Who pays to make this kind of movies?
Followings are from IMDB:
Budget:$16,000,000 (estimated)
Opening Weekend USA: $9,206, 17 July 2016
Gross USA: $33,258
Cumulative Worldwide Gross: $2,084,628
$2 mil box office? Not even enough to pay Kristen Stewart's salary. Not just this movie, Equilibrium and Gattaca are all huge money losers. And Equilibrium even has some decent action sequences in it.
I think investors really have to know nothing about movies to invest in this one, so I am really curious how could this movie get made in the first place.
