It must have been a limited release because the lowest grossing wide release was some shitty CGI movie that came out this year.

[pshh]

i could have done better with that 2 million budget

[JustSway]

Good. Fuck Katherine Heigl.

Grillo decided to pursue foreign sales first and worry about a legitimate domestic release much later, betting on the rise of Heigl's and Sizemore's Hollywood profiles (Grey's Anatomy soon grew into one of TV's highest-rated shows, and Sizemore landed a VH1 reality show). Regent Entertainment started hawking the foreign DVD rights, eventually selling the film in 23 countries, including Bulgaria, Indonesia, and Portugal. By the end of 2006, it had generated around $368,000. ''It was completely out of my mind,'' says Penney. ''Every month or so I'd run into Leo and we'd say, 'Yeah, yeah, we gotta make sure we get a good situation with the domestic deal,' but it was way off my radar.''

Speaking of movie failures, wasn't Monkey Bone one of the biggest financial losses ever too?

On Delgo (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/delgo/)
On its opening weekend, the film opened poorly at #18 with $511,920 breaking the record for the lowest opening weekend in wide release.[23][24] During its six-day release on December 18, the film has grossed $694,782.

The film received very poor reviews from critics and is considered one of the biggest box office flops in history. The film grossed $5 million domestically and had a world wide take of $7 million, meaning Monkeybone made only one tenth of its budget.
from wiki, I actually saw this in theaters

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Jesus, that's quite the reputation to have.

Ouch, I feel for you man. Terrible film. I liked Bedazzled, though.

[acfrue]

Gigli?

Hahaha me too! My dad and I were going to see Recess: School's Out, but that ended up being a spanish version and I fucking hate those. So we snuck in to see Monkey Bone. I actually kind of remember liking it a bit... It seems like ages ago.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

Gigli?
I found this on wikipedia:

The movie was considered a bomb, often called the worst movie of 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Films_considered_the_worst_ever), grossing less than $4 million in its opening weekend after costing $54 million to make. Gigli also set a record for the biggest second-weekend drop in box office gross of any film in wide release since that statistic was kept; it dropped by almost 82 percent in its second weekend compared to its first.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigli#cite_note-1). By its third weekend in release, only 73 U.S. theaters were showing it, down from 2,215 during its first weekend, a drop of 97 percent. The film was withdrawn from U.S. theatres after only three weeks (one of the shortest circulation times for a big-budget movie), earning a total of only $6 million domestically and $1 million abroad. In the UK, the movie was dropped by virtually every cinema after critics panned it

[Rawrr]

I remember reading an article on this movie in EW a while back, it only opened in like, one theater.
So there you go.

[Ailite]

Haha, Delgo was such a big failure

[Rawrr]

I saw a commercial for Delgo once, looked awesome.

[Robototron]

Holy shit, Zyzzyx Road! I always drive past that on my way to Vegas and laugh at the hilarious name. Reminds me of the Superman villain, Mxyzptlk.

[anamericangod]

Monkey Bone, what a disaster. Almost killed the studio.

They were trying to prove that Dreamworks and Pixar weren't the only one's who could be successful with CGI. Very wrong.

[drudo182]

I've still never seen Gigli.

[dissident]

[MakeYourMove]

I work at a movie theater, I remember a mom asking her kid if he wanted to see it and he just saying "No."
Pixar and Dreamworks are too good at what they do

Just sayin, that was their mindset. It was in production for 10 years.
