 Millon production cost.
    I didn t talk about promotion cost as it ain t reported yet.

    And again, by ANY STANDART, it is shapping to be a huge succes.

    i LOVE HOW U EDITED OUT what deadline had to say about the movie box office success:

    DEADLINE:

    “Universal may have the last laugh after all now that its Battleship is opening overseas. For months the studio has fought media bad buzz about how risky this expensive military vs alien actioner from Peter Berg has been. But it may pay off. My sources project the film should steam past $300M foreign box office based on stats.

    ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:

    ““And guess what? It’s already pulling down pretty huge averages where it’s opening in foreign markets…What does this mean? It means the North American box office isn’t going to matter for Battleship. Whatever money it makes here will be gravy, since it’s on pace to earn $300 million in foreign box office.””

    “I would guess that she’s probably a hell of a d*** sucker, but something tells me she’s probably just as WACK at that too.”

    Ahhh.. Remember, lest we forget: we DID see Matt Kemp picking-up groupies outside that L.A. club..?! I mean, can we really blame Matt? Look, if you’re NOT getting it at home, then you’re bound to get it elsewhere, yes?

    @Unmutedone

    Actually, Rihanna’s acting is getting pretty darn good reviews. Even the reviewer who don t like the movie because it s a “dumb summer blocbuster” are saying that Rihanna was actually a good surprise. SO YOU FAIL!

    U must have her confused with Beyonce HORRIBLE reviews from: Fighting Temptation and down right pitiful reviews fron The Pink Panther.

    @XYZ

    I have linked many article from professional papers calling the box office run of this movie a success so far.
    U have yet to show a single article saying that the numbers Battleship is pulling are underwelming or anything like that.

    Ur bitter rants don’t count as professional opinion btw.

    LMAO!

    In other words, it’s expected to not do well in America. LOL
    Just like in the world of music, America is the #1 movie market as well. F*** what it did in Cambodia and Abu Dhabi. If the movie flops in the US it’s a flop period.

    People think this girl copied rihanna’s style but, you are wrong. This is rita’s style rihanna is lately sporting a few months ago. She knew rita was coming to the music scene, and unlike her can really sing well then decided to first not only dye her hair blonde but also wear red lipstick, and changed her whole style to a 90’s look WHICH rita did first.

    The “FINAL get-to-theater” costs for “Battleship” will be $450-Million. Initially the production cost was $200-Million. THEN $50-Million was added to the promotion cost. BUT, P/A costs aren’t yet added!!

    ..Prints and Advertising costs ARE EQUAL TO THE PRODUCTION COSTS. With “Battleship” having a $200-Million “production cost”, its “F-I-N-A-L get-to-theater” cost (with the now revealed $50-Million) is $450-Million..!!!

    *sigh..* Now, that said, here’s how a film’s “FAILURE” or “PROFITABILITY” metrics are derived:

    From Deadline.com Friday September 16, 2011 @ 5:07pm EDT (http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes/) “Kagan” an “Industry Insider” ‘Financial Analysis Firm/Service’:

    “SNL Kagan, the financial analysis firm makes its projections based on a ratio that compares a film’s estimated revenue from all sources to the costs that Kagan can calculate — which don’t include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. A movie with expected revenue 1.75 times higher than the known costs is projected to be a winner, while those with a ratio of at least 1.4 are on the bubble.”

    FOR ‘BATTLESHIP’ NOT TO FAIL IT MUST RETURN: $450 X 1.4 = $630-Million WW. It’s already projected to do $45-M first week, and $125-M in-total. This leaves $505-Million that MUST be realized from foreign/overseas screens for it NOT to be a failure! BTW, $505-Million is OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS..!!

    So, if Nikki Finke (Deadline’s editor) predicts $300-Million, then that’s WAAAYY short of the “Battleship” “$505-Million-failure threshold”. And this is NOT including distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, nor residuals..!!

    Oh no, Camp-Fenty, you’ll NOT now wriggle, slither, nor hiss your way outta this..!! BTW, so did you notice Rihanna’s face on the “Battleship” poster on the side of that London doubledecker bus..?? I did..

    ..Just thought I’d mention that to you. Like I said, the face of a $450-Million failure..!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — gone for breakfast — OUT..!!

