Were These Movies Hits?

[PorcheRacer]

Alien: Resurrection
L.A. Confidential
Mystery, Alaska
Lethal Weapon 4


Also, how much did Collateral Damage make altogether? (rentals, overseas, domestic, sales)

I'd say L.A. Confidential but the rest I don't think so. But it depends on what ya mean by a "hit"?. Man look at me being all professional in writing http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Did it make money at the box office?

Well they all made money, are you talking about weeks in teh topf ive, cause I can tell ya, Mystery, Alaska wasn't a hit by that standard, and I don;t think Resurrection was either.

Alien 4 tanked, and mystery Alaska wasn't a hit by any standards. The rest I'm not sure of

[PorcheRacer]

Did they make a profit?

I was bored so:

Collateral Damage - $40 million USA + $16 million international = $66 MILLION (budget: $85 million)
Alien: Resurrection - $48 million USA + $105 million international = $153 MILLION (budget: $75 million)
L.A. Confidential - $65 million USA + $46 million international = $111 MILLION (budget: $35 million)
Mystery, Alaska - $9 MILLION (budget: $28 million)
Lethal Weapon 4 - $130 million USA + $138 million international + $61 million rentals = $329 MILLION (budget: $140 million)

[the movie guy]

Alien: Resurrection cost $70 million to make and grossed (in USA) almost $48 million so, no, it flopped.

L.A. Confidential cost $35 million to make and grossed almost $65 million in the US (all will be US only grosses). Obviously, this movie did quite well.

Mystery, Alaska cost $28 million, grossed less than $9m. (OUCH!)

Lethal Weapon 4: Budget = $140m. Gross = &gt; $130m. (I'm sure it got back it's money overseas and on video though, but I'm too lazy to do THAT MUCH research for ya. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif )

Collateral Damage: Budget = $80m. Gross (I only know for the theatres, but I'll include overseas here because you specifically asked for it) = $65.9m worldwide. (OUCH!!!)

Are you happy? Go to www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com) in the future. Every movie on there (well, 90% of them, at least) that has come out already has data on how much it grossed in theatres as well as other fun facts about the film. Enjoy!

Who the? What the? How the?

Sorry, Nate6, either I didn't notice your post, or we did these at the exact same time.
(Yours is more thourough though, so congratulations.)

Lethal Weapon 4 was a hit. Alien Resurrection was a BIG flop though.

I knew about www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com) but I find it isn't that accurate.
