“12 Rounds” Not Doing Well at Box Office, Linda and Steph Talks WWE Business
Box Office Mojo is reporting that John Cena’s “12 Rounds” did an estimated $1,750,000 in sales last night, putting it in sixth place on the current movie list.
Canada’s Business News Network’s website has an interview with Linda McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Levesque from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, where they appeared yesterday. The funniest part of the interview was when Steph was asked about the creative process and she gave all the credit (some may say blame….I kid) to Vince McMahon. She said managing him was a full time job. They also talked about the status of the company in the current economy and pushed “12 Rounds”. When asked about competition with UFC, Linda said that they were entertainment and UFC was a sport. She said anything you had to reach into your pockets to buy tickets for was their competition (what, UFC gives their seats away???). Linda was asked about whether WrestleMania would return to Canada and she said not at present but they had a PPV scheduled there for September in Montreal. Linda couldn’t remember the name of the show and Steph quickly jumped in and said that it was Unforgiven. Steph said don’t count Canada out for Mania but you do have to bid for it, emphasizing the importance of the show. Steph definitely came across well, very businesslike
