million)
John Travolta's From Paris with Love grosses $17.9 million (budget:$52
million)
Mel Gibson's Edge of Darkness grosses $37 million (budget: $80 million)
I think the timing was wrong for all three films. In the case of Ford's film
they should have waited for the interviews about the movie to happen before
the movie was released. Better still timed it with another medical movie. It
doesn't help if the movie is mediocre as well.

This is a good point I think, especially where From Paris is
concerned. Put that same movie out between some summer pictures and

let's be honest, until Travolta is totally OK, NONE of these
pictures are going to do well.
I agree about From Paris being a summer time movie. The Jackie Chan movie
too.
Ford's movie is just a loose rip off of Lorenzo's oil which from what I'm
hearing is a better film. It does however bring to light the serious issue
of research not being done of rare diseases because it isn't good

Why is Jennifer Anniston still given scripts? This chick is so one-dimensional
its not even funny. That Meg Ryan for the decade is played out also.
I steer clear of chick flicks or romantic comedies like the plague. I
