Post Production Details

After the New York premiere, the film opened in major U.S. cities on October 26th and then went on to wider release to 85 screens by November 6th. It garnered some glowing reviews but mostly a mixed reception. Todd's quote was apt, "All my films have divided audiences intensely. The most interesting films that have ever been made have always done this." The film's budget was $7 million and it grossed just over a million dollars in box office receipts. The VHS went on sale on May 18, 1999 (at a list price of $129! - at that time VHS releases were aimed at video rental outlets) and later was released on DVD.

I think that's a very notable thing about this movie, it may not have made truckloads at the box office, but DVD sales must be pretty good... tis why I thought when all their stars were hitting their peak about 3 years ago that they might have tried to capitalize and re-release it!
