like anyone couldn't have told them this movie was going to be a loser.

[kilroy69 1,014]

I tagged it as a bust as soon as I seen the preview. Just stupid.

[Strike 4,042]

I haven't seen it but was it just a remake of the old poseidan adventure from the 70's? I am so sick of Hollywood not having any creativity left so they just remake old movies with new actors and updated special effects.

I don't see Waterworld.

 

I like it and I know most people hated it. It was supposed to be the biggest flop ever.

yeah, i'm pretty sure it was just the same as the 70's version...which i heard sucked too. why they decided to break the bank remaking a suckfest, we'll never know.

that movie cost all the actors their lives though.

[kilroy69 1,014]

Who makes a movie for $218? I mean really the film seems like it would cost more than that.

you'd think the film for the camera would cost more than that.

Maybe it was done digital and distributed via viral video

[BMoney 0]

interesting site!

 

i assume these numbers simply cover ticket sales at the theatre?....

 

im sure tv rights and video rental sales would be a big factor also..

 

i wish they had pure attendance numbers..ticket prices were cheaper years ago..Im assuming older movies like Casablanca would be up there in pure viewer numbers...
