This article says reviewers compare this movie to the A-Team movie. These reviews are dated before the A-Team movie came out. It is impossible. 71.185.250.142 (talk) 05:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)belthistoryguy[reply]

The A-Team was a television series long before it was a film. The reviewers are comparing it based on that and their own assumptions. Some reviewers draw comparisons to "the Dirty Dozen" but the A-Team is mentioned in nearly every review, it just had to be mentioned. -- Horkana (talk) 18:21, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers see movies before they come out 71.194.44.209 (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox says 27 mil but the reception sections says "The film went on to earn $23,543,581 in the United States and $26,643,420 worldwide.". So is it 27 or 49? --65.10.51.35 (talk) 01:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know the United States is still part of this world, so worldwide still includes the United States. So $27 million would be correct, well it went up a bit since the last update. Take a look at the references, $23,591,432 (Domestic) + $5,143,080 (Foreign) = $28,734,512 (Worldwide). _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 08:51, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I deliberately used numbers [rounded to nearest million] in the text, the extra detail doesn't make for pleasant reading and editors are better at keeping things like the infobox up to date. The figures drifted and needed to be updated. Release on DVD might change the figures some more but they should not change too much more. -- Horkana (talk) 02:58, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't calculate a movies profit simply by subtracting the production budget from the total gross. The production budget covers only the production and does not take into account marketing expenses. The gross is gross revenue, ie the value of all of the tickets sold to the movie. From this you have to subtract the percentage that goes to the theater owner, which averages about 50% but varies from movie to movie and even from week to week (early weeks tend to give a higher percentage to the film distributor while later weeks give a higher percentage to the theater. Thus rather than making 12 million it is possible, though not certain without taking into account worldwide DVD sales and broadcast distribution rights that the movie may have lost money.

The unsigned edit by 222.155.38.239 was me. My bad Falcon5nz (talk) 03:43, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

48% only is not mixed reception, its bad reception by default. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.150.23.44 (talk) 10:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Box office Mojo doesn't be a reference for the DVD sales. Where is the reference for DVD sales? --Ophelia Bogner (talk) 15:32, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, not sure why Box Office Mojo was mentioned. The only other source I can think of is The Numbers, which here states $14.2 million in DVD and Blu-ray sales. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
