Third worst movie in box office history
As many moviegoers know, Zac Efron’s latest film We Are Your Friends has made its way within the top 10 of the worst movie openings in history.
The film was ranked as the third worst movie openings, making only $1.8 million dollars, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The story dragged most of the time, having a couple of scenes that had reminded me of A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’. It felt as if the writers did not have the chance to really establish the plot, the film always bouncing left to right.
What happened? I decided to go to see what all the horrible fuss was about. It was a sad start to see that the theater had only three people sitting in it, excluding myself.
The storyline revolves around a twenty-three year old DJ (Zac Efron) struggling to try to break into the Music Industry. He manages to hit every bump in the road along.

I couldn’t sympathize with any of the characters since they were not really discussed or fully introduced. I had my fair share of laughs, but this film needed more friends.
The title of this film alone would make viewers think the plot would revolve around the group of friend’s trying to make it out into the real world, but this movie had other ideas. This film needed more rhythm and soul for it to be about the music.
“We Are Your Friends” had an entire hour and forty minutes to give its audience some raw emotion from the characters, but they failed at that attempt.
“We Are Your Friends” had a lot of potential to making big bucks, but it needed work and maybe some depth into the plot and characters to make it escape from being the third world’s worst flick debut.
I guess a storyline of an aspiring DJ raver isn’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea.
But with “Straight Outta Compton” still making the box office happy, I don’t see this movie staying in the theaters for long.
What can I say? The audience is more appealed to watching to the story of the group that created the song ‘Express Yourself’ than listening to DJ rave mixes.
Sorry, Zac Efron. Maybe “Neighbors 2″ will make us forget this one.
