For most of this article you ignore that second number and just report budget vs box office, so that when you make your crass judgments it becomes entirely pointless. If I can't accurately judge profits vs loss, how can I possibly know if all your cute twee commentary is accurate or just more cinema-hipster posturing?

Don't get this one.

They don't need to pretend because they didn't spend a dime — Universal did!

So yeah, same price model.

They've only made 13 percent of the cost of the film, in over a month since release. None of the other films flopped remotely as bad – some even turned a (tiny) profit.

If you like great acting, intelligent dialogue, quirky characters, British sensibilities and a feel good ending, just do yourself a favor and watch it.
