Most of the names of people have also been altered to some extent: for instance, Harvey's mother is Pauline not Sophie, as it is in the movie (Sophie is Domino's half sister, by the by). She says in an interview, again on the DVD, that she took the bounty hunter job because she had no where to live and her mother said she had to have a job if she was going to move into the guest house in Beverly Hills. Domino never went to Beverly Hills high school, she was in her early 20's when she moved to LA to live with her mom, after spending her teen years in England, and living in other parts of California for a few years. The seminar is how Domino joined Ed, but it wasn't a scam the way it is in the movie. In fact, Choco explains the actual sequence of things. Interviews with them are part of the "extras" on the DVD, if anyone is really interested. There is a Choco and an Ed, and both men are still very much alive. The reality TV show, the DMV part, Claremont and his ladies, the little girl, all made up by Kelly. The entire plot of the movie is fictional. I think most of the gun shootout, hotel explosion, helecopter crash in los vegas was fake. This section could really help this article and the article. The overseas cume was $12,775,300 across numerous distributors.Can someone provide details on what may be "real" in this movie versus what is completely made up? Obviously there was a woman name Domino Harvey that may have been a spoiled kid and grew up to be a drug-user and bounty hunter, but what else is real? Any actual ties to the mafia? Was there a real Choco/Alf/Rourke character? Was the saving the kid thing completely made-up or did she somehow help someone? I have a feeling that what is actually true is hard to pick out, but I am curious if anyone has any details. Entertainment saw the highest overseas numbers in the UK with just $2,220,079. Metropolitan saw Domino flop in France with only $1,127,327. New Line would see returned about $5.6 million after theaters take their percentage of the gross, which would barely put a dent in their P&A costs and cover none of their acquisition expense. It sank 51.3% in its second frame to $2,275,531 and promptly lost most of its theater count and was pulled from release after only four weeks with a total of $10,169,202. Audiences did not like the pic any more than critics and gave Domino a poor C+ cinemascore. It placed #7 over the slow weekend, led by The Fog. And this narrative was almost entirely fabricated and was savaged by critics.ĭomino was booked in 2,223 theaters against The Fog remake and Elizabethtown and was dead on arrival with $4,670,120. The story of spoiled Hollywood royalty who self destructed from drugs and had spent time as a bounty hunter mostly going after low level drug addicts - was a movie that had no marketable audience. The death of Domino Harvey was barely media fodder for a few days and basically forgotten. Focus then dated the Keira Knightley starrer Pride and Prejudice for November 11 and Domino was moved forward to October 14.ĭomino was tracking soft and was not expected to reach low teen numbers opening weekend. One day later New Line moved it back to November 23. New Line originally scheduled the movie for an Augrelease, but pushed it back to November 4 and then Domino Harvey overdosed and died on June 27. Keira Knightley landed a $2M payday for Domino. Summit Entertainment and Davis Films sold the film to overseas distributors, except for in France, where Metropolitan would distribute. The budget for Domino was $50 million and New Line acquired US rights for $15 million. Scott had a first look arrangement at FOX, but the studio declined to be involved with the movie and the project was put aside while he helmed Enemy of the State (1998), Spy Game (2001) and Man On Fire (2004).Įventually Scott found financing from France based Metropolitan Filmexport. Elisabeth Shue was first announced as the lead. Cast: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramírez, Delroy Lindoĭomino Harvey sold her life story to Tony Scott in 1995 for $360,000 and he planned on making Domino as his follow up feature to the flop The Fan (1996).
