1* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $40 million. Box office, $605,562. This was entirely due to it being underpromoted after director David Twohy refused to recut the film to get a lower rating.
2* InvisibleAdvertising: ''Below'' got delayed for over eight months and was [[ScrewedByTheNetwork deliberately under-advertised by Dimension Films]]; not only did it still not have a trailer or a poster less than two weeks prior to its release, David Twohy had to create the official website himself.
3* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Dimension Films asked director David Twohy to recut the film so it could get a PG-13 rating instead of an R. Twohy refused, and Dimension retaliated by giving it a limited release with almost no advertising, ensuring the film would fail. If ''that'' wasn't enough, when they released it on DVD they jacked the price up so video retailers wouldn't bother stocking it. Twohy has not worked with Dimension Films since.
