    Well, gross includes the money at the box office. The distributor only gets part of that.

    I think "21" did pretty well.... "By the end of its theatrical run, the film grossed a total of $157,802,470 worldwide — $81,159,365 in the United States and Canada and $76,643,105 in other territories, against a budget estimated at $35 million"

    Yet they never did the sequel which they bought the rights to.

    Who is they?

    I believe Kevin Spacey was the producer of 21 and that sick fuck's career is over.

    Some of you have seen this...
    I found this documentary/reality show on YouTube called "Jacks or Better", Its about a wealthy man who buys a small casino boat, and happens to be a gambler himself.


    It is in 2 parts, just over 20 minutes long.

    Part 1 of 2
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhNBcEzt_QU

    Part 2 of 2
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVZb_Pqq3kI

    It appears that the majority of this is factual. However, there is a sequence in part 2 of 2 which is probably the craziest few minutes I have ever witnessed at a blackjack table. THIS SEQUENCE STARTS IN PART 2 OF 2 AT 0:57 AND RUNS TO THE 5:30 MARK.
    I won't spoil it.

    This has been brought up before. This IS NOT a documentary!

    I'm sure there are a few who haven't seen it, and would enjoy it...

    I've been beaten by a 7 card 21, but never an 8 card 21.

    Plenty of people would enjoy Breaking Bad. It's also not a documentary. Calling it a documentary is harmful to anyone who might watch it.

    A documentary is allowed to have a perspective and still be a documentary. A spec shoot for a prospective reality show, on the other hand...

    Obviously reality shows are accurate because they're "reality".
