This movie cost $80 million to make???
how?
share$20 mil. ea. for Paz, Tia, The Water Boy & the dog?
shareSandler - $20M
Brooks - $3-5M
The rest, is unexplained...particularly since it was essentially a single-location shoot, SoCal at that, and no CGI or special effects to speak of.
Whoever greenlit this POS at this budget, should have been *beep*
I mean think about it, that same year Meet the Fockers was made with the same $80M budget.
All of these were also 2004:
The Bourne Supremecy cost $75M.
Hell, National Treasure was packed with CGI and effects, and cost just nominally more at $100M.
Dodgeball cost $20M.
Million Dollar Baby cost $30M.
Anchorman cost $26M.
The Passion of the Christ, cost $30M.
Collateral with Tom Frickin Cruise and Jamie Foxx, was made for $65M.
All of these provided significant worldwide revenue vs their production budget.
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
