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?  :D

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.
