Good news Watchmen has sold $163 Million dollars worth of tickets worldwide. Bad News: Watchmen cost $150 Million to make and needs to make close to $300 million just to break even.

Is this also counting US ticket sales as well? If it isn't I still would not call it a complete bomb.

it has done over $100 million in North American box office.

The 100 Million in US sales plus the 163 Million world wide equals 263 Million total. Still isn't that bad as they're saying, the movie should make up the rest in dvd rental and sales.

but of course, creative accounting in Hollywood will make sure the film is a "loser" if you get my drift

What did they expect; a $500 billion hit like The Dark Knight?