    “i went to watch this movie thinking I will get the same feeling as watching the first Transformers but i was bitterly disappointed. At the beginning of the film you might think that you are watching a chick-flick or a ROM-com. The acting was so terrible.

    The special effects are damn good, but it was too cheesy. There is no real flow between the scenes and a lot to leave you confuse. All in all it was a show-off of the US Navy ships. the aliens themselves are quite confusing, they have no apparent reasons on why they are so bent on destroying the world. Rihanna’s acting debut does not show much promise either; to sum it all it was a complete and utter waste of my time.

    LMAO!

  65. ADC143 April 14, 2012

    “Saw it. Waste of money. Wish I could get my 18 Euros back. It’s so bad, that after 15 minutes, I was rolling my eyes. The trailer deceived me and I wish I hadn’t gone to see it.

    The acting is bad. Well, the only good ones were Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano and Alexander Skarsgård. But that’s about it. The rest is amateur acting. Not to mention Rihanna, who had crappy lines and I heard way too much about her being the best part of the movie. No.

    (this could be a spoiler) The best part were the Aliens and after the first “battle”, I really just wanted the Aliens to win.

    I feel like the people on here that are praising the movie, were paid to do so.

    Just… wait for the DVD if you’re really excited to see it. But if you want to be fed crap, then… please… go and waste your money. ”

    You can’t even say that Beyonce had 2 movies around that time plus a #1 album that outdid Talk that Talk. Beyonce was on her second solo album at age 24 while Rihanna is now on 6 and she 24. Her music doesn’t last.

    Beyonce fans are so dumb, that s why Beyonce stays flopping.
    Even her movies are local:
    Dreamgirls: 100 Million US vs 50Million overseas
    Obsessed: 68 Million US vs 5Million overseas
    Cadillac Record: 8 Million US vs 0 overseas (OUCH)
    Fighting Temptation 30Million US vs 2 Million oveseas

    Before it opens wide in the U.S., “Battleship” already scores a huge success overseas. Despite the fact that some reviewers have been pessimistic about the mega-budgeted film, the Peter Berg-directed apocalyptic movie debuts on the first one spot in almost every country where it opened on Wednesday, April 11.

    Judging from the trend, the sci-fi movie should steam past $300 million foreign box office especially since it will expand to a total 26 territories (40 countries), including China and Russia, on Friday.

    Previously, some observers were afraid that “Battleship”, which was made with a large budget of $209 million, would become a disappointing ” ‘John Carter’ in gunmetal grey.” With the proven result overseas, Universal is confident that the bad prediction would not come true. An exec from the studio told Deadline that the film is “off to a very good start.”

  73. TruthTeller April 14, 2012

    Rihanna has officially become to Universal what Will Smith was to Sony in the late 90s.

    She can give them a movie hit and a smash album once a year by herself.

    Rihanna didn’t even have to try. Hollywood basically came BEGGING at her door… and here she is already an ACTION MOVIE STAR.

    I’m here laughing at your comment about Battleship. Everything you said was the truth. They hyped up this movie and paid people to say how great this movie is. I did better than you after 45 minutes I was out of there. I then told my friends if you want to throw your money away go see Battleship. I have nothing against Rihanna and the other cast members but the acting was awful. The plot was questionable.

  80. j2245 April 14, 2012

    With all this promo you people think that Rihanna was the only one in the movie. There were other no good actors in there also. They used Rihanna to do most of the promo because she is a superstar. Superstar and playing a roll in a movie is two different things. Rihanna this Rihanna that was awful just as the rest of the cast. So I wish her fans stop it because it’s not just her movie.

    “Battleship had to gross 300 Million. Then they said 400Million. Now they are talking 600 Million”

    Who said that…?? Do tell!! Care to post a link or pertinent film-industry link?

    I think you’d post a link to deadline.com re: “guesstimated $300-M overseas”.. Well, Nikki Finke can predict all she wants, but till I observe HER hands in/on the pockets of overseas discretionary-spending consumers, I-myself will reserve judgement. “Overseas” movie-goers/discretionary-spending consumers are VERY hard to predict!! Don’t believe me? Well, why not go ask the almost-40-something-year-old Kelly Rowland, she’ll tell you: weekly-exposure, as a sitting X-Factor judge/mentor of up-and-coming talent, with said, weekly-exposure to 12-Million willing-n-able U.K.European consumers, and she only moved less-than 150-K “Here I am” units!

