Wikipedia help

**mced** · 01-08-2007, 12:35 PM

Now that I have more free time and a broken computer that prevents me from doing many things, I'm working in the JLH Wikipedia article in Spanish; I'd like to work in the English one, but I'm not enough skilled in this language (anyway, both have a lot of mistakes, mostly in Love's childhood).

I need some help:

- English Wikipedia says The Tuxedo was a "box office bomb". Is that so?

- Again, English article lists these awards:

Blockbuster Entertainment Award — Favorite Female Newcomer (I Know What You Did Last Summer) (1998)
Blockbuster Entertainment Award — Favorite Actress (I Know What You Did Last Summer) (1998)
People's Choice Award — Favorite Female Television Performer in a New Series (Time of Your Life) (2000)
Family TV Awards — Favorite Female Actress (Ghost Whisperer) (2006)

No more?

Thanks in advance.

english article of "The Tuxedo" says

Box office
On a reported budget of over $60 million, the movie grossed only $50,547,998 in the United States. In its opening weekend the film ranked in a moderate $15 million from 3,022 theaters.

so no real "bomb" I guess

I don't think The Tuxedo did as well in the USA as most people hoped for, but it did really well in the UK....

It's really hard to say what a 'bomb' is, it stayed in the UK Top 10 for many weeks...

That's right. People say a film has 'bombed' when it's not made back it's budget. Films like Waterworld bombed as it cost $175 Million to make, but only made $88 million at the U.S. Box Office.

As for Love's awards, try this link... http://imdb.com/name/nm0001349/awards
