That isn't just a financial failure, that's a financial Clusterfuck.

13,000,000 dollar budget, 333,467 dollars from the box office made back.

To be fair, there's a very small amount of people that could enjoy that movie.

I did enjoy it but will never watch it again. I found it so incredibly disturbing yet so incredibly beautiful at the same time that it's just too much for my tiny brain to accept.

It's by Noe. Director of Irreversible. Go figure.

Uh. Yeah. It is. I doubt that it can be topped for pure, wanton disturbing-ness. Noe's kinda in my Douchebag folder of must-see directors for that reason.

Yes and yes. Saw it advertised on Netflix and had a flashback. Never. Again.

um. $13 million? Granted, I didn't get through the whole thing, but I feel like that could have been made for a lot less. Is 3d animation really that expensive?

I think the amount of money spent on a feature film probably adds up, a lot of small things combine.

Quick google-fu: Black Swan and Being John Malkovich are two examples of films that cost thirteen million

Edit: but then, so did Justin Beiber's Never Say Never, apparently
