Forums - Movies & TV - Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For : The biggest bomb of the year?

Maybe it's because you can read A Dame to Kill for in a matter of two minutes?

I think the gap (9 years?!) from the original had a lot to do with it. It was in development for a long time and much of the enthusiasm around it seemed to peter off the longer it took.

It does seem to be the biggest flop though as no way it comes close to making any money.



Marketing could have been a problem.

I had no idea they made a sequel to this movie till today.

I don't think the marketing budget for it was strong. I didn't even know it was out and I go to movie theater quite a bit.



Not sure. How much the ninja turtles did? (commercially)

I didn't know it was out yet to be totally honest...I loved the 1st one.

With a Budget of 60-80 million, and with the original making well over 100 million dollars domestically, it seems the Sequal has floundered.

I say it was either way to violent, or people have moved on. Was it not put out nearly a decade ago? Or is there another reason? Did it only come out Sunday night? Was there a global power outage for Sin City films only?

According to Boxofficemojo it was released on 2894 screens, and I doubt it will get anymore.

 

There have been other bombs, but I cannot help to think that this is one of the biggest. Especially with how big the DVD/BluRay was, the ratings it gets on television and how much the first one made.

 

Agree?


same budget with resident evil 5 ,what the f...k!is there any special effects in this movie?:Pspurge ,box office of the first movie was 159M and the bugdet 40M:P you re unjust and hasty,only four days has passed since its release in usa , you and analysts are calling it a bomb ,why...?it could make some money from dvd/br like aliens vs predator requiem did,(28M) and wait for europe ,japan and some other  countries release:P



I always said no one cares for Sin City it was just blown up for its time..

Like Need for Speed 3D, people don't even realize the movie has already been release until a month later.

Poor Sin City a dem to kill for 3D.

I plan on seeing it in 1 or 2 weeks from now.
