9	* ''Film/DamnationAlley'' (1977) — Budget, $8 million. Box office, $4 million (rentals). This film adaptation of the Creator/RogerZelazny novel was expected to be Fox's big summer movie but it was delayed to the fall due to extensive post-production. By that point, Fox's [[Film/ANewHope actual big summer movie]] made its mark and ''Damnation Alley'' was left in the dust. Its mixed reviews and [[DisownedAdaptation dismissal by]] Zelazny himself for straying from the novel didn't help either.
10	* ''Literature/TheDamnedUnited'' (2009) - Budget, $6.4 million. Box office, $4.1 million. This adaptation of a novel based on Brian Clough's infamous tenure as manager of Leeds United stalled at #5 in the UK box office, despite [[AcclaimedFlop critical acclaim]]. It has since become a CultClassic amongst association football fans. Director Creator/TomHooper had better luck the following year with ''Film/TheKingsSpeech''.
11	* ''Film/DanceFlick'' (2009) — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $25,662,155 (domestic), $31,439,140 (worldwide). This Wayans Family vehicle is the last directing credit to date for Damien Dante Wayans.
12	* ''Film/DangerousGame'' (1993) — Budget, $10 million. Box office, '''$23,671''' (domestic). It's understandable, considering that it played for ''one week in one theater''.
13	* ''Film/DangerousGround'' (1997) — Budget, $28 million. Box office, $5,406,722. This action thriller sent Darrell Roodt's directing career in remission for six years.
14	* ''Film/DantesPeak'' (1997) — Budget, $116 million. Box office, $67,127,760 (domestic), $178,127,760 (worldwide). Buried the screenwriting career of Leslie Bohem for seven years, by which point the Michael Eisner/John Lee Hancock killer ''Film/{{The Alamo\|2004}}'' buried it for ''another seven years''. ''Dante'' also knocked ''Terminator'' vet Creator/LindaHamilton out of the A-list.
15	* ''Film/DarkBlue'' (2002) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $12,150,301. This debuted at the Noir in Festival in 2002 before its general release in February 2003. This and ''Hollywood Homicide'' would send director Ron Shelton's career into remission for over a decade.
16	* ''Film/DarkCity'' (1998) — Budget, $27 million. Box office, $14,378,331 (domestic), $27,200,316 (worldwide). Although Creator/RogerEbert called Alex Proyas' sci-fi thriller the best of the year, most critics gave it average reviews largely due to its ExecutiveMeddling mandated cuts. It quickly became a CultClassic and its subsequent director's cut allowed it to become VindicatedByHistory.
17	* ''Literature/TheDarkHalf'' (1993) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10.6 million. This Creator/GeorgeARomero adaptation of the Creator/StephenKing book was finished in 1991 but was held back by Creator/OrionPictures' bankruptcy.
18	* ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' (2019) — Budget, $200 million (production costs), $343 million (total costs including marketing). Box office, $65,845,974 (domestic), $252,442,974 (worldwide). According to Deadline, [[https://deadline.com/2020/04/box-office-bombs-2019-list-1202918753/ this was the biggest bomb of 2019]], losing about $133 million. Expensive reshoots, bad buzz, a looming ContinuityReboot due to the Disney-Fox deal, and tepid reviews all combined to produce a franchise low from the opening weekend onward. Not only does it seem to be the [[FranchiseKiller last film to be made]] in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' (outside of the horror-centric spin-off ''Film/TheNewMutants'', which finished filming before ''Dark Phoenix'' but ended up [[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment being delayed for over 2 years]]), but it squashed any last hopes of independence for Fox under their new parent company Creator/{{Disney}}, with them citing Fox’s low earnings (and the failure of ''Dark Phoenix'' in particular) as a factor in them falling short of their Q3 earning projections despite the record-shattering success of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', and deciding to take a more direct role in greenlighting their films, canning many of their projects in pre-production. This also turned out to be the latest in a string of box office failures and disappointments for Creator/MichaelFassbender; this was his sole film role between 2017 and 2023, as he mostly turned his focus to endurance racing with the UsefulNotes/TwentyFourHoursOfLeMans.
19	* ''Film/{{Dark Tide\|2012}}'' (2012) — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $432,274. The movie received an extremely limited release before getting dumped to video. The last film that production company Magnet Media Group[[note]]not to be confused with Magnet Releasing, Magnolia Pictures' genre film division[[/note]] has worked on to date.
