From what I read, its gross > budget. So that means it's not a bomb at all. Correct me if I am wrong, a bomb refers to a massive failure and not a modest success for a low-budget European film in a non-English language...

* CreativeDifferences: Due to the production being partially financed with British money, the original editor on the movie was British, but Creator/PaulVerhoeven fired him over creative differences. Job ter Burg and another editor were then asked to edit a sequence of the movie as a test. Ter Burg expected that Verhoeven would end up using one of his Hollywood editors, but was surprised to hear that he got the job several days later. He has been Verhoeven's steady editor ever since.

* TroubledProduction: The movie was almost canceled in 2004 when many of the foreign companies that had promised to fund the movie had not yet paid up. Production was abruptly green-lit again in the autumn of 2005, when the 16-million-Euro budget was finally secured. This allowed the production team only a couple of months for principal photography. Because of the delay there was a lawsuit regarding Creator/CariceVanHouten, who had agreed to act in a play. When van Houten was forced to return to the set, the theater company sued over the costly delay to their own production. The outcome of the lawsuit was that the production company had to pay €60,000 for her unavailability. Creator/PaulVerhoeven's health problems also caused a delay.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/RutgerHauer turned down the role of Gerben Kuipers.
