These figures mean nothing. Billions - trillions - get wasted in Hollywood, as they continually pump out the same ol' formulaic, sanitised schmaltz. The herd lap it up, too. Sad. People are starving, for goodness sakes!
Most movies today - for that matter, most music - are "flops" in my mind. Garbage!
Nice review, Mr Reynolds. You can't beat the magic of the 1954 original.
(PS Is it true Mr Schmaltzberg is now remaking "When Worlds Collide"?? Good grief...)
