Camsdcute’s Lair

If you think every movie you watch creates millions of dollars, think again. Not all those who make it to the big screen are sure money makers. There are of course flops that didn’t achieve their target income, or worse, did not even match their total cost. Also, there are some films that went straight to CDs/DVDs or online for download and to be viewed on ipods or other video players.
