    Album/movie/game/whatever grossing 0 dollars.

    Just a stupid topic, but I've always, always wanted to see previews for something coming out that just looks like absolute shite, and then actually have it sell 0 copies once it came out. That would make my fucking life, I tell you. I know it'll never happen (if no one else, there's always your mother to buy your shite).

    So, what are some of the absolute biggest failures ever? Here's some, imho:

    Album: Vanilla Ice's metal album

    Movie: Epic Movie? (looks absolutely retarded)

    Game: Anything that features hillbillies and off-road atvs

    There will always be some 'tard who buys the lamest game/movie/CD/whatever out there. I don't think it's possible for something to make $0.

    Having previously worked in game stores for five years I can honestly say that every game sells. Surprisingly, hillbilly/ATV games sell A LOT (and I was selling them in southeastern MA, not exactly Hazard County).

    I think the title should be "What should gross 0 dollars"

    To that, I'd say every Madden game after EA obtained all NFL rights. They don't even try anymore, some of their games are actually losing features.

    Epic movie will make a decent amount b/c so many people loved and hated every movie that they're making fun of that I'm sure they'll go see it. Plus you have the idiots that like those movies, like Scary Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, etc., etc. Those usually make alot of money.

    One move that made VERY little money was the American Idol movie with Kelly and that other finalist I dont even know his name, just that he has a weird nose and an afro. Alot of people havent even heard of it!

    I never said it was a MYSTERY why it didnt make alot of money.

    Also, there was that Britney Spears movie, and of course GIGLI.

    If you've ever seen a scary movie, and if you've ever thought about it long and hard. You'll realize those movies are a gold mine.

    They won't stop because retards keep going to see them. And with almost zero productoin cost, they won't stop anytime soon.

    Those people are making complete asses of them selves (Kal Penn, fuckin do anything for a dollar.. Crispin Glover, well.. he's just fuckin weird already) and they're getting paid very very well for it.

    If you check Boxofficemojo.com they're basically converting every one dollar that they invest into five dollars.

    It's a sad world we live in!

    pretty sure waterworld, although it grossed around 100 million, still grossed way less than its production cost, which was over 200 million.


    So it successfully generated negative revenue, which beats 0 dollars :D

    EDIT: ANOTHER COSTNER FLICK TAKES THAT TITLE:

    "POSTMAN"

    http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=waterworld.htm

    Made 50m over production costs, but really, only a 50 million dollar return on a 175m gamble is a loss in itself.

    However, we can rely on Costner for this stinker.

    http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=postman.htm

    The Postman. Wow, what a shitbox.
