“Matt Damon! Matt Damon!”
At this rate I'll never see it make money in my lifetime. I don't know what production costs are to put a movie out on DVD/BlueRay, but they may want to reconsider that as well. If you find yourself in the hole, stop digging...
For example, the two leading actors in Alice, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter previously starred in Sweeney Todd, which was, by all accounts, a real stinker.
In its opening weekend, Todd was ranked at #5 and took in a measly $9 million and had a total domestic gross of $52 million during it's entire run. (See: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
Yet, the very same actors in another movie (Alice) are a hit.
