They made this movie with $5 milion.

DELGO bombed harder. It went nationwide here in the U.S. and was made on a $40 million budget and only made $500k in the theaters. I'd rather be on the Motherhood team and only make about $132 on a $5 million budget than $500k on a $40 million budget.

EDIT: Delgo's imdb with box office http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361500/business

Boxofficemojo says it only brought in $50k in the US during the opening weekend but during its widest release it was only in 48 Theatres

Evidently even the Blu-ray transfer is terrible.

I remember seeing big banners at Blockbuster and thinking "....Did this open? "

that kind of explains it, but thats still awful , they couldnt have averaged more than 2 or 3 people per screening, depending on how many times they showed it that weekend even on one screen thats still pitiful

of all the movies to pull that marketing trick on, i dont remember seeing ANYTHING about this, the hype machine must have been in the shop or something