    Listen: deny, deflect, or inevitably languish self-defeat all you want: the “final, get-to-theater” cost for “Battleship” will be $450-Million..!! And, in order for Battleship “NOT-TO-FAIL”, it has to then return 1.45 X $450-M = $630-Million WW. It’s projected to do $125-M from U.S. ..But, let me ask you this, since there is “no place safe” from these blogs, what makes you think word-of-mouth won’t already damage, if not irreparably condemn, “Battleship”, then sharply dulling the “buzz” that now surrounds it – which’ll then put downwards-pressure on U.S. first week/final tally..??

    If, as all indications now, show that “Battleship is a Transformers rip-off”, then why even bother..?! So the actor from the “John Carter” flop also co-stars in “Battleship”..?! ..WONDERFUL.. Just you wait till U.S. movie-goers puts a face to that loser-riddle: $125-Million U.S. domestic?! HA!! ..I think NOT..!!

    Do you think Universal Pictures will allow Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, or Brooklyn Decker to be identified with this “$450-Million disaster-at-sea”? HELL NO!! Rihanna was/is fully expendable! The producers, and those who handle Universal PR will neatly fold this “$450-Million disaster” and tie it around the Rihanna’s neck! There’s a reason why SHE was allowed to be on those billboards, and in this film. Now, do you get it? No? Well, simply put: she’s a throwaway; easily disposable, and even easier replaceable. Go talk to Jay-Z and Rita Ora..!!

Beyonce stop making films and sing b/c you are not even good.”

    “I have never see such poor acting in life and the actors get tired. I will give this film overwhelming negative reviews.”

    “This movie is an insult to real actors and a slap in the face for fans of acting”

    “Beyonce can not act her way out of a paper bag to save her life!!!!! Weak plot with bad acting. Atleast, Idirs and Ali tried to resurrect the movie but, to no avail. Ali rocked in the movie; good job. However, Beyonce dragged the movie through the gutters. I don’t recall seeing any A-list actors at the premier!!!!!

I went to go buy Beyonce album and each time i went there were no albums left. I had to go to that store 4 times because they were always sold out. But when i went to go buy the Take Care albums. The shelves were still full of Talk that Talk albums.

    You guys only defend Rihanna behind a computer screen. I wonder how many of you even purchased Talk that Talk.

    The Navy is dumb as hell, because Battleship is PROJECTED to $300m overseas doesnt means its going to do that number, AVENGERS (a real anticipated movie) is coming soon. BTW its need to make at $500m for it to be considered a PROFITABLE movie – Lets see how is going to do in the US first.

    Beyonce see more $$$$ from her movies anyway.

    “AIM. READY. FIRE”. The “Battleship” “word-of-mouth-torpedoing” has begun:

    Look on the front page of “Huffingtonpost”, entertainment section: a picture of Rihanna in Battleship (can’t be good for word-of-mouth for its U.S. open; $125-Milliion..?! HA!!), THIS is what’s written in big BOLD lettering:

    “‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” <–Here's the link, have a look: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A

    ..And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, just below that headline, they actually used a still-picture of Rihanna in Battleship (dressed in Navy fatigues). ..As I said, "Rihanna is absolutely expendable, and easily replaceable"! They'll find some way to tie the "Battleship" disaster-at-sea around Rihanna's neck, and THEN, 'point her out' for ALL to THEN see – AND NOT FORGET..!!!

    Long-story short: Rihanna, her "Rihanna Navy", and "Battleship" are all too-closely bunched together — no daylight between 'em to tell the difference! They're all soon "sleep with the fishes"..

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT..!!

    I wonder if this site looks at the comments because if not, they need to start doing so. You guys ALWAYS diss Rihanna and NEVER have anything good to say about her but yet you post an article about her damn near everyday, it’s getting freaking annoying and VERY unprofessional. If you don’t like an artist as bad you don’t like Rihanna then stop putting up all thses posts about her! You even put her in posts that don’t even concern her and STILL manage to dog her out. It’s getting very ridiculous. On the other hand Rita does have a very nice voice and I think she’ll go a long way. She’s in her own lane and doing her own thing while Rihanna, who is another great artist, is doing her own thing as well. All the best to both.

