The $70 million production earned $119 million in the US and $180 million overseas (it was his biggest-grossing non-sequel since ET). Still, fair or not, it was considered a box office disappointment and a critical disaster. I was always liked it just 'ok', and I've actually been kind of curious to revisit the film since I haven't watched it in at least fifteen-years.Scott Mendelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131426080984100749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-17881305128764148452009-08-19T17:51:27.741-07:002009-08-19T17:51:27.741-07:00GREAT job with this piece.

Although can't remember people paying to see the trailer to the Spielberg blockbuster. As for the trailer to The Dark Knight, I had no idea it was coming when I was watching trailers before a movie that I was going to see. It was a pleasent surprise and it gave me chills when I was watching it. One more thing- about HOOK, while it didn't open big it had legs and made good money. I might be in a minority but I loved the film and still do.chuckhttp://entertainmenttodayandbeyond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-33178316961557423152009-08-19T17:47:15.633-07:002009-08-19T17:47:15.633-07:00Yes, RL, the second trailer premiered on March 12t...Yes, RL, the second trailer premiered on March 12th with Wing Commander, not over Oscar weekend as I originally remembered.
