The last one didn’t do all that well — less than 100 million domestic and it probably cost more than that to make and market it. Between foreign receipts (apx. 100 million) and DVD sales It will make a few bucks but you need solid numbers (north of 200 million domestically) to make a franchise.
They might take another shot at it, but I am hearing that no one wants to work with Crowe for any price. The fact all his latest films have bombed doesn’t help.
I wonder if he isn’t financing a lot of this one himself to try to get back on the winning track.
I’d pay to see it and his performance.
He and Ridley Scott seem to have gottten along ok. Am I missing something?
