110759, studio execs dont say theyre "incredibly dissapointed" if its not a bomb Posted by 40thStreetBlack, Tue Aug-26-08 12:32 PM
which Harvey Weinstein said about Grindhouse. studios don't want to wait for DVD sales before they can recoup a profit, especially movies from an A-list director that they are banking on being a hit.
and the numbers you posted were gross, not net. there are still marketing and other overhead costs not included in those figures.
so no, it's not that simple actually.
