Trivia / Flowers of War

• Box Office Bomb: The movie was the most expensive Chinese production at the time of its release, with a hefty $94 million. And despite making a respectable 95 million dollars in its native country the movie would still have to give back 55% of its gross to Chinese theaters, meaning it would have to rely on foreign grosses in order to make back its budget. That didn't happen. The film was completely rejected by international audiences, making a measly 2 million in foreign markets. You can read more about it here.
