"but the film stands out as the defining counterpoint to the “Rotten Tomatoes can make or break a movie” narrative." -- or it just being a depressing looking film is the issue.

several 2013 movies will end up in profit, including This Is the End ($50 million in profits), Grown Ups 2 ($48 million), Captain Phillips ($39 million), American Hustle ($27 million), One Direction: This Is Us ($18 million), Elysium ($18 million) and Monuments Men ($10 million). Several other movies will not make a profit, according to the document (Monuments Men was scheduled to be released in 2013 but was pushed to 2014). #box_office #numbers #my_porn #geeky #movies #media #research #pub
