Eddie Murphy - Can Eddie Murphy Rescue Career With 'A Thousand Words'?

According to LA Times, Murphy has given the movie little in the way of promotional support and suggests that Paramount Pictures, who are promoting the film, will be "crossing their fingers that even a fraction" of the interest Eddie generated in his 1980s heyday will emerge for A Thousand Words. The movie cost a reported $40 million to make, but analysts suggest that they'll only see around a quarter of that recouped in its debut weekend. Paramount have reportedly been targeting an advertising campaign at the African American audience in a last-ditch attempt to boost box office sales and Megan Colligan, the president of domestic marketing for Paramount insists "he's really funny in this movie."
