From what I've seen it did about $700k so far in it's tiny box office release. A lot of the reason why Middle Men didn't make much in theaters was that it wasn't presented to a large audience in the first place. It was released the same week as The Other Guys, which tons of people went to see, and Inception was still killing it in theater at that time. Middle Men isn't exactly a theater-worthy story, especially when in competition with two big names. Nobody wanted to see this shit in theaters. It grossed $700k while offered to an extremely small portion of the domestic market, in an unfavorable position to compete with a couple big name releases. Even if it sucks ass. I can't count the number of garbage movies I've paid to see just out of lack of options, or plain bad choice. Put that on shelves and people will rent it or buy it. It WILL makes back it's investment eventually. I wouldn't call it a success by any means, but it isn't a loss yet either...
