I see that Sylvester Stallone was paid $20 million for the film, but it only shows a meager boxoffice as a foreign film making less than $1 million. Does anyone know the story with this movie? You usually don't pay an actor $20 million to show the film at art houses.

Well, Stallone also made 20 Million for Eye See You, a.k.a D-Tox, ever heard of that movie? It was made for 55 Million and had a very limited theatrical release, it was basically a straight to DVD movie.
You have to understand that the film industry is very screwed up nowadays, in fact many films are made to make tax write-offs and some multi millionaires use film making as a way to run around the IRS, most of these big budget films that don't see much light are usually made outside of any known studios, they're usually private projects.
It's not a lie if you believe it.
