What in the name of flippity-floppity Jesus are you two actually arguing about?

He's desperately trying to insult me.
He doesn't realize I'm not actually caring.
And yeah, still a Gorilla Victory. Write me two more paragraphs about it please, I'll definitely read them.

Definitely the reverse of the situation.

For a real non-smug antogonist answer, they're arguing about whether the movie will make back its money in DVD sales. Given the movie iself is just a remake of a well-known movie, I'm thinking the response is similar to the theaters, a decided "Meh".

Hollywood accounting is designed to make a loss.

Much of the movie's cost is services bought from the studio at a premium price and interest paid on loans from the studio.

So the studio made plenty of money but the movie is not profitable.

This kerfuffle is odd to me. Then again, I'm still pissed at Aliens Colonial Marines and am genuinely surprised it has its own fanbase who will vilify anybody who finds fault with it or with how it was marketed.
