Total Lifetime Grosses

If it had cost a resonable amount without all these big money guys (Speilberg, Favs etc.) behind it, it would have been a nice little hit. Bet, he will be very careful about huge budgets for a while - except for Bond. Unless they are ongoing franchises, they are dangerous.

I was thinking the same thing. The real failure was that it cost waaaay to much and got caught up in the giant promo machine for all those high-end producers.

If it had been a little more modest, it would have been considered "a hit".

And to be honest, I cannot see where they spent all that money!

Extended features with many extras will be on the BluRay..

I guess it will make some decent money with DVD and BluRay sales.

I have a question ... on the 'homepage' there's a bit about this movie coming out on 6 DECEMBER with extended scenes and loads of bonus features etc... Brilliant but is this date for the US ONLY or does that include Europe?? Also, are all the extra bits only available on Blu-Ray??? If so, I may have to consider buying one since I only own a bog standard DVD. It's just money again innit???

Are you a customer @ www.amazon.co.uk ? Then log in and you must see the release date for UK.

There is no release date as yet in the UK.

Well, the dvd release for Europe can't be TOO far behind the States can it??? Before Xmas??? PUH-LEESE!!!!!!!!

If I were over 60 and had nothing to do on Wednesday, I could see C&A again at the cinema. My local odeon are showing it at 11am as part of their 'Senior Screen' series. I have been to a Senior Screen showing before actually - to see "Nine". The tickets were only £3 and the place was packed!!!

Finally seeing Cowboys and Aliens. Yet another flop of a movie I worked on for 7 weeks last summer... Curious to see how bad it really is.

C&A DVD is now available for UK order through Amazon....release date is December 26th which is complete lunacy.

This will guarantee they lose the Christmas market. Most people like their presents on Christmas Day.
