It lost money? Doesn't sound possible
says budget approx. 1M,and gross 600K.
Was this a ltd release? Wouldn't this had to be a hit for sequels to be made?
I guess it made its money as a video release back in those days. Video releases was a burgeoning market in those days, with films getting a limited release in the cinema and giving it a cache when out on video. This was a common way of getting funding for many British films in the late 80s. Pretty soon after we have many more movies that were straight to video.
Its that man again!!
If it only grossed less than a million in theatres, something is off. Knowing how many theatres showed the film would give us a better idea.
shareI'm sure it made more than that..... not millions upon millions but maybe only a small loss.
I agree the Video Market probably secured the Sequels production. Seeing that MC 2 was also a theatrical release this on must have done very respectable business.
