MovieGuyKyle17 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I remember it looking awful too, although that can be said for any movie starring Rob Schneider. I like Rob Schneider but he only works when he is with Sandler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherface Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, given that it was a CBS Films release, was probably intended to go wide at some point yet the widest it got was 524 theatres. Another is The Apparition. While it technically was a wide release at 810 theatres, I can pretty much guarantee it was originally meant for a 2,000+ theatre release. Just recently, I'm guessing Lionsgate originally had plans to go wider with Stand Up Guys than they ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I`m happy to say that all Viggo Mortensen movies after the bomb Hidalgo never went into wide release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 So they bombed wide? Excellent! AHoV- 31.5m DOM/60.7m WW against a 32m budget. Not a bomb. Eastern Promises- 17.3m DOM/56.1m WW, budget unknown. Status unclear (but it's a great movie). Appaloosa- 20.2m DOM/27.7m WW against a 20m budget. Not a bomb domestically, but like all normal Westerns it had limited overseas appeal. Viggo hasn't had a film release in more than 1408 theaters at any given point since 2004 since all of his projects are more indies and prestige ones. Given that limited scale of releasing, his films haven't bombed, he simply has deliberately chosen projects where box office returns are unimportant.
