Ok, given all that, has any studio movie in the last 40 years or so lost money? I mean real losses rather than accounting tricks. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (8/16/2002): production budget $100 million of which $20 million was Eddie Murphy's salary Domestic: $4,420,080 + Foreign: $2,683,893 = Worldwide: $7,103,973 The studio only collects about half the money from box office sales. I doubt they ever came close to making back Eddie Murphy's salary. The best word any critic used was "diverting". Town & Country (April 27, 2001) came out the year before and cost $90 million to produce Domestic: $6,719,973 + Foreign: $3,652,318 = Worldwide: $10,372,291 I think the studios have become a little more careful about such high budget catastrophes and simply manage to divert such films straight to DVD. Probably the worst picture economically this year was: Jack the Giant Slayer: Production Budget: $195 million Domestic: $65,187,603 + Foreign: $132,500,000 = Worldwide: $197,687,603 |
