what a disappointment. i don't know how much it cost to make it- but i'm sure it will break even on it's worldwide theater run, then make that much more in DVD sales when it comes out.
sounds like a dismal failure to me....
Don't forget promotional costs. They're often the same amount spent on actually making the film in the first place. Further, the studio only gets half of the box office take; the rest goes to the theatre. In short, it'll take a lot of sales for this particular turkey to break even!
