Wikipedia says that the box office for the movie Approaching the Unknown is just $10232. That seems ridiculously low for a movie with a budget of 1.3 million. Is this figure correct?

2No idea of votes (probably because there are too many easily google-able box-office websites) and 10k seems small indeed for Mark Strong movie. But the movie ratings are quite poor and 1.3m is not that much of a budget for a movie. And think of this: it came a year after The Martian. Add Solaris and Moon to same category and you get your comparison. It was doomed to failure. With 1.3m you do not get movie-marketing and distribution. And without this you wont sell even if you have a good movie.– PaharetSep 20, 2017 at 7:54

@Paharet: That is probably it. You should add that as an answer.– bobbyalexSep 21, 2017 at 0:09

@Paharet In hindsight, I should have probably asked how a movie with Mark Strong and the other guy on the monitor could have bombed so badly. Oh well...– bobbyalexSep 21, 2017 at 0:17
