Lavoe and Colon then parted ways and the public questioned whether or not Lavoe could make it on his own, but Lavoe proved even more popular as a solo artist.

In total, Mel invested $30 million of his own money to produce The Passion Of The Christ".
Now imagine you are a professional golfer, you are in contention for first in a tournament and an $850,000 payday, and you end up taking home only $276,000 instead, because of one errant shot. Winning over a quarter of a million dollars is nothing to be angry about, of course, but taking home $850K would be a whole lot better. That is exactly what happened to PGA star Dustin Johnson at the WGC-HSBC Champions Tournament in China recently.

Abrams to be satisfied?
Jack was also ordered to personally pay $44 million in restitution for defrauding the Indian Tribes.

With odds like that, if they did win, a small bet could make a good amount of money. If they didn’t – eh, you don’t lose much.

As you can see, even the least popular movie related to the Avengers franchise, 2008’s little-loved The Incredible Hulk, has raked in a respectable box office gross of over $263 million. That means that none of these films can by any objective measure be called a flop, which might in turn lead some to feel that Marvel is due for a real Waterworld-style disaster – perhaps a Namor the Sub-Mariner movie would be appropriate, given all the waterlogged flops that have popped up over the course of Hollywood history (Cutthroat Island and The Abyss are two others).

The policy dates back to Lee’s time at USC. He paid a $94,600 premium to Lloyd’s to cover him in the event that he fell in the draft due to an injury.
