blad, i do know wot im sayin. and wot im sayin or askin is how can mary kate and ashley gain $500 million if their film was such a big flop everywhere?

reply

I think mka got paid the money BEFORE the film was a flop I mean they prob. signed a contract or something saying right, if you do this movie you'll get paid, (however much). They didn't KNOW before hand the movie was gonna flop so bad. They just lost money on it.

$500, million where does it tell you that?

they're only worth $300, million thats $150, million each and that's mostly the company 'Dualstar'

the money they actually earn each year is only $21, million

<<<<if ya want to know where i'm getting my info just ask me>>>>

They still make money by selling the rights to play the movie to home entertainment channels like moviemax, hbo, starz, etc. they also sell the playing rights to airlines so they can show the movies on their flights. plus, even if the movie flops, someone has to go see it so you know it was bad. i am sure some 10 year old had a birthday party and took 10 of her friends to see it in theatres. they may not have been paid $500 million but they still got some money out of it.

Actually they are worth almost if not more than a billion dollars.

They might be worth that now, but where i got my information from was off forbes.com and E!,
and they did mention that they would be worth a billion dollars by the time they were 20 if not before.
