It's odd, all of the movies they listed as bigger bombs than Gee-Lee had a lower cost/revenue ratio.

What measure are they going by?

The # they quoted for Gili was for the opening weekend, not the entire box office...though, how could it possibly go up much?

...I liked Hudson Hawk, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Yeah the second weekend was like 200k though, so it's not like it's even going to clear 5m.

I liked Hudson Hawk too.

Not a clue... but you're right... it looks like some arbitrary listing...

So MiniT buying the Zoolander Special 12 DVD set saved my most hated movie from the list?

I notice Reds is not on the list. I thought that was supposed to be the all-time bust ahead of Cleopatra. Warren Beatty has a knack for making horrible, money losing films. Reds, Ishtar, Dick Tracy to name a few.
