Early test screenings werewith a"tepid" response from audiences. Everyone in Hollywood was bracing for one of the biggest commercial disasters of all time.
December 1997 was already pretty stacked with releases, including a new Spielberg movie , a new Tarantino movie , a new Scorsese movie a sequel to a hit horror , and a bunch of potential Oscar-magnets .except to put it up against Tomorrow Never Dies and hope for the best. And as we all know now... it worked out for everyone, except James Bond.to top the box office charts on its week of release.
