it has an 82% RT score, 89% popcornmeter, and a 7/10 on imdb but imdb says it grossed $4,521,845 in worldwide sales.
budget numbers aren't available but some industry articles estimate it to have had a $50 million budget, and it spend $15 million in production in new jersey (it received a $5 million credit for the state, so that's public.)
ie. it seemed like it was a complete financial failure.
i watched it last night, and thought it was "okay" – not terrible, but not great. i don't understand why it has such high scores, but did crap in the theaters and does not seem to be a terribly popular movie.
did ya'll see it? what did you think? why does there seem to be a mismatch here, or am i just disconnected on this one?
