I doubt very much that it will do as well as Alexander or Troy.
HOWEVER, it doesn't have to.
Alexander cost $150 milion, and Troy cost $185 million, whereas the cowboy film was under $20 million.
Troy wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...
Only the investors care if it's a financial success or not. The impication from the article & your comments was that was going to be a popular success since, "Holly cow! It's playing in Plano!"
That's really not even on the table as a possiblity, but, as I said, the media (and you apparently) will attempt to spin it into one.
