When we spoke last week with Marc Adler, the Houstonian who was the man behind the animated film Delgo, he said he was on pins and needles waiting the box-office results.
The news is in, and it ain’t good.
Despite being released on more than 2,100 screens, Delgo managed to bring in less than a million bucks in its opening weekend. That’s a record low amount for a film that opened on at least 2,000 screens.
The Hollywood website Defamer has at it here and pretty much tells the tale.
It’s a tough outcome for Adler, but no one said show business wasn’t cruel.
