Movie only cost about $30 million to make and the female crowd might just make this venture profitable for Summit

Quote:

Summit produced the pic for an estimated $30 million and presold foreign territories heavily to offset its cost exposure. The PG pic's cast includes Amanda Seyfried ("Mamma Mia!") and Vanessa Redgrave, with Gary Winick ("13 Going on 30") directing.

The more than 880 sneak previews offered on Mother's Day were 75% full, with 75% of patrons surveyed saying they would "definitely recommend" the film, so positive word-of-mouth among early patrons could help negate the effect of downbeat early reviews from critics. "Letters" should bank a sum in the mid-teen millions through Sunday.

These movies also tend to do very well on home video with the wives scooping them up.

yeah definitely one that will probably get most of it's revenue from home video sales and rentals.
