LMI Is a Box Office Flop

[ColBlair]

I'm wondering also cause they thought it was a Twilight knockoff. I wonder also, what movie came first in Sweden? Let the Right One In or Twilight?

Let The Right One In, 24 of October. Twilight, 21 of November.

Thanks.

... nowhere near its $20 million production costs.

I'm surprised LMI cost that much to produce. There must have been a lot of wasteful spending. I don't remember seeing any obvious special effects in it, but maybe I've just forgotten them.

they went to new mexico because of tax credits and cheaper production costs, if they filmed in california it have easily cost twice as much. but by way of american films these days, they got off pretty cheap, and to cast chloe moretz now would be more expensive as well.

I don't understand.

LMI received tax credits to film in New Mexico, which had areas that snowed in the Los Alamos area, to film in CA would have been more expensive iwth the higher labor costs. And since the release of Kick-Ass, Chloe is now one of the most in demand child actresses, so obviously her salary has gone up. Of course I imagine like so many actors like Nicholas Cage or Bruce Willis, if they really like a project they would take a pay cut.

Awww... I wish I could be cruelly happy about this, but I just can't. Maybe it'll recoup something more on DVD? Hey, Matt! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry it didn't work out!

Sorry Matt. It's not you, it's me. x)

Now I understand. Thanks very much.
