 2004 movies that were expected to bomb, but didn't Some of 2004 movies were expected to become box office bombs, but finally can make profit.
Some people in HSX talk about this topic, I think that it is interesting to talk. Would you people like to [suggest] some movies?
I think that those movies made some people (and me) surprised:
You Got Served
The Prince and Me
The Notebook
Saved!
Garfield: The Movie
King Arthur
Shall We Dance
What the #$*! Do We Know?!
The Polar Express

I expected Saved!, The Notebook, and The Polar Express to be modest hits.
King Arthur would still be a bomb, wouldn't it?

White Chicks was a very underpredicted movie. That's one movie I knew for sure would make over $60 million.

Yup. I just remembered National Treasure. I think the majority of people didn't expect over $100 million, let alone $150+ million.

Yeah, but studios only get about 25% of the overseas run. It's still not nearly enough to compensate for the huge costs.

Normally you can take about 45% of a movies worldwide gross and that is the studios take.
In this case it will turn a fairly large profit when it hits DVD.
