How about Shrek?

I recall that the day that "Death on the Nile" was launched in the U.S., the box office receipts totalled over $4,500,000. That was a new record at that time

However, it now palls into insignificance. I can vouch that "Murder on the Orient Express" was very profitable

The difficulty is in getting any film company to declare profits as compared with box office receipts. Another conundrum is that for example, receipts from films like Carol Reed's "The Third Man" are still coming in.

You're ight, Ange, it did cost peanuts to make.

According to Wiki, the film was payed by mafioso money.
Somewhere else on the net I read, that most of the earnings was from laundring mob money.

by **Allan** » 05 Apr 2007, 10:48

Mille, I hope that now you've found out about the money laundering you will be returning your copy to the shop for a refund.