    Rita will be on top to join who tho? Right. Her fellow YOUNG already won label mate who both have years ahead of them in the game. Notice how Jay is continuing to PIMP his flop wife for this girl’s relevance with this song being rammed into’s Rita’s set-list? KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    I’m willing to bet the next thing will be something like a collab like he did using her to market another one of his acts J Cole.

    “while Rihanna, who is another great artist” <–O~o *screeeeeech! Stands on brakes*

    What part of Rihanna is a.."great artist"?? Is it the Rihanna who has tripped-up on her feet while walking across-stage? Is it the Rihanna who can neither write, nor produce music? Is it Rihanna's live-onstage "ear-drum hostility"? Is it Rihanna the studio gimmick?

    ..This "Rihanna-as-artist talk" fascinates and intrigues me! Maybe it's the "artist-genie Rihanna" who resides in her 'lady cave'. Maybe that "artist-labia-genie Rihanna" will grant her master just one wish: after these now long 7-years, and give her a #1 album.

    POOR RIHANNA! POOR, POOR RIHANNA:

    1.) Nicki Minaj now the "IT GIRL" upon the Pop-culture Landscape.
    2.) Chris Brown, NOR Matt Kemp wants her, or to be seen publicly with her (as is the case with Matt Kemp).
    3.) She'll soon be the face of a $450-Million disaster.
    4.) Rita Ora, a talented artist, is now being showered with ALL the love and affection that was once hers – by, none-other-than HER LONG-TIME MENTOR: Jay-Z..

    Please don’t bring up Beyonce’s money knowing damn well your fav hasn’t even made the 75 million mark. Beyonce is worth 320 million. She’s not just a musician but a true business woman who’s earned her fortune in music, acting, clothing, fragrances, producing, and even real estate. She earned a cool 110 million from her last tour. Don’t EVER bring up Beyonce’s financial situation when speaking of your fav Rihanna because you will loose everytime. I didn’t even include the fact that her husband is worth 450 million. & on a side note, can we please quit the Battleship talk. Even if the movie flops, it won’t hurt Rihanna, she is not the STAR of the movie.

    @LAMBCHOP re: April 14, 2012 at 1:37 pm —

    “she is not the STAR of the movie”

    That, very well may be the case, but it’s of little consequence: it’s HER face that’s now associated with, and will ALSO too be closely-tied to a “$450-Million failure”!!

    For someone to have such a minor role, it seems peculiar that it IS Rihanna’s face which now grace the sides of ‘double-decker London Bus billboards’.

    RELEASE THE KRAKEN..!!

    Battleship’ Builds $58M Foreign War Chest

    UPDATE
    Universal’s Battleship continues to screen strongly overseas with estimates from Day 2 and Day 3 bringing the 72-hour total to $58 million with all 26 international territories now open. Director Peter Berg’s military vs alien actioner opened to #1 in 24 of those new territories. Battleship opens next weekend in 24 more international territories including China (April 18) and Russia (April 19) — but not in the U.S./Canada until May 18th:

    – The UK opened #1 on Friday with an estimated $1.3M (£770). That’s ahead of Thor but ahead of Wrath Of The Titans and John Carter. The total with previews is $3.7M (£2.3M).

    – Spain opened #1 with an estimated $900k (€681k), better than Iron Man.

    – Germany opened #1 on Thursday with $900K, which is the biggest opening for an English language film in Germany this year. It continued #1 on Friday with $1.2M, equal to Iron Man but not as big as Transformers.

    – Japan opened #1 with an estimated $900k (LC 72M), higher than Thor‘s opening day.

    – Thailand opened #1 with $470K, which is the biggest opening day of 2012 and Universal’s 2nd biggest opening day ever (behind only Fast Five).

    – Malaysia opened #1 with $390K, which is Universal’s biggest opening day of all time.

    – Korea had another strong day and Battleship remains #1 with a three-day total of $4.2M (LC 4.7M) — better than Iron Man and Thor.

    At this rate, they’re sure to recoup the Craft Services cost in no time.

