Wrapped up in The Amazing Spider-Man’s web this weekend, few noticed the other new releases that snuck into national theaters underneath the radar. Although all debuted to unimpressive numbers, the most surprising result came from Katy Perry’s tour documentary Part of Me which collected a paltry $7.1 million to land in 8th place. The film’s $12 million dollar production budget shouldn’t be difficult to recoup for distributor Paramount Pictures so it’s premature to call the concert flick a financial disaster, but the result is still disappointing.

MUSIC VIDEO: Katy Perry – Part Of Me
The girl I love to hate is back with her new music video for “Part Of Me.”
Having seemingly run out of every gimmick imaginable, Perry uses her latest clip to throw slow pitch down the middle of Americans’ hearts with a tale of romance and military in “Part Of Me.” Perry plays a girl who, while emotionally crippled from a recent breakup, decides to join the marines and serve her country.
