<font color="yellow">If the first AVP was a flop, why make another one? It can't be for the money?!?</font><br /><br />I hate to burst your bubble but 99.9% of movies are filmed to make money.<br /><br />As for AVP being a flop; <br /><br />Budget: $60,000,000 - rather low for these days<br />Opening Weekend: $38,291,056<br />Total box office: $171,251,996<br />-----------------------------------------<br />Profit: $111,251,996 - not counting DVD & video game sales.<br /><br />It's #5 on Box Office MOJO's "Sci-Fi/Horror" list behind Aliens, Alien, Signs and WOTW & the #9 film on their "Creature Features" list, just 2 places down from Aliens. <br /><br />Who would've thought? <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
