I think $125 million was spent to make the series. But it ended up being released about 3 weeks after 9-11, which hurt ratings. So, I just wondered if it ever made money or ever broke even?
Wow, that's just DVD sales. I'm sure the series earned a lot of other revenue besides that. I can see why another simular series, would be made. I noticed Dick Winters has his own web site, MajorDickWinters.com. Looks like a number of people made out very well on the series. Too bad Lewis Nixon didn't live long enough to see the series, or make out on the deal.
I originally bought the series which came ina Tin Can, and I got them shortly after release at Best Buy-then the cost was $94 plus several dollars tax. Nowadays you can get them in the same Tin Can-for under $50.
Not sure of how much it cost to make. But my boy liked the 88mm that had a (silent) part in the series. Stewy
I believe the cost to make the series was 120 million US dollars, so that would make a 200 million $ revenue outstanding!
The series certainly deserves at least that much for the simple fact of bringing the genre back into the memories of modern day TV watchers.
No matter how much money it made, I will always love the series regardless. They truly gave me a sense as a 12 year old kid of what war was really like.
