Oh, how soon they forget. Remember Waterworld?

Waterworld: The budget was an insane $175m. And it made $88m domestic. But it made $176m overseas. That probably covered marketing costs plus a smidge extra.

I suspect that the bad buzz from Waterworld and disappointed moviegoers partially explains why The Postman did so miserably.