    And as for Rihanna and Battleship…..she’s not the leading actress..therefore she won’t have the most lines….and like @WHUT said……Rihanna saying “BOOM” was more believable than any line Beyonce ever delievered!..so STOP hating!..Another thing is that Rihanna could’ve had the lead role in other films(she’s been offered other movie roles b4) but she feels,as she should, that since she is new to acting that she doesn’t want to disrespect the craft….she wants to continue to take small roles and become better….<—– That is what Mrs. Thief should've done instead of thinking she's the s*** at everything…that's why Nia Long said what she said: http://b*****.com/131100/quote-of-the-day-nia-long-to-beyonce-stay-in-your-lane/

    She’s gonna get more than enough of the H.I.V clowns coins on her way to surpassing your fave and possibly joining a winner in Rihanna on top.

    Methuselah-yonce fans in their attempts to displace a winner who will continue to win regardless (see Battleship) don’t seem to recognize that right now it is their fave who’s receiving the s***** end of the stick given than Rita is more in a Fossil-yonce mold.

    She’s Blonde, bleached out with a soulful yet non-distinctive voice. Sounds familiar? KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

    Its gonna be all kinds of hilarious to watch the H.IV shoot themselves in the snout all while continuing to ignore all the signs that Jay once more is using his wife to prop up one of his acts. Again I’d place money on him setting up a collab between the two. Smart guy seeing that he manages his wife, who all ends up is a colossal failure and AGING. Makes sense to secure some success other than the obvious single successful act he manages (see Battleship)

Her career is waning, her image is tarnished, and her work ethic is horrible. Aint nobody time for that!

    Why is this gurl so pressed over me when she asked me to leave her alone so she can wallow in her hate, and now she is writing this long pointless paragraphs with the “word” Ki drawn out and written everyother sentence like that s*** is a standard for Titantic validation….

    Um did Jay-z p*** on you after a sexual act back in the day or something? You seem a little pressed…Jay dont care about his wife but he marries her, gets a tatoo symbolizing their love, supports her when ever he can, and so on and so fourth? Pressed much babe?

    He doesn’t have to care about Rihanna given that she is so effortlessly continues to win see Battleship). It’s his wife twho he is ALSO managing that cant seem to stop flopping is looking to continue to flop all ends up. Plus she is AGING rapidly which is never a good thing for female popstars in this business.

    Hence, Rita aka the insurance policy aka insuring that he finally has MORE THAN ONE person under management who can stream in success. Of course its not guaranteed bum, but for damn sure he’s gonna use every last juice of his flop wife to ensure she has a shot.

    Collab coming next mark my words. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    R****** stans coming across as threatened as hell. Posting stats on a movie, Like it is going to add anything to Rihtards credibility or even Financially. Taking Cheap shots at Beyonce like its going to change the fact she’s another level compared to R******.

    Spew your hate all you want still not going to change the fact RITA IS COMING FOR THAT SPOT, WE KNOW THE TITANICS ARE BITTER AND UPSET and it shows

    I find it ironic, just in feb when bday cake came out you were done with Rihanna and @pop was done after being called a c*** or something horrible from rihanna you GOATASSIE, SINKING BATTLESHIPS OR TITANICS ARE VERY FLIP-FLOP JUST LIKE DUDE WHO CLAIMS TO BE TOP BUT LIKE RIDING D*** ON THE LOW LOL HA HA HA HA HA HA CHOW BITTER B****** ….RIHANNA IS MAN DOWN

    @KINGPHOENIX
    He pissed on many people cereals trust,I am not one of them because I am a lil smarter than the dumb f**** he loves surrounding himself.Matthew knowles was smarter than a mtf but Jay failed him.I am happy to not be around this man trust m eon that.

    @Kat Deluna Fan – She has never been signed to Roc. So what? I dont want her to be anyway, Beyonce and Jayz has never really mix business into their relationship and I think its a good thing.
    Beyonce has an amazing deal with Columbia(SONY) that Roc might not be able to offer. Roc Nation is more suitable for a new artists.

Now that we are painting it for them and they are having to do something they hate…think…and its making them become as expected furious. KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

    The irony is the fact that we are not even close to pressed has them pressed ass all hell which is bringing on for me so much joy personally.

