7월 26, 2010 Here are some photos of Angelina Jolie promoting Salt today in Russia. It’s interesting that the first country the Salt international promotional tour goes to is Russia - usually it’s England or Germany, two countries where American stars play very well. But considering Salt’s subject matter, I guess Moscow makes sense, although I’m not sure what kind of reception it will get. I went to see Salt over the weekend, and while I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it either. Beware, lovers and haters: I’m not hating on La Jolie, who I do like (a lot), and who made the film very watchable. I enjoyed her wigs (the short little page-boy wig was a particular favorite) and I was impressed by the stunt work in the film, and there were even a couple of stunts that she did where I literally gasped, surprised she hadn’t seriously hurt herself. But… the film needed another 15 minutes of plot. It needed a few more re-writes, and it needed just a few modern touches, because some of the plot points were very dated and/or nonsensical. My problem was with the script, I guess that’s what I’m saying. Audiences embraced Salt domestically, although not enough to beat cinematic juggernaut Inception. As the box office receipts are still being tallied, it looks like Inception won the weekend with something like $43.5 million, and Salt came in second with $36.5-37.7 million (those numbers will likely change, it‘s around $37 million best guesses right now). To give you some random action-y perspective, action rom-coms like Knight & Day earned $20.1 million its opening weekend, and Bounty Hunter made $20.6 million its opening weekend.
