Suhrstedt saw it later in [[Burbank, California|Burbank]], and the theater was almost full. He assured Judge that [[word of mouth]] would slowly increase the audience. However, in early March, Fox pulled it from three-quarters of the screens it had been on after it barely made a million dollars that weekend. The movie's grosses continued to decline precipitously, and after the end of March, when it pulled in less than $40,000 from 75 screens, it was pulled from release altogether.<ref name="mojo">{{cite news|title=Office Space|work=Box Office Mojo|url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=officespace.htm|access-date=February 5, 2019}}</ref> According to Judge, a studio executive blamed the movie exclusively for the failure, telling him "Nobody wants to see your little movie about ordinary people and their boring little lives."<ref name=Extract>{{cite web| url = http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES.php| title = Extract-Behind the Scenes| work = wildaboutmovies.com| author = Nasson, Tim| date = August 13, 2009| access-date = February 7, 2019| archive-date = June 30, 2017| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170630070806/http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES/| url-status = dead| df = mdy-all}}</ref>
