The cast and crew’s lack of high-profile stars or significant marketing budgets may have further contributed to its obscurity and poor performance. The film was reportedly made on a modest budget—ranging from $1.5 million to $2 million—but marketing expenses and distribution costs likely pushed the total investment close to $10–$15 million. With only $2.4 million grossed, and theaters retaining about half of that, the studios recouped very little—likely less than a million dollars—making the project a financial disaster.
