Guy Ritchie's Latest Disaster

How long until Madonna sneers about this onstage? Guy Ritchie’s latest film, Rocknrolla, grossed a paltry $400,000 in U.S. theaters on its opening weekend. It’s the latest bomb for producer Joel Silver, whose rotten eggs include Speed Racer, The Invasion, The Reaping, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Sharon Waxman notes at WaxWord that Silver still has a deal at Warner Brothers thanks to past successes, like Lethal Weapon, and Hollywood’s old-boys club. “How long can his friends protect him?” she asks. “Hard to say. But I’d bet that Silver’s deal is likely to outlast Guy Ritchie’s marriage.”
