On Friday, the film grossed a mere $3,153 from 52 theaters scattered across the U.S. for a location average of roughly $60. In a handful of theaters, it grossed $10 or less; the highest gross was $736 at the Arena Cinelounge in Hollywood.

"The Fanatic" stars John Travolta as an obsessive fan named Moose who stalks an action movie star. The movie was previously described as having the feeling of an independent thriller film, with Travolta's unassuming-turned-dangerous stalker reminiscent of Robin Williams's transformative performance in "One Hour Photo".

Reviewers haven't been kind to "The Fanatic", with Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com giving the movie zero stars and writing: "'The Fanatic' hates fans. It hates actors. It hates tourists, shop owners, and servants. It really, really hates autistic people. And it hates you. It's a movie that thinks you're an idiot, someone who won't see through its shallow provocations, illogical behavior, and vile misanthropy."

No wonder Travolta was groveling on The Ticket with The Musers last week. I thought that seemed pretty weird and desperate

I'm surprised Travolta hasn't teamed up with Nic Cage to do Face-Off Two

Telling everybody he ****ed Christina Aguilera after losing street cred for being on a show with her. They had to ask him to stop coming around the Playboy Mansion.


And Limp Bizkit was never that great.

Plot

Moose is an autistic man who is a huge fan of the horror film actor Hunter Dunbar. When Moose finally gets an opportunity to meet him and get an autograph he is rejected. Moose is friends with a paparazzi photographer Leah, who shows Moose an app that has home addresses of famous celebrities, including his hero. Moose goes to Dunbar's house and tries to give him a letter in search of an autograph. Dunbar confronts Moose and tells him to stay out of his neighborhood. Moose comes back again and climbs a fence, to get onto the star's property, but is scared off by Dunbar's housekeeper. Moose keeps returning and finds out he can get into the house after another confrontation with the housekeeper. Moose is again rejected by Dunbar, who calls Moose a stalker and threatens to shoot Moose if he sees him in the neighborhood again. Moose returns and ties up Dunbar while he sleeps. Dunbar pleads for Moose to untie him.

Okay, so what was the last Travolta movie you paid to see?

For me, it was "The Taking of Pelham 123" in 2009.

The last time I watched something new he was in was "The People vs. OJ Simpson." He was good as Robert Shapiro.

I too find it interesting that you qualified that statement.

Anyone else remember 'The Fan' with De Niro in the fan role stalking Wesley Snipes?
