At one point in time, Entourage was a popular TV show with critical acclaim and Emmy nods. As time went on, however, the show got less and less popular. It got to the point where it seems like no one really cared when it got a movie, as it barely made any money at the box office. In fact, if it wasn’t for worldwide numbers, it basically bombed. In America, it made $32 million on a $30 million budget and, even when you put in worldwide numbers, it made $49 million on a $30 million budget. If we’re being generous, Entourage was a disappointment at the box office in not an outright bomb. Why did it fail to duplicate the success of another long-running HBO show adapted to the big screen, Sex and the City??

While it was a very popular show, I don't think its success completely mirrored that of Sex and the City. I thought the movie was pretty decent but I don't really recall a huge buzz about it at the time of its release. These days with outlets like Netflix rebooting shows for limited releases, that might have been the way to go with this one instead of a feature film.
