The Lord of the Rings is not a Hollywood production, it was entirely a New Zealand production. Star Wars was utter crap. As for movies, why can't we see more Westerns and things like that?
You are exactly right. Hollywood will NEVER release the marketing costs of this movie, it is pure propaganda and as such it is the agenda that matters, not profits.
Hollywood knows perfectly well how to make a movie that will be a blockbuster, but this wasn't designed to be one of them. That is why they did not use "A List" actors, etc.
Westerns don't sell. And the LOTR triology was put out by Newline Cinema. Its Hollywood.
Um Dude it cost 14 mil to make. I seriously doubt they've spent 80 mil on marketing.
The movie makes money from pay per view, the paychannels, ie.., HBO etc and video sales and rental.
Oh it "grossed" allright.
That's what its taken in. Got a dispute with that?
I have no doubt that every gay has seen the movie at least twice, I'm not one who disputes that it made money.
So and teenage girls are what made the Titanic earn 800 mil... what's your point?
My girlfriend pulled me into going. Lots of girls apparently like the film. Chick flick with guys.
