Did this movie really only make $117K?
That's what IMDB shows. Was it only in limited release? Just at a film festival? Is the $117k a mistake?

shareIt looks like the $177,463 number is legit. Boxofficemojo has the same number.
Released Sep. 15th, 1989
Closed Oct. 19th, 1989,
only played in 8 theaters.
The wiki notes mentions that the guy who greenlit the production was fired 2 weeks into filming. SInce all the rest of the 'suits' weren't happy about the films general satire of Hollywood, it was a minor miracle it was released to theaters instead of straight to video.
If my memory is correct it played one week at one theater in Atlanta, it did run on Comedy Central a lot in the 90's.
