: : Hey now, J&SBSB made like ten million profit. I would hardly call that a box office bust. Now Mallrats, that was a box office bust. Plus J&SBSB isn't even out all over world yet. There are still dollars to be made!

Actually a film has to make four times it's budget in order to break even, so I doubt jay and bob has made any profit yet. But I really don't think profit was kev's motivation for the flick. It was about pleasing the fans. Now profit is always a nice thing and I'm sure that the video and DVD numbers will help the film immensely. Jay and bob is not dead yet and will continue to thrive when it gets released in Feburary.
