Wow, Im impressed

All I've been hearing about is this movie that only grossed $30. So I decided to check it out. First, I researched it to see why it only grossed $30, I dound out this is a huge misunderstanding. The movie was not to be seen in that Texas theater that it played in for 6 or 7 days. According to SAG regulations the movie had to be released for a week in order to be viewed in the US. Anyway, I thought it was a great movie, a little confusing yet intense. I personally enjoy movies that keep me thinking and wanting more. I bought a couple of DVD's for $5 each. Overall, I thought Leo Grillo did a fantastic job and I recommend people to give this movie a shot!

I'm very disappointed that this movie only made $30. It should of been in wider release. Superbabies: Baby Geniuses II deserves to make less than $30, but one freaking penny.

Wait, it had to be shown in theaters in order for it to go to DVD? There are ton of DVD movies that never went to theater at all.

Link to the explanation

Dang, I thought it was a joke when I read that it only made 30 bucks, looks like it was true then!

Anybody know where I can get this movie? I went to the website and don't see a way to purchase it.

Couldn't wait, I just picked up a copy on ebay for $9.55 including shipping from Australia.

I saw it in the shop today. Felt like buying it. Didn't see a price so I left it on the shelf.

Rent this from Redbox. I did & was pleasantly surprised. Certainly not the finest piece of cinematic entertainment I've ever seen, but I found it entertaining. Plus, it features Rick Medlocke of Lynerd Skynerd / Blackfoot fame!

You know, those two DVDs were the equivalent of 1/3 of the total box office intake and half of the opening weekend. That's so sad.

I paid $1.20 to rent it at RedBox. It was easily worth 70 cents, so I don't feel too cheated.
