Every UK cinema dropped the film after one week.
Jennifer Lopez was paid $12 million for her role, and Ben Affleck was paid $12.5 million for his. Their combined salaries are more than three times the film's worldwide gross of $7,266,209.
Kevin Smith likes to tell stories about how, whenever he and Ben Affleck are playfully ribbing one another, all Smith has to say to end the conversation is Gigli.
Only 73 U.S. theaters were showing the film by its third weekend of release, down from 2,215 during its first weekend, a drop of 97%. It's the largest drop ever in terms of percentage, and at the time it was the largest drop in terms of numbers of theaters shed. Meet Dave (2008) has since surpassed it.
