So, this is an infamous bomb. How big a bomb was it? Let's look at the figures. The movie had a budget of $37 million. It grossed $16.2 million at the box office. $21.6 million in foreign markets for a worldwide total of $37.9 million. It's US $16.2 million would be $40.3 million in today's money.

I don't shout it from the rooftops but I saw it in the theater. We were the only ones there. Lol. It has it's own kind of fun in a way.

Oh wow. Well, I bet you had fun.

I did. The parts where the doctor (Dean Rooney!) becomes possessed freaked me out a little. You can see a pic/gif of that in the op.

Oh, I understand.

Any closeted fans out there? Lol. It certainly wasn't cool to like the movie because it was such a notorious bomb, but I have learned to have fun with it over the years.

**Melis** · 05-26-2018, 01:25 PM

I don't remember much to like it or not.

Lea Thompson plans to pitch a new Howard the Duck movie to Marvel Studios

**Melis** · 06-13-2018, 06:55 PM

Oh, don't need that imo.

Maybe not, but he is part of Marvel and maybe it would be a good way to redeem the bomb of the first movie.

I guess that's okay.