    Well..if u scroll back up to my very first comment I gave Rita her props..she’s good! I actually like her and I”ve had ‘R.I.P’ on repeat for a min now! Most of these Beyonce fans are only supporting Rita bcuz this whole replacement thing came up a while back and they don’t like the fact that Rihanna is doing great at the moment and Beyonce is not. Rihanna is a well established superstar and even if Rita blows up it won’t affect Rih bcuz they are totally different…It doesn’t matter to me one way or the other if she gets big…it I like her music I’ll listen to it..and yes I am assuming that u want Rita to blow up in hopes she’ll knock Rih off..but I”m here to tell you that if she gets big…Rihanna will still be Rihanna no matter who likes it….

    I agree with you with the fact that she is using Beyonce name but i don’t think Beyonce is blind to it, afterall she has been with Jay-Z for like 11 years now so she must know his ways better than anybody else.
    Anyway i always felt like Beyonce “simpleton” image is just that an image so she doesn’t look bad when her people use cutthroat business ways and it obvisously worked.

    @NAVY_INFO re: April 14, 2012 at 2:52 pm —

    “Battleship” MUST do well overseas! It was supposed to do well overseas, given all the promotion it was/is. Now, once the word-of-mouth and reviews of just how bad a “Transformers rip-off” it is, THEN the “72-hr/First Weekend/$58-Million” totals will sharply decline!

    (again..) “Battleship” had cost $200-Million to produce. It JUST recently had $50-Million added to its promotion budget. That final “promotion budget” is YET to be determined, as so obviously is the “final, get-to-theater” costs. Movies have a ‘P/A cost’ that is AT LEAST EQUAL TO THEIR PRODUCTION COST..!! The final cost to bring “Battleship” to the theaters will be $450-Million. To THEN be considered NOT-A-FAILURE, ‘B’ship’ must return OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS: $652.5-Million – to be exact!

    ..Here’s what you may NOW expect from those overseas numbers ‘deadline’ had quoted: they’ll take a sharp decline in the coming days, weeks, months from that initial first weekend of “72-hr/$58-Million”! Can YOU tell me of a film that didn’t slow AFTER the first weekend..?! And given all the “badmouthing” ‘B’ship’ is now getting, I seriously doubt it’ll still have the buzz to return half, what it had already, for the coming next weekends.

    ..That said, here’s what you neglected to mention, and what deadline had ALSO said, regarding ‘B’ship’s’ U.S. returns – bad reviews and “Transformers rip-off-badmouthing” not withstanding:

    “For months the studio has fought media bad buzz about how risky this expensive pic has been. Especially when the studio is claiming it came in at $209M — and everyone else is saying $250+M. And there’s still the possibility that, in the United States at least, it could become a disappointing ”John Carter in gunmetal grey”.”

    Initially, ‘B’ship’ was projected to do (U.S.) $45-M first weekend and $125-M total. Do you NOW really think, given all the “bad word-of-mouth reviewing” it has gotten that it’ll STILL do as well..?? The Huffingtonpost JUST did a review, with Rihanna’s face used to support the caption:

    “‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” Here’s the link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A

    (again..) Look at the BIG picture: in order for “Battleship” NOT to be a failure, it has to return $652.5-Million.. ($652.5 – $125 = $527.5-Million). So now, just ($527.5-Million – $58-M) $469.5-Million to go for the coming next almost-sure-to-decline-in-returns days, weekends…

    @HOLLA
    Also by promoting Jay-Z business Beyonce is also putting money in her own pockets since they are married don’t forget that.
    —————————————-
    Great.They are married cool
    But when was the last time Jay did that for her? Dont worry I’ll wait.

    Why does she have to put money in her pocket via Jay’s ventures and not her own??

    Why does Jay need her name if he so much richer and supposely is the reason why Bey got that “Street credibility” they clinge to?

    Was Jay there when Beyonce became Bey to have the right to use her name?

    If Jay was doing things for Beyonce’s family I will understand but nope.Melanie fiona won 2 grammys before Solange,Kayne west got a fashion show in Paris before Tina Knowles and Rihanna got the Armani’s deal after solange .

    Beyonce used to be really nepotist about her family but now Jay projected her nepotism into his business that’s why he called Roc ‘la familia’.I really thought her “simpleton image” was just an image but it aint.Best believe.

    There is something Toxic about this man like “X,Y & Z& say about rihanna.

    Rihanna, cannot sing period, she’s just a good performer and if that’s what pays the bills more power to her. But to say she can out sing some of these other artist is plain demented. That’s my opinion…………..say what you want.

