Life isn't fair.

It made money and thats why Hollywood is shit. Indie/independent filmmakers make shit at the box office but they can tell a great story.

Budget $10–20 million
Box office $67,520,213

No, I think Nuul is right, it has more to do with the fact that it made money. Doesn't matter how good it is or how badly it sucked, or what it's original source material is.. it's all about the $$$.

Of course it's all about the $.
Films are financed & made in the hopes of making a profit.

What production company or director has ever made a film "out of love & devotion" knowing it was going to lose money from the start?

Well yea duh this whole entire human civilization is about money. I new it was going to rake in money just from the trailer. The sequels going to be just as big if they just make it look cool.

By and large, yeah, but there are independent filmakers and subversive documentaries out there. It's not all hollywood bullsh#t.

Plenty of films get made hoping for a cult following and not quick profit....this movie was not one of them.

Seriously is a production company going to invest millions backing a director hoping his film will make a "cult following"..?

Investments are made hoping for the quick & steady profit NOT look back on a film that's been steadily paying out royalties because it hit "cult status" on the rental shelf.
