WTF?[edit]

WTF is up with the overwraught description of Eris?

I agree, this article is in severe need of a good clean-up.

Score[edit]

I've heard this score, and it's quite remarkable. It sounds different coming from Harry Gregson-Williams. Should they add a section about this score in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Surten (talk • contribs) 03:20, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cast Thing[edit]

Some idiot added useless pieces of information of the actors and actresses' roles in other movies. Is that even necessary?? I cleaned it up. I mean, this article is about the movie, not people's old jobs. Serpentine17ice 08:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sequel[edit]

Should this film be considered a sequel to the Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists? The similarities are obvious. Pictureuploader (talk) 10:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clean Up[edit]

I agree. This can be expanded even more than this... I had a short with my DVD (Cyclop's Island).

a $125 million loss on the film, that had an 80 million dollar budget[edit]

How did it loose $125 million, if it only cost 80 million to make? Dream Focus 19:49, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This movie actually cost $60 million to make it clear to you. This film most likely lost money on marketing costs. --97.113.208.181 (talk) 17:57, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Evan Kalani Opedal[reply]

That would mean they spent over $100 million on marketing, which is almost twice the movie's production budget. This would be an insane amount today and even more so in 2003, so I get the feeling that something is not right with these numbers. Compare that to The Road to El Dorado, which had a budget of $95 million and grossed only $76 million, so performed even worse than Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas and yet it isn't even in the List of biggest box-office bombs. (Lord Gøn (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2023 (UTC))[reply]

Agree, this section needs clarification. It cost $60M to make, made $80M, but lost $125M. If this is from the marketing budget, that should be clear in the article. Spiffulent (talk) 16:58, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

production[edit]

Why wasn't this film the third from Dreamworks Animation if this is one of the first films he had in mind when Dreamworks was founded? Did he have to wait until the completion of the Road to El Dorado? When that movie flopped, he decided to instead of making a seven film franchise about Sinbad to make one film. --71.212.110.117 (talk) 04:23, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Evan Kalani Opedal[reply]