20	* ''Film/TheDarkestMinds'' (2018) — Budget, $34 million. Box office, $12,695,691 (domestic), $41,142,379 (worldwide). This adaptation of Creator/AlexandraBracken's young-adult novel series of the same name was the live-action debut of Creator/DreamWorksAnimation veteran Jennifer Yuh Nelson (of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3 3]]'' fame). Critics dismissed it as a ClicheStorm but the few audience members who saw it were more forgiving.
21	* ''Film/DarlingLili'' (1970) — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $3.25 million. One of a series of flops that sent Paramount Pictures into financial trouble in the early '70s. Director/Writer Creator/BlakeEdwards was faced with continual ExecutiveMeddling from the studio, who re-edited the film without his input and badly mismanaged the marketing. It didn't help that it came out when movie musicals were on the decline. Edwards and his star/wife Creator/JulieAndrews rebounded years later with ''Film/TheReturnOfThePinkPanther'' and ''Film/VictorVictoria'', respectively. Edwards' co-writer William Peter Blatty had the quickest turnaround when he wrote ''Literature/TheExorcist'' and its [[Film/TheExorcist subsequent film adaptation]]. The film was not released on video until 2006, but only in a half-hour shorter Director's Cut.
22	* ''Film/{{Date with an Angel}}'' (1987) — Budget, $8 million. Box office, $1,988,962. This film sent Tom [=McLoughlin=]'s cinematic writing and directing career to Hell. He didn't get another story credit on another theatrical film for a full decade, and never directed another theatrical film for the rest of the 20th century, sticking with mainly TV movies.
23	* BoxOfficeBomb/{{DC Comics\|Films}}-[=based=] film have their own page.
24	* ''Film/{{The Dead\|1987}}'' (1987) — Budget, $3.5 million. Box office, $4,370,078. Creator/JohnHuston's final film was this adaptation of a Creator/JamesJoyce short story from ''Literature/{{Dubliners}}''. This got [[AcclaimedFlop glowing reviews]] but never left a limited release. This is the second and last screenplay by Huston's son Tony, who's currently a lawyer.
25	* ''Film/DeadBang'' (1989) — Budget, $14.5 million. Box office, $8,125,592. One of the last films produced by Lorimar Productions, which released [[Film/TheWitches1990 its last theatrical film]] the following year, though the company's acquisition by Creator/WarnerBros that same year had more to do with it than anything.
26	* ''Film/DeadHeat'' (1988) - Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,588,626. A bizarre premise, poor reviews, and unenthusiastic marketing all contributed to this [[GenreBusting buddy cop action comedy zombie crime film]] failing to break even despite its meager budget. Stars Creator/JoePiscopo and Creator/TreatWilliams made no secret of how much they hated being in this film, and it was [[StarDerailingRole the last nail in the coffin]] for Piscopo's efforts as a leading man in Hollywood. It's managed to become a bit of a CultClassic.
27	* ''Film/DeadRingers'' (1988) — Budget, $13 million. Box office, $8,038,508. Put a dent in Creator/DavidCronenberg's producing career; he didn't take a producer credit again for 8 years. Also a bad start to co-writer Norman Snider's career. (That said, it's a serious contender for the title of Cronenberg's magnum opus.)
28	* ''Film/DeadSilence'' (2007) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $16,809,076 (domestic), $22,217,407 (worldwide). Co-writer Leigh Whannell [[CreatorBacklash regrets making the movie]] due to apparent ExecutiveMeddling when it came to writing the script. Any plans for a sequel/franchise were shot down. It was also the first of two films directed by Creator/JamesWan to flop in the same year, followed by ''Film/DeathSentence''.
29	* ''Film/DeadManDown'' (2013) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $18,074,539. This WWE-produced thriller was chased out of theaters after six weeks.
30	* ''Film/{{Deadfall}}'' (1993) — Budget, $3.4 million. Box office, $18,369. Its gross came from a whopping ''two theaters.'' Between this and the same year's ''Gunfight at Red Dog Corral'', it would be six years before Christopher Coppola (brother of star Creator/NicolasCage) would direct another film.
31	* ''Film/DeadlyFriend'' (1986) — Budget, $11 million. Box office, $8,988,731. This was shot as a bloodless thriller but ExecutiveMeddling turned it BloodierAndGorier after a poor test screening. This resulted in a disjointed mess that critics gave a thrashing. Director Creator/WesCraven stayed afloat but writer Bruce Joel Rubin waited four years before his next credit, ''Film/{{Ghost\|1990}}''.
32	* ''Film/{{Deal of the Century}}'' (1983) — Budget, $10 million. Box office, $10,369,481. Paul Brickman’s next writing credit came seven years after this one.
