Nice!
Think I might pop in Woolworths at lunchtime and try and pick this up for a quid.

Was that the Box Office Gross worldwide?
"Jack!" "Daniel, how do I know you're you?" "Because." *pause* "OK good enough."share
I keep seeing it cited as such, despite the fact that it is only the US gross (Box Office Mojo actually has it at 23 thousand and something), and that it was released in other countries as well. Not that I expect the other numbers to help it much, but it's probably closer to 98%.
shareYeah, according to the-numbers.com (very well reputed website) this is the biggest flop of all time

a quid for that . outrageous
shareIt's the corporation's fault for giving the movie a $25,000,000 budget, but only releasing it on 17 screens across the USA. I hope they fired the genius who calculated that fiasco.
shareAs a matter of fact, I just saw it cos I bought it in Mr Pound for, er, one pound, but it was included with Buster (which I wanted to see again) and two other movies which I have yet to watch: Nightmaster (N. Kidman) and Love the Hard Way (A Brody). All for a pound. Makes me sigh a bit, since I actually enjoyed ATQM, in a Carry-On-Suffering sort of way. :) I hope Buster is better than I remember it, otherwise I shall demand 25p back.
Makes you wonder. Imagine gettiing nabbed by the DRM police for having downloaded any one of those movies. <sigh>
Be seeing you
The Biggest flop is Zyzzx road or something which made less than $50 on million dollar investment.
"What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left."
I bin on Zyzzx Road afore. Way out in the desert on the road to Rondelay though you might call it Baker. Used to be an insane preacher guy what drank goat's milk lived on it way out in hell. Them's were the daze.
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
SUPER SMASH HIT BOX OFFICE MOVIE YAAHH
"Underscore is your middle name, is it?"
it's probably even worse than that. The Budget of $15 million doesn't take into consideration the distribution and marketing costs.
