305 million to make,distribute and market? How can anyone make a sensible business case for such an investment? It was doomed to be a flop with such over-the-top costs. My daughter and I went to see it and she liked the movie, but come on, did they think this would top Star Wars or Spiderman?

The left spent a hell of a lot more than $305 million attempting to destroy Bush (and anyone who thinks they are done trying is crazy, impeachment is all the DUmmies talk about these days) and look how that "investment" panned out. Once this movie has worldwide distribution and later DVD sales, it will at least break even. Also, a lot of what I've read indicates that Hollywood often claims overly exagerrated costs to get more publicity for their movies. None of these guys is going to suffer any real financial setback due to this.
