Sorry Doc, but if someone has spent millions of dollars making a movie, it's a pretty sure bet that the company that made the movie is confident in getting a healthy profit back. There are very few movies like King's Speech or Slumdog Millionaire around which started out as unknown and untried and turned into a success. If it hadn't been for people giving the movie a chance and spreading the word about it, the chances are it would not have been. But, at no time did those movies sell cheap tickets.
