Ouch. Looks like another box office bomb from Universal?


$94 million worldwide on a $59 million production budget and it's released in pretty much 95% of the available territories. Shame that Gosling isn't that big of a draw. It was an excellent film!

It's the movie going public that doesn't have The Right Stuff, not the movie. Sadly, movies like this are largely ignored.

And why would they NOT be ignored.

The US went to the moon to prove something, and then dropped the whole thing.

In fact, after the moon shot was when we seemed to decide that maybe it is not
such a great idea to educate our kids any more, because they smarter they got
the more independent and rebellious they got.

Who wants to hear a story of what is really an ultimate failure that continues to
this day?

Have you seen the film?
