When you look at movie grosses today take a look at everything below the top two, which are "sucking up all the oxygen in the room". Keep in mind that movies like "Mean Girls" are probably profitable because they were shot for reasonable money. Troy will never turn a profit til video rentals and all foreign grosses are in that "might" allow it to make $100 or so; Van Helsing is a loser as are Soul Plane and Raising Helen; Man on Fire must gross $200 mil to break even so you can forget about it; Van Helsing cost $210 million including marketing costs and will never see a dime in profits. Again, if these jerk offs had to work on straight commission, would some of these movies ever be made?
