: The movie won't lose anybody any money. some people around here were throwing around figures like a 12-15 million dollar opening, and the film grossing 50 million domestically, but that was just stupid.
Exactly. The movie is a success, that's the bottom line. But people here and ESPECIALLY the guys over at Newsaskew were insistent that this would rival a Star Wars:Episode 1 opening. To rally those kinds of hopes is just unrealistic. Dogma, although the cast should have drawn more people in than the numbers are presenting, is doing quite well for a Viewaskew film.
