People DO make a difference

King Artur
Development budget ~ $ 90 million
Gross (USA) $ 50 million (total revenues will barely cover development costs)

Knights Tale
Development budget ~ $ 41 million
Gross (USA) $ 56 million

Violets are blue. Roses are red.
And no amount of "professionalism" can save weak movie from losing money.

correct me if I'm wrong - El Mariachi had a budget of 18,000 USD
turned to be enough to make a great film

Actually, it had $7,000 production budget - and $220,000 post-production.
