Justin Bieber's Believe had been the talk of the town since the news of its production broke. Since Never Say Never, JB's first film, had been such a success, Believe was sure to be another hit. But the documentary film, which premiered on Christmas day, ended up flopping?

Believe was the highly awaited documentary that would finally set the record straight about Justin Bieber's rebellious behavior. The film was going to take us behind the scenes into the star's Believe tour, his life and some pretty deep interviews. The once adored teen idol turned "bad boy" wanted to once again connect with his fans and shut down all rumors about his self-destruction.

Believe made just $1.25 million in ticket sales on its opening day in theaters. Never Say Never, Justin's first film when he was much younger, made $12 million on its opening day. So why did the film only make it to the 14th spot in the box office? Maybe because Justin is now older and his music is geared towards an older audience who aren't racing to the movie theaters to learn about his life? Or maybe his behavior has just caught up to him and people are just not interested in his explanations anymore.

Open Road Films, the studio that released Believe, seemed to have suspected that the documentary was not going to do well. They only put the movie in 1,000 theaters across the country, while Never Say Never was released by Paramount (major studio) and was released in more than 3,100 theaters. This can be due to the fact that not only are fans loosing faith in Bieber, but so is Hollywood.

Never Say Never went on to make $73 million in total ticket sales in the U.S, Believe will likely struggle to make more than $25 million. However, staying relevant in the entertainment industry is the battle of every artist in the business. But it wouldn't hurt to play nice and keep people not only interested in your music but in your persona.
