April 11th marks the release of ‘Battleship‘, starring none other than Island model Rihanna.

Taking to the UK last week in support of the flick, last night saw her touch down in Japan for the same reason, days after chart rival Nicki Minaj graced the country in aid of her new LP, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘.

    Battleship will be an epic fail like TTT, she has like one hit single and photos of herself flipping the middle finger on twitter. How many times can that be considered edgy? Unless you are 12?

    @Sam/TGJ Staff —

    An additional $50-Million was JUST added to the “Battleship” promotion budget. http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/toldja-universal-rounds-up-promotional-partners-for-battleship

    That means, atop the $200-Million of the already known production cost/budget, and the expected “get-to-theater” cost of 2X that, of the “production cost/budget”, which equals $400-Million, “Battleship” now has a total/final cost of approximately $450-Million..!!

    ..And what does ALL of that mean? Well, it means that “Battleship”, in order for it NOT to be considered a “failure” will have to return $450 x 1.45 = $650.5-Million.

    ..Remember, that’s OVER 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED A FAILURE..!! Domestically, “Battleship” is predicted to do $125-Million. So, in order for it NOT to be considered a “failure”, it’ll have to return $527.5-Million from foreign screens.

    ..In order for it to be a “success”, “Battleship” will have to return 1.75 x known/final($450-Million) costs = $787.5-Million..!!

    If the “Rihanna Navy and Camp-Fenty” aren’t willing to buy her CD, as compared to her singles, then how are they to be expected to come-up with the 12-$15 for the cost of a movie ticket to see her..??

    Long-story short: Rihanna is well on her way to become the face of a $450-Million failure.

    ..That’s WHOOOLE lotta of egg to wipe off, Camp-Fenty.. MAN DOWN..!!

    @X , Y :

    YOUR ATTEMPT TO SOUND “SLICK” is a FLOP FLOP FLOP my son. *in @LACEFRONCE’s Voice*

    Rihanna is not the main ACTOR in it. she’s not the one who’s carrying IT !
    so you need to —-> _/ and go buy CB newest single with it’s cheap single cover. 😡

    @Rude Boy —

    Did you click on/read that link….?! You should! And her doing all of this promotion IS making her T-H-E most memorable of those who’ll “carry this film”!

    But just there’s no use in now denying nor deflecting. Why don’t you Camp-Fentyites just own up to it? After “Takers” you never let anyone forget that Rihanna was in a big-budget $200-Million movie. And now that it has to return OVER $500-Million NOT to be a failure, you’re now deflecting..

    ..*sigh..* ..Just another example of Camp-Fenty trying to spin their way out of ANOTHER obvious failure.. A “$450-Million FAILURE”..!! ..NOT to worry, though, I won’t let you, nor anyone else, forget..!!

    Summer 2012:

    Between Matt Kemp again failing – because he’s again seeing Rihanna, this “$450 Rihanna ‘Battlehship’ flop”, and Nicki Minaj replacing Rihanna in Europe, this’ll be, for Rihanna, the coldest winter come summer 2012..

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT..!!

    Rihanna is so damn ugly. She looks like an a** with a blonde wig on her head! Is she trying to look white? Her flat ass looks like it stinks too! I find it so funny how directors only put celebrities in their movies so they can draw attention to them. B**** isn’t even co-starring in it! She has a damn supporting role!

  15. Noel March 31, 2012

    xyz shutup. You think you sound smart, but you really aren’t. As the other person stated, she isn’t carrying this film. There are actual actors..you know Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch in this blockbuster film. The demographic of this film is similar to that of the Transformer films…Rihanna’s fanbase has nothing to do with it.

  16. Girrrl March 31, 2012

    Love Rihanna hate that wig.

  17. Lax March 31, 2012

    @Noel cosign….

  20. Lax March 31, 2012

    Poor “XYZ” I sure hope that Turd don’t have a stroke
    praising and being so Passionate about their love
    for Rihanna and her new found glory as her feature
    in a Mocie, goodness!!!What ever is this Turd talking
    about. Dang i don’t know english and typing real
    good and then they come with their Mess and talk about
    being “Corked & Screwed” I need some one to read that Mess to Me.!!

  21. Lax March 31, 2012

    feature in a Movie* And would some one help to teach me english?

