It's not that bad when it comes to low budget sci fi, the reviews are ok but will it make any money. Just think there have been some shit low budget films than have done real good, cloverfield, blair witch all made mega bucks. You never know but don't hold your breath.

Well the advice given so far has been pretty shite. I know how hard it is first hand to make money out of films having two family members in it.I've looked into this with one of them and the money we will get back from dvd sales and television rights world wide is peanuts. There are a few names that keep popping up when you look closer at this and one in particular besides Steve Christian has done very well and that's a guy called Martin Pope, he's had a few million over the years for several productions so far despite nice reviews they haven't come close to making any money. He's done alright out of it I'm quite sure.

So Disney don't mind if a film costs 120 million to make and rakes in half a million through sales. ...now if I was a share holder in that company and it lost a 100 million plus on every film I'd sell my shares quickly. Pope and Christian have been involved with plenty of movies over here some which have had a half decent review but not one has shown a profit. Closer to the edge is the only one to do anything.

Having spent a bit of time looking at iom film and box office takings they haven't done that well. The funny thing being is that the same names keep popping up. Martin Pope has done very well out of IOM Film not sure why as when you look at the films he has produced they aren't doing that well with the Box Office or DVD sales. The Cottage was a flop the latest one which cost 8 million low budget has so far taken a few hundred thousand dollars it ain't going to recoup the 8 million at the cinema so again another flop. Chico and Rita another Pope film, nice film but hasn't made any money. Why does the government back the same horse if it's never going to win.

Good excuse to get shut of a few inept managers, you get more hassle from building control for putting a shed up, plans, inspections ect ect, yet you spend millions on a road and nobody is checking whether the specs are being followed and the work done to the required standards.
