Unfortunately Red Dawn was a huge flop, one of the biggest box office flubs of the 80's, so you'll wait a long time.

Red Dawn grossed nearly $36M in the US:

I wasn't able to find an authorative reference to the cost of production, but several reports put it at 8.5M. From what I remember, it wasn't exactly a high-cost production.

That's hardly a flop.

Yes, I was wrong on this -- as I said above, my sense that it was a flop came from the producers, who were friends of mine, and were hugely disappointed at the time, relative to what they had hoped for.
