Okay, that is such a friggin' lie! If it was such a flop, then how do you explain THIS?! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088814/business
I honestly dunno if that's really official. But I sort of believe it. What do you guys think?
If it was never really a flop, then I'm guessing they just shunned the movie because of its dark nature, which is such a load of BS! >:(
Ben, that's not the gross for each of those days, that is the TOTAL gross up to that date.
shareI feel that any film that loses out as the best-selling animated film of the year to that god-damn awful Care Bears movie (which this film did - even though it trumps the former by a long way) is definitely a flop!
Still at least people seem to remember The Black Cauldron more fondly now, 24 years later - I loved the original novels by Lloyd Alexander

What it is saying is that the movie cost $44 million to make and only brought in $21,288,692 total. The gross numbers are cumulative, not per weekend. In two months it only made back $21,288,692. This movie lost $22,711,308 for Disney in the year it came out. Monetarily, it was a flop because it made back only just under half of the money that was put into it.
Just because a movie was a flop doesn't mean it was a bad movie. It's not something to get angry about. I mean, even Rocky Horror Picture Show was a box office flop the year it came out! (Though, unlike Black Cauldron, it has more than made up the difference since!)
