'''''Cutthroat Island''''' is a 1995 pirate movie starring Geena Davis and directed by her then-husband Renny Harlin. The film has gone down in history as one of the biggest box office flops of all time; in the same league as the likes of ''[[TheAdventuresOfPlutoNash The Adventures of Pluto Nash]]'', ''{{Caligula}}'', ''[[Film/{{Cleopatra}} Cleopatra]]'', ''Film/HeavensGate'', and ''{{Ishtar}}''. It wasn't that the film failed to sell tickets. It earned 10-11 million dollars in the United States market alone, the 108th most successful film of its year. But when your budget is closer to 115 million, do the math. The film's failure effectively led to the closure of CarolcoPictures. The film is thus regarded as one of the last whose failure actually destroyed the studio that produced it. The film also killed the bankability of the pirate genre, which wasn't revived until ''[[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' took off. Although it dented their careers at the time, Davis and Harlin both seem to have gotten on more or less okay in the long run.
