That much sheer calculation might work for "Armageddon" (if the gross is your only measure a film's worth, it certainly did work), but this is a Christmas movie, folks!
The Paramount film, which opens April 26 and is directed by Michael Bay of "Transformers" and "Armageddon" fame, is adapted from a series of Miami New Times articles about a group of 1990s bodybuilders who hatched a brutal get-rich-quick kidnapping scheme that eventually escalated to murder.