    I respect you for your opinion….Thank You! At leat you are not hating and hoping she fails just bcuz your fave is flopping(which is what most Bey fans have been doing)

    SMH I never said her career started with Bonnie and Clide so please don’t put words in my mouth.
    The fact is that Jay-Z was on Beyonce breakthrough singles AS A SOLO ARTIST whether you like it or not a lot of people who are familiar with Beyonce music aren’t familiar with destiny child’s music.
    And yes you seem to be if not hating at least a little bit too upset about a man that you don’t know personally.

    If you aint a bey stan then dont talk s***.

    The old fan in me is somehow frustrated to see how she is getting the blame.She helped rih more than Rita but her fans thank her with hate EVERYDAY on blogs.Today,Jay decided to “replace” rih but she is be blamed again.She is not the one replacing rihanna,Jay-z is.Why are people blaming her once again?
    I am sure Rita fans will hate on her and forget everything once she gets +5 #1 singles.

    I just realized that not only he uses “her name”, he also uses her as a shield against public judgement.

    If she likes it,I love it 😉 😆

    If 4 is a flop then AGLM, MOTS,RR and TTT are all flops. But than again I’m not here to discuss R******, this is suppose to be about Rita Ora – singing the b*tches out of the game.
    Beyonce stans can support whoever they want. Most of Beyonce stans Love Adele and Gaga the 2 other baddest singers/artists/performers in the game apart from Beyonce so whats your point? Stay hating on Rita because she’s Jayz main priority.

    It doesn’t matter how well battleship does, Rihanna is just one of the many cast members. I could understand if she had a leading role, or was even a supporting actress…. lmfaooo

    But once again Rihanna ‘s fan are quick to talk ish. Yall might wanna wait until the final numbers are in, and until you’ve actually seen the movie…

    On topic: Rita did good.

  207. Richnblack11(beyonce is the HBIC) April 14, 2012

    When you go to see “Battleship,” don’t expect anyone to say the phrase, “Hey, you sunk my battleship!” You can, however, expect someone to say, “Let’s see if we can buy the world another day!” Yeah, “Battleship” is one of those movies, and according to Empire magazine, it’s a total miss.

    this is from the huffington post boo.

    “Reading IS fundamental” <– O~o

    Yes, it most certainly is, but it seems "reading comprehension" comes at a premium..!!

    If you'd READ AND COMPREHENDED my (4/14/9:03 pm) comment you would have saw where I went WELL out of my way to highlight the fact that RIHANNA'S IMAGE, dressed in Navy uniform, was used, AND "OUCH" was printed above it. Here it is again, as it was on April 13, 11:16 pm — http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869635&title=Dont_Watch_The

    ..Also, If your bias had cornered you into any uncertainty, then all you had to do was to refer to my just prior comment on April 14, 2012 at 5:52 pm:

    "The Huffingtonpost JUST did a review, with Rihanna’s face used to support the caption:

    “‘Cabin In The Woods,’ ‘Three Stooges,’ ‘The Client List’ And More: The Week In Ouch” Here’s the link: huffingtonpost(dotcom)/2012/04/14/cabin-in-the-woods-reviews-bad-joss-whedon_n_1424818.html?ref=entertainment#s869458&title=Battleship_Is_A

    (back to the Huffingtonpost 4-13/11:16 pm article) Here is what was captioned below "'Battleship' Is A Miss": "Battleship is an event movie so lunkheaded — both in concept and execution — that it's hard not to suspect director Peter Berg of playing a prank."

    So yes, I absolutely agree, "RIF", but we shouldn't allow our shortsightedness, 'agenda-driven bias', nor need to "dumb-down" and belittle to ITSELF highlight our 'desperately lacking' in the basic utensils of life: "reading COM-PRE-HEN-SION"..!!

    ..Better luck next time ; – 9 (wink)

    (Back to the topic at hand..) "Battleship" MUST do well overseas. It's overseas opening weekend is $58-Million. But given the "final get-to-theater" cost of $450-Million all it "NOW" has to return, in order for it NOT to be a failure is 450 x 1.40 = $650-Million, and of that, $125-M is projected from U.S. domestic. So (650-125 = 505) and (505-58) $447-Million MUST now be returned from overseas screens, AND at least $125-Million from U.S. domestic in order for "Battleship" NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!! That's a lot of money! That said, I'm now even more adamant in my original stance: "Rihanna will be THE FACE of a $450-Million disaster-at-sea!!"

