Did this do poorly at the box office?

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2017)

I thought I heard somewhere that this movie was a box office bomb or did poorly financially. It became infamous or something. I must have been thinking about the movie "Alexander". I was also reminded of "300" while watching this. How many movies featuring loosely based historical battles were there made at this time? Anyway, I guess I'm not that familiar with the Illiad and I'm not even sure how factual it is. Then again, this didn't have any supernatural stuff, so it seemed pretty realistic to me. I admit that a flaw of this was that it was a bit too long.
It seemed to take way too long for the famous Trojan horse to appear. It's still a good movie. It's odd how a fair number of critics didn't like it even though Leonard Maltin gave it three and a half stars. Good for you, Leonard! What I love about this movie is how epic it is. We get such wonderfully detailed battle scenes. I think my favorite part would be when they shoot these flaming arrows and then throw boulders that are engulfed with fire at their enemies! Most of this movie is just dialogue and fighting. It's still good because the acting is nice and it's a beautiful film to just look at. ***
