So there you have it. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I 'm sure when converted to HK Dollars it's pretty impressive, but compared to other films released in the states, it doesn't even compare. For example: The sequel to Jurassic Park, The Lost World holds the record for the largest opening weekend in history. It made somewhere around 90 million dollars in 4 days. That's roughly three times the amount that Jackie's biggest success, Rumble in the Bronx, did here. Films are considered successful if they gross 90 million in their entire run.

Personally, I think Jackie is much too talented to be making such small bananas at the box office.