    Peter Berg: !!RIHANNA, YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP..!!

  213. NAVY_INFO April 15, 2012

    LMAO at 650m, ur figure keep rising, soon it will be 950 billion it needs recoup. Why also US 125m projection valid to subtract from your bogus 650m but you ignore 300m projection and not subtract that?

    @NAVY_INFO re: April 15, 2012 at 1:14 pm —

    1.) “LMAO at 650m, ur figure keep rising”

    I’ve always maintained that “$600-Million-plus-‘threshold-of-failure” for “Battleship”. If you’d bothered to READ my post on April 14, 2012 at 7:46 am, you’d saw that I used an actual INDUSTRY link to well-respected industry blog that itself used an well-known statistical/accounting firm often consulted by the film industry.

    ..Here again is a cut-and-paste for said April 14, 2012, 7:46 am comment, complete with aforementioned link, which’ll explain the OVER “$600-Million fail/not-fail threshold”:

    “From Deadline.com Friday September 16, 2011 @ 5:07pm EDT (http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/kagan-the-help-is-the-most-profitable-film-from-a-month-with-few-successes/) “Kagan” an “Industry Insider” ‘Financial Analysis Firm/Service’:

    “SNL Kagan, the financial analysis firm makes its projections based on a ratio that compares a film’s estimated revenue from all sources to the costs that Kagan can calculate — which don’t include distribution fees, overhead, interest, profit participation, and residuals. A movie with expected revenue 1.75 times higher than the known costs is projected to be a winner, while those with a ratio of at least 1.4 are on the bubble.”

    2.) “Why also US 125m projection valid to subtract from your bogus 650m but you ignore 300m projection and not subtract that?”

    As I’ve just proved, in pains-taken detail, that $600-Million (plus) isn’t “bogus” if you’d bothered to read what was post before you made fool and nuisance of yourself: 1.4 x “know costs” ($450-Million) = $630-Million that “B’ship” has to return NOT to then be a FAILURE..!! Why I had referenced that “U.S. $125-Million” was to highlight the fact that “B’ship” is now getting bad reviews and that it’s snowballing into a rolling buzzsaw which is heading towards “B’ship’s” 1-month-from-now-soon-to-come U.S. opening…

    ..Better still, here are my exact words, which I’d post on April 15, 2012 at 5:00 am:

    “Battleship” MUST do well overseas. It’s overseas opening weekend is $58-Million. But given the “final get-to-theater” cost of $450-Million all it “NOW” has to return, in order for it NOT to be a failure is 450 x 1.40 = $650-Million, and of that, $125-M is projected from U.S. domestic. So (650-125 = 505) and (505-58) $447-Million MUST now be returned from overseas screens, AND at least $125-Million from U.S. domestic in order for “Battleship” NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!!

    ..Yet-better still, let’s use all the “current projections”:

    U.S. domestic: $125-Million; from total overseas: $300-Million = $425-Million. But the “final get-to-theater” costs is $450-Million..!! And, as deadline’s referencing of industry standard – Kagan SNL stated: 1.4 X known costs = borderline/on-the-bubble failure. And, 1.75 X known costs = success. The final get-to-theater costs for “Battleship” will be $450-Million. 1.4 X $450-M (know/final cost) = $630-Million. So that projected return of $425-Million not only doesn’t even cover the “final get-to-theater” cost, but it falls-far short of the aforementioned “fail threshold” of $630-Million.

    And those “projections” are, at the very least, “OPTIMISTIC” as they now don’t include the said “gathering storm of criticism and bad-mouthing” that “B’ship” is just now beginning to weather. I suspect that when time for the U.S. premier, that “$125-M U.S. total return”, will then be seen as a hopeful wind that could’ve saved “B’ship” from ‘hull-crushing Kraken-infested’ doldrums.

    I really followed what H post was talking about and read what you wrote and you are correct. I also believe that Rihanna is used. Damn when you have no knowledge of the business and think you are doing something profitable. damn again. her face is used and she did not even have a lead role. That movie’s budget really is huge and it really has to bring in a lot of money to not consider a failure.
    The navy is fooled by the 300 million but they need to read, and I doubt they can comprehend properly.
