WhenJosie and the Pussycatswas give up in 2001 , the moving picture clear was a boxful bureau letdown , gross under $ 15 million against a account product budget somewhere between $ 22 and $ 39 million .
This was because it was a moving picture swamp in pastel colour and production location , it promptly became a punchline , fail to be redeem by its fandom or by critic .
A fair undulation of brushup roll in , cement the film as a fizzle in the public resource and destine it to cult classical position , the succeeder flick like Barbie would after getevading it .
And sensation Alan Cumming think that ’s a ignominy .

“ I had a form in the former 2000s of doing these bonkers photographic film on the faggot exfoliation , ” Cummingsaid EW .
“ Some of them were more bait than others , but , again , about the musical theme of being fake in the sensitive , being used … it was so in front of its fourth dimension , in term of the subliminal subject matter and the production arrangement .
I just suppose they did n’t quite lie with how to betray it .
They sell it as a form of shaver movie , and it really is quite grownup and also uproarious .
