Fight Club
“It didn’t surprise me that some people didn’t think it was funny. It didn’t surprise me that some people thought it was morbid. It surprised me, the people who went out of their way to save other people from this experience. Here’s a tricky thing: if you spend fifteen million, it’s not even a pimple on the ass of that kind of multinational media conglomerate. But if you spend sixty seven million, they gotta release your movie. I happen to know that the movie’s in the black, but there’s receipts and there’s worth. They are two different things. Because there are movies that make money and there are movies that are worth money, and sometimes the movies that are worth money, make money later on.”
— David Fincher, on commercial reaction to Fight Club
