I'd like to share some numbers, as provided by Box Office Mojo.

First, this was the state of TLA about two weeks ago:

Domestic gross: $123,264,000
Foreign gross: $27,300,000
Total gross: $150,564,000
Production cost: $150,000,000
Total cost: $280,000,000 (plus a possible $10-15,000,000 if the cost of the last minute 3D isn't taken into account)

The current state of TLA, having been open for over a month, and then compared to four other summer movies, as typed up by my regular journal (robowolf):

Domestic gross: $128,951,000
Foreign gross: $53,000,000
Total gross: $181,951,000
Production budget: $150,000,000
Total budget: $280,000,000

This isn't the huge flopcrash we'd like but since the movie industry apparently only looks at the domestic gross for these things, TLA is looking more and more and more like a huge financial loss. It's taken them two weeks to gain just $7 million in the domestic market and it took them over two weeks just to gain back their domestic gross...and only by scraping by in the international market, where it is not being received nearly as well as Jackson Rathbone claims it is (warning for a HUGE DOUCHEMONKEY).

Thanks to wtf_tla for these links and info.

it's not a tan
