that a lot of money! Without gettting into too much detial, how did it cost that much? Did Shannon take $5 million? i read that "Chasing Amy" cost only $250,000. Seems like odd math. I'm also sure that "Mallrats' must have made its money back on video. I already bought the video and will get the DVD soon. That's money right there.
: ...of course not many people here hate Mallrats (I love it, too), but that doesn't have anything to do with its "bomb" status.
: I'll put it in black & white:
: Cost of Mallrats: 8 mil
: Opening Day Grosses: 400 000
: You get the idea? I can give you a hint: the grosses didn't go up much after that.
: Of course, Rats received some retribution from its video release, but by then it was alrady pegged as a Bomb.
