No matter how much money she's being guaranteed for movies these days, Nicole Kidman had better start thinking twice about her legacy as an actress.

Her new one, "The Invasion," opened Friday and bombed quite brilliantly. It took in a little less than $2 million. The price for this disaster? Over $100 million. And even though it co-stars James Bond actor Daniel Craig, nothing can make "The Invasion" into a hit.

What's worse is, no one wanted even to see it in theatres. At boxofficemojo.com, a poll among subscribers showed almost no interest in "The Invasion."

Nicole was born in Hawaii. That makes her an American who was raised in Austraila.

Too bad, Nicole Kidman is an above average actress. Maybe it will succeed overseas on on DVD and cable.

jennifer aniston has gotten name identity as a master of light romantic comedy, even though she will do many other things. she didn't try to stretch out, get experimental, or worry about type-casting. she knew that she needed a genre based permanent audience that will see all her movies. her average films are solid and she will have some very big hits.
nicole kidman is the opposite. has had any number of different, challenging roles. she is not identified with a genre and has no real base of permanent genre-based fans. people have no idea what to expect from her and she keeps most of herself inside her, so i don't think she does the damsel-in-horror/scifi-distress very well. she is almost impossible for women to consistently identify with... she has received worse career advice than jennifer aniston- but who hasn't.

Blutus,

Why call her a bitch? Did she wrong you personally in some way?

You know nothing about film or acting if you can insult Kidman that way. Even worse, you apparently were not raised very well.

Nicole Kidman is so so so so Over. She was over about a year before Bewitched, another movie no one saw. And someone here liked Cold Mountain!!? It was a disaster and she seemed totally stoned throughout " didn't have a clue about what she was doing. But her makeup stayed perfect for the whole civil war and a stray stand of perfect curl indicated her hardships. Yeah, so, anyways, Invasion of the Body Snatchers AGAIN!? The b/o disaster of this moronic idea is fabulously gratifying.

Kidman is getting incredibly bad career advice. Her talent is on a level with Meryl Streep, but she keeps picking terrible projects. "The Others" and "The Hours" will go down as great films. "To Die For" was a great satire on the overarching desire for fame among ordinary people, but the junk is overwhelming the gold on Nicole's degrading film resume'.

She should pull back and do fewer projects of better quality.

Actually this was just a movie that did not need to be remade. I liked her in "Cold Mountain", "Birth" and "The Human Stain". Most of her other movies such as "Bewitched", "The Interpretor" and "The Stepford Wives" have been stinkers.

Nic is famous largely because she married Cruise, then, as these things usually go, made it look like she was ill-treated by him ( in this case it might be true--he's a weirdo). Then she did the pretty-girl-gets-ugly-for-role bit and won an Oscar ( see Charlize Theron).

She's an OK actress, little more. She's been on a roll, and it's finally, and appropriately, slowing down.

Nicole Kidman and Sci-fi sound like a stinker combo from jump.

Anyone remember when Nicole Kidman was beautiful, and didn't look like a character out of Finding Nemo?
