Critical reception

Reviews of Disaster Movie were overwhelmingly negative. The film received a 0% "Rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where all 28 reviews compiled were "Rotten."[4] Metacritic gave the film a metascore of 15%, based on 12 reviews.[5]

The most positive review listed on either Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes was by Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly, who remarked: "The movie is merciless sending up Juno's self-satisfied hipster gobbledygook, and it's quite funny to see Hannah Montana still promoting her tie-in products as she lies crushed and dying under a meteor."[6] Gleiberman previously contributed the only positive review listed on either site (out of 17 at Metacritic and 57 at Rotten Tomatoes) of Friedberg and Seltzer's earlier effort Epic Movie.[7][8]

Box office performance

On its debut in United States theatres, Disaster Movie grossed $2 million on its opening day, $5.8 million over the three-day weekend and $6.9 million over the four-day weekend (including Labor Day).[9] It ranked #7 for both the three- and four-day weekends. The film's takings for the weekend fell far short of the $17 million predicted by the Dallas Morning News[10] and well below the film's $25 million budget.
