But with Ben Affleck, Salma Hayek, Matt Damon, George Carlin, Chris Rock,
Alan Rickman, Linda Fiorentino, Janeane Garofalo, Alanis Morisette, etc.. you would think we'd be talking a huge $$ amount. I've never seen such a star studded cast (aside from cameo ridden spoofs) and I would hope that just presenting their names on the poster would draw more audience than the
numbers are presenting. I think that if there is one thing I would point a finger at, it would be the curse of Viewaskew marketing. Gramercy couldn't market "their way out of a paper bag" and it seems that Lions Gate couldn't do much better. At least I remember seeing the Mallrats trailer enough times to get me into the theater (and the trailer was interesting to boot), but Dogma? Hmm..
