IMDB trivia

At one point, the trivia states that the movie made five times it's budget. Later though, it says the movie was a box office flop. Either it made money, or it didn't. I understand that it was a box office disappointment because it didn't perform as well as expected. But, what the f-ck is going on here? Which part of the trivia is right, and which is wrong?

The answer is simple: It didn't bomb at the box office in 1980. It cost $6.5 million to make and brought in $24,265,659. This may be disappointing compared to the $85 million of "Every Which Way but Loose" (which cost $10 million), but "Bronco Billy" still made money, just no where near what producers wanted.