  22. X,Y,”and Z” March 31, 2012

    @Noel re: 5:00 pm —

    “XYZ shutup”

    Nope.

    “There are actual actors..you know Liam Neeson, Taylor Kitsch in this blockbuster film.”

    Tell me this, between Rihanna, Liam Neeson, and Taylor Kitsch, WHO’s the bigger/best known as far as “name/facial recognition”..?? A-DUH..!! Rihanna’s, of course..!!!

    “The demo of this film is similar to that of the Transformer films..Rihanna’s fanbase has nothing to do with it.”

    ^^^DUMBEST STATEMENT YET in this post/thread. With $450-Million “on the line”, the only reason she’s in the film HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HER DEMOGRAPHIC..!!! In other words, I guess YOU think you know better than the “Battleship” producers who have now sunk $450-Million into this film, yes?

    More proof to reveal your idiocy: during her recent “Battleship” promotion event, the one in which Rihanna didn’t want to talk about her personal life. The ITV reporter even made mention the fact that she had millions of twitter fans and them possibly coming out to support the film.

    As said, “Battleship” is projected to do $125-Million domestic U.S. . But with its budget now inflated to $450-Million, in order for it to NOT TO FAIL, it has to return $527.5-Million from foreign screens.

    ..THATS JUST OVER ONE-HALF BILLION DOLLARS..!! (with Europe now slowing, with some parts now forecast to drift into recession, that’ll mean the dollar increasing. “Battleship” producers will take another hit when exchanging those monies BACK into U.S. dollars)

    (Again..) Of A-L-L the actors in this film, it’s Rihanna who has the biggest, easily identifiable name AND face. Rihanna is NOT an actor, nor even an aspiring actor. She was given this role by the producers, who’d then hoped for HER fans would then support this film. If it fails, as all indications suggests it will – EPICALLY, BIBLICALLY SO – who better than someone who is NOT an actor, someone who you’ll never again work with in a film to THEM blame; who else will then be more, or as convenient? Rihanna, of course.

    Rihanna will be the very face of a $450-Million failure. There’s no way you, Camp-Fenty, will spin your way out from under this fact – I WON’T LET YOU..!!!

    It comes in “3s”: bad-luck, plagues, and failure:

    1.) Matt Kemp will again fail, as he did in 2010 – ONLY BECAUSE HE’S STILL with Rihanna. They spent 2012 New Years together, there’s pictures of them together – I have them; that Ashton Kutcher (sp?) situation was only a rouse to deflect attention away from the most obvious. When Matt Kemp again fails, ‘yours truly’ be on those L.A. Dodger fan blogs to remind them, with evidence/pictures in hand, of just WHO is responsible for their failure: !!!RIHANNA..!!!!

    2.) Nicki Minaj now elbowing Rihanna off the Pop-culture landscape in Europe, as she did here, in the U.S. (see “Pink Friday” jumping 96-places on the U.K. Top-100 Chart from the mere mention of her coming London tour dates)!!

    3.) Rihanna being T-H-E VERY FACE of a $450-Million FAILURE! Geez, I wonder what THAT will do to her “brand” and any future endorsement deals?

    X,Y,”and Z” — “..my cup runneth over.”

    Lol xyz is a lunatic but nothin he said here was a lie. Navy yall can be weak

  24. Lax April 1, 2012

    Bull s*** the navy isn’t in denial Others or and She is showing
    all of you who doubts her that she know how to take a licking
    and keep right on ticking.

  25. Lax April 1, 2012

    Stay on your knees and keep praying for her to flop,
    while she keep right on making hash out of the things
    people say that should make her star stop shinning.

  26. Lax April 1, 2012

    Through all of the smoke that is blown in her face
    she seem to still prevail through the storms of
    life, and there or no visible signs of her ever slowing
    down, no matter what is typed and no matter how
    people keep killing their key board over and over again.

    Just think about how many key boards that has gotten
    the hound dog hell beat out of them trying to hurt her
    career and her image. All of the hog wash and sermons
    preached about how her time is out and how over a dozen
    have been groomed to take her place, no matter how ugly
    and bad she dresses and entertain, no matter how many
    bumps rise up in her pathway she seem to some how know
    how to do that balancing act and get across to solid ground.
