JUNO breaks $100 million cherry
Who would’ve known that quirky-fun pro-life propaganda could be so profitable? “Juno” – the heartwarming tale of a delightful elf-girl, who cracks obscure pop culture references like a pre-GOP Dennis Miller, and the unwanted bun George-Michael Bluth planted in her EZ-Bake oven – hath rained down cold hard cash upon its studio Fox Searchlight to the toe-stomping indie-acoustic tune of 107 friggin’ million buckaroo bonsais. A lot of money? Fuckity-fuck yeah, especially since the Jason Reitman directed, Pollo Loco Coyote penned award-season fave done cost a mere $ 7.5 million, which is a lot of money for say, a sex-robot, but ain’t diddly in the movie-making business (and I should know, I write about the movie-making business). Just wait for the DVD to drop; the money train’s only just begun to roll.
