Lewis fantasy series was expected to take just over $30m to claim the top spot.
Despite the pulling power of Jolie and Depp, the thriller set in Venice, Italy, failed to attract moviegoers having received many poor reviews. Movie experts said it took just over 6m dollars on Friday and $7m on Saturday.
Hollywood blogger Nikkie Finke said the The Tourist, which cost $100m to make, under-performed to the “point of desperation.” Movie experts predict it will be pulled from US theatres in a matter of weeks with Hollywood studio Sony hoping it performs better overseas.
The Tourist was supposed to set the box office alight with the pairing of Depp and Jolie.
They are the two biggest names in Hollywood and their previous films have all performed spectacularly at the box office. But the film received scathing reviews with one saying the film crawls at a snail's pace.
“Star power can cover up a multitude of shortcomings in a film. Turns out stupidity isn't one of them. Nor is a lack of chemistry when those stars are tossed into the same orbit,” another reviewer wrote.
“Throw in the feeling that they aren't really trying, but instead showed up for the mondo payday and the first-rate locations and you have... well, you have The Tourist,” the reviewer added.
There is news that Brad Pitt gets annoyed with partner Angelina Jolie for not clicking photos herself which means the actor is often left out of family snaps. The Tourist star said that Pitt, with whom she raises six children, likes to takes pictures of their family but hardly gets included in them himself, reported media.
"I actually never take pictures and I think it drives Brad a bit crazy because he's in no family photos - he takes them all, and so I need to start trying," said Jolie.
The 35-year-old actress admitted she doesn't worry about what people think of her because she is so caught up in raising her children - Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four and twins Knox and Vivienne, two.
"My real life is like 90 per cent contained in my house with my kids that just think I'm weird. So I don't have that life of how you walk down the street and how people perceive you."
