I think it's doing respectably for limited showings... but it was an extremely expensive movie to make (I heard around 80-90 million dollars), so I imagine it will take YEARS before it shows a profit.
Most likely through DVD and overseas sales.
Also, I believe 'Moulin Rouge,' 'Chicago' and 'Evita' all made under 30 million during their theatrical runs, so it seems 'PotO' is doing decent numbers, all things considered.
The stage show has grossed 3.2 BILLION dollars though, so I don't think ALW will be hurting much either way!  |
YEs - poor Andrew
Patti "Coulda, Should, Woulda" (

ALSO - the staging and the cinematography are Academy Award worthy - think Moulin Rouge only perhaps more a little less fantasy - though that elemant certainly if there. They were VERY true to the stage production in this regard.
I just loved it.
Also, yes, Gerard Butler's singing was not that great. It reminded me os Sebastian Bach as Christ in Jesus Christ Superstar (the touring one a few years ago) - only not NEARLY as bad as that.
But, he sufficed I guess - and he positively GLOWED sex in the Don Juan scene - my friend was fanning herself
