After he directs “Red State,” writer-director Kevin Smith (“Zack and Miri Make A Porno”) intends to make a $45-million-plus sci-fi space comedy about a father and his son.
The Weinstein Company may produce.
Would a $45 million Kevin Smith movie make money? His domestic theatrical gross track record, in millions:
$3.1 Clerks (1994)
$2.1 Mallrats (1995)
$12.0 Chasing Amy (1997)
$30.6 Dogma (1999)
$30.0 Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
$25.2 Jersey Girl (2004)
$24.1 Clerks II (2006)
One can add in DVD and foreign sales, but also subtract print and advertising costs and exhibition splits (remember that cinema owners get to keep about half of those grosses).
"Zack and Miri," made for about $25 million, opens Oct. 31.
