Will "Jennifer's Body" Flop Kill Megan Fox's Career?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1083271/ >Megan Fox is probably hoping that Michael Bay will keep on making "Transformers" sequels.

Fox's third major film and her first major film not in the "Transformers" series earned a disappointing http://boxofficemojo.com/weekend/chart/?yr=2009&wknd=38&p=.htm >$6.8 million, coming in fifth place in its opening weekend.

The film was beat out by the family film, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844471/ >"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," Steven Soderbergh's http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1130080/ >"The Informant," Tyler Perry's http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1385912/ >"I Can Do Bad All By Myself," and Jennifer Aniston's romantic drama, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899106/ >"Love Happens."

"Jennifer's Body" received mixed reviews from the critics and only earned 42 percent fresh on http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jennifers_body/ >Rotten Tomatoes.

http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/movie/29190858/review/30165951/jenni... >Rolling Stone gave the film three out of four stars and said that Megan Fox "shows a comic flair that 'Transformers' never investigated."

http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/talking_pictures/2009/09/jennife... >The Chicago Tribune, however, was less than impressed with Fox's performance, calling Fox a "pretty bad actress" who "doesn't seem to get Cody's sense of humor."

Fox might be in trouble, but despite the disappointing box office numbers, screenwriter Diablo Cody is still having a good weekend.

Cody's television comedy, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/21/arts/television/21emmy.html >"United States of Tara," scored a big win tonight at the Primetime Emmy Awards when star Toni Collette beat out favorite Tina Fey for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Diablo Cody will survive "Jennifer's Body," but since Fox http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/33317.html >trashed director Michael Bay in the press, it has yet to be seen if Fox's career can survive this flop.
