The average box office revenues that go to the studio after distributor costs, etc. are factored out is about 55%. So, BM needs to make about $25.5 million in order to break even on production costs (that's a given now).

Well, I think its time some conservative movie maker makes a movie from the WIVES or Childrens view of these two characters.... show the destructiveness and abandonment that their selfishness leaves in its wake....

Instead of having to deal with the sympathetic lense of the gay apologists, show the true reality of it.

>my son is the one who said it had the same quality of a SciFi channel movie but without the liberal pc garbage they have recently started adding into their movies

On the DVD
commentary for "Alone
In The Dark," Boll says

his films are financed
by German investors who
get big incentives

from the government
(the German government) if
their film projects use

German resources.
So, Boll only answers to
scheming German guys,

not scheming US
social activists . . . Europe
is good for something!
