Despite hitting the talk show circuits all last week — not to mention the free publicity generated by Tom’s insane rantings and Andrew Morton’s contreversial biography — actress Katie “Kate” Holmes’ new movie is officially a box office bomb. According to Page Six

Taking in just $7.7 million over the weekend, Mad Money definitely won’t do much for Katie’s fledgling film career. Not only did her first foray back into acting since 2006’s Thank You for Smoking underperform, but she was widely criticized as the worst part of the film — The New York Times called her “the movie’s weakest link.”

Side note: Katie turned down a role in the next Batman movie to star in this cinematic masterpiece. So we can figure that with “Mad Money” under her belt, Katie’s bright future on the silver screen will include such favorites as “Son-in-Law 2,” “Carrot Top’s Revenge,” and “Battlefield Earth: Uprising.”
