271419, they didn't sell "well" ...only reaching 60 or 70 mill isn't big box office numbers

they sold moderate, but their 1st week sales were never explosive just like with grindhouse
they make their profit from DVD sales....
you lost because of you blinding hate on QT
grindhouse isn't design to make huge numbers, it's 3-plus hours long R-rated (damn near bordering NC-17) type film being released during the familiest of all familiest weekends which is Easter weekend...
just logic tells you that it wasn't going to sale, just look at the type of movies that topped it...
also a major film corporation wouldn't even give it the greenlight, i cannot picture something like dreamworks riding with the concept, but QT & rodriguez rode with it because of their own love filmaking. if it was all about making a profit, then they wouldn't of even TRY to make a movie like this. it's for their enjoyment and dedicated to their cult-fanbase
