Happiness is a warm gun

Braveone

By Gregg Kilday

Stateside, Jodie Foster’s revenge drama, “The Brave One,” had pretty much played out by last weekend, when its domestic boxoffice stood at a disappointing $34.4 million, which, in turn, led a number of commentators to bloviate that when it comes to the American marketplace, female stars and guns just don’t mix. But as the movie rolls out internationally, Jodie and her gun are even more front and center than they were in the American ad campaign. In the U.S. -- where the MPAA frowns on ads where guns strike too threatening a pose -- the main image featured Foster, looking distraught, her head bowed and her gun hanging limply by her side. But in its foreign make-over, “The Brave One’s” poster -- as seen here outside a megaplex in Busan, South Korea, where the movie opened Thursday -- features a full head shot of Foster with her gun raised, aiming to kill. Nothing shy about it. As of Oct. 7, the movie had scored $14.6 million abroad, where, to date, audiences in Germany and Spain have been the most receptive.
