  • Box Office Bomb: Budget, $92 million. Box office, $62,362,560 (domestic), $143,049,560 (worldwide). Universal pressed on with the release date (two months after 9/11) when they found that test audience scores improved after the attacks. It got generally good reviews upon release and held the number three spot at the box office for two weeks, before falling flat afterwards.
