Well, <a href=http://www.bakerstreetdozen.com/loeg.html target=_blank>The League of Extraordinary Gentleman</a> is based on a rather obscure comic book series, so the question is will it find a large audience.
Comparing how well a second-tier character like Daredevil did in comparison to what Spidey, the X-Men, and Hulk have or will do at the box office, something tells me only the most hard-core enthusiasts are going to go see it.
Besides, the charcaters in LXG are all based on literary figures... how many people are even aware of who Allan Quartermain, Mina Harker, and Dorian Gray are? (And do you think they'll flock-- no pun intended :lol:-- to see a movie where Tom Sawyer and Captain Nemo team up with the Invisible Man)?
