Heads rolled at Fox for greenlighting it (sorry Bill Mechanic...). US gross was about 1/2 that budget, world eventually brought it up (and of course those $ are all shared with theaters). Having big success as a DVD was a new phenomenon, well after the BO fail was a done deal.

Yeah, I checked Wikipedia and I was misremembering some details around DVD expectations - Fight Club was quite literally the movie that set those expectations (okay, *one* of the movies... but a REALLY significant one). Regardless, it did turn a profit on DVD.
