In the vernacular of the industry,this is what's known as a "bomb".
Just out of curiosity dmorris, how many people do you think will pick up the DVD that wouldn't have been able to see the movie in the theatre during its limited run?
I guarantee this flick will make money as soon as it hits DVD. In today's Hollywood, a film's theatrical run is an extended ad for dvd sales, and this movie got coverage in spades.
