Favreau: Christmas favourite Elf still hasn’t turned a profit

Jon Favreau still hasn't made any money from Elf.

The 48-year-old actor-and-director made the festive comedy - which stars Will Ferrell - in 2003 and despite the fact it is regularly repeated on TV around the world over the Christmas period, he insists it hasn't been as profitable venture as much of his other work, including the 'Iron Man' movies.
