[QUOTE="Villano, post: 4155480, member: 505"] It would be funny if all the press translated into big box office, but Boll's films have all bombed. House of the Dead Cost: $12 million ($22 million with marketing) Worldwide Gross: $13,818,181 Alone in the Dark Cost: $20 million ($32 million with marketing) Worldwide Gross: $8,191,971 BloodRayne Cost: $25 million Worldwide Gross: $3,621,531 In the Name of the King Cost: $60 million Worldwide Gross: $11,457,796 Postal Cost: $15 to 18 million Worldwide Gross: $141,783 I'd say that all the negative publicity [B]is[/B] bad for Boll. The sad thing is that he won't ever stop making movies. No matter how bad the reviews, how much the viewers hate him, or how much money the films lose, he'll keep going on. Normally, I'd admire his desire to make films despite overwelming criticism, but the man is such an egomaniac and jerk that I have no sympathy for him. I remember reading a profanity laced letter he wrote to a critic who gave a negative review for Postal. He claimed the film was genius and the critic was jealous of him and wanted to sleep with his own mother, etc. Guys like Ed Wood loved movies. Boll is just a loudmouth bully who found a way to exploit the German tax shelter system. [/QUOTE]
