Prophecy did well at the box office
I've seen several reviewers say this film was a flop, which is not the case. I saw this back in the theaters and the audience was above average. The film was made for 12 million dollars and grossed 21 million at the box office. Take into account the price of a movie ticket was only a about $2.50....that is a lot of business. Given that many films lose money or just barely manage to break even, a 9 million profit is considerable even after you subtract advertising.
