“Kids these days like EDM, right? Let’s make a movie starring that Zac Efron guy! What could go wrong?” — a movie executive, probably.

Well, a lot, as it turns out, because the flick, We Are Your Friends, bombed hard at the box office. It earned just $1.8 million in its opening weekend — the third worst opening of all time for a film that was shown on more than 2,000 screens, according to Box Office Mojo. But while movie execs are sweating that they don’t understand the youths, and Efron is wondering if his career can recover, Deadmau5 was thrilled to see the EDM cash-in flop.

“Well if anything restored my faith in music, apparently that zac efron trying to be a DJ movie bombed out this wknd,” he tweeted on Monday. “Let’s make an EDM movie, they said. It’ll be fun, they said,” he joked.
