Re-dactject-ed!
As always, the free market speaks louder than any propagandistic film director (or those "playahs" who are led down a primrose path by one.) I heard that Mark Cuban actually tried to sell the film back to De Palma, an offer which was politely declined. Which makes this particularly sweet:
Brian DePalma's award winning anti-war movie earned $25,628.
It was made for $5,000,000.
That is a .5% return.
My first documentary cost $35,000 to make, and thanks to the supporters of the Outside the Wire project, has made $23,464 or 67% return.
When one guy with a camera is beating Hollywood in rate of return and almost beating Hollywood in gross receipts--Hollywood has a problem.
Yep. A big one. (h/t Glenn Reynolds)