33	* ''Film/DearEvanHansen'' (2021) — Budget, $27-28 million. Box office, $15,002,646 (domestic), $17,246,176 (worldwide). While nowhere near as big a fiasco as [[Film/{{Cats}} Universal's previous attempt at adapting a hugely popular Tony-winning musical]], it was still negatively received by critics for its casting decisions and the liberties taken in adapting its controversial plotline and became hugely contentious even with the show's fanbase, quickly falling by the wayside in theaters.
34	* ''Film/DearGod'' (1996) — Budget, $22 million. Box office, $7,138,523. It debuted at number eight on its opening weekend and its universal panning from critics, including Series/SiskelAndEbert, helped send it further down. Director Creator/GarryMarshall waited three years before he made his next films, ''Film/TheOtherSister'' and ''Film/RunawayBride''.
35	* ''Film/DeathAndTheMaiden'' (1994) — Budget, $12 million. Box office, $3,103,716. Creator/RomanPolanski's film version of Ariel Doffman's play received [[AcclaimedFlop great reviews]] but a limited release which topped out at 572 theaters. Polanski waited five years to make his next film, ''Film/TheNinthGate''.
36	* ''Film/DeathOnTheNile2022'' - Budget, $90 million. Box office, $137.3 million. A still recovering COVID-impacted marketplace, and controversy around cast member (and frequent box office cyanide pill) Creator/ArmieHammer hurt this sequel to ''Film/MurderOnTheOrientExpress2017''. Still managed to get a sequel, ''Film/AHauntingInVenice'', with the studio betting on a different tone, lower budget, and recovered theatrical marketplace.
37	* ''Film/DeathRace'' (2008) — Budget, $45 million. Box office, $36,316,032 (domestic), $75,677,515 (worldwide). Its poor box office reception didn't stop two direct-to-DVD sequels from getting made.
38	* ''Film/DeathSentence'' (2007) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $16,974,459. The second of two films directed by Creator/JamesWan to flop in the same year, the first was ''Film/DeadSilence''.
39	* ''Film/DeathToSmoochy'' (2002) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $8,382,938. One of two films in the 2002/2003 schedule that killed Creator/DannyDevito's directing career after 1996's ''Film/{{Matilda}}'' wounded it; ''Duplex'' is the other movie. This also completely incinerated Adam Resnick's cinematic writing career completely (he's only done a few TV jobs since) and ended Creator/JonStewart's front-of-camera film career.
40	* ''Film/DeathWishVTheFaceOfDeath'' (1994) — Budget, $5 million. Box office, $1,702,394. This movie [[FranchiseKiller killed off]] the ''Film/DeathWish'' franchise after five installments. This was also Creator/CharlesBronson's last theatrical starring role; he only did three DirectToVideo movies before his retirement from acting in 1999, and his death four years later.
41	** ''Film/{{Death Wish\|2018}}'' (2018) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $34,017,028 (domestic), $48,578,407 (worldwide). This remake of the 1974 film was delayed from its planned Thanksgiving 2017 release after the Las Vegas shooting, only to land two weeks after the Parkland shooting. The film's poor timing bore the brunt of its scathing reception from critics, and it also killed Creator/BruceWillis's mainstream career for good, with him only appearing in low-budget DirectToVideo action films before retiring from acting altogether in 2022 due to his aphasia diagnosis.
42	* ''Film/Deception2008'' — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $17,741,298. This was heavily panned by critics and was promptly buried in the box office once ''Film/IronMan1'' opened the next week.
43	* ''Film/DeckTheHalls'' (2006) — Budget, $51 million. Box office, $47,231,070. The film suffered a TroubledProduction mainly due to its stars Creator/MatthewBroderick, Creator/DannyDevito, Creator/KristinChenoweth, and Kristin Davis suffering from some form of CreatorBreakdown. The end result was lambasted for its [[TooBleakStoppedCaring not-so jolly demeanor]] and crashed and burned at the box office.
44	* ''Film/DeconstructingHarry'' (1997) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $10,686,841. Another AcclaimedFlop from Creator/WoodyAllen.
45	* ''Film/TheDeepEndOfTheOcean'' (1999) — Budget, $38 million. Box office, $28,121,100. The film version of Jacquelyn Mitchard's novel received mixed reviews from critics. It was the last film directed by Ulu Grosbard before his death in 2012.
46	* ''Film/DeepRising'' (1998) — Budget, $45 million. Box office, $11,203,026. The semi-final film from Creator/CinergiPictures; Disney had already ended their deal with the production company, and ''Burn Hollywood Burn'' would finish burning down the label by the end of the year. Competing with ''Film/Titanic1997'' at the box office and coming off the heels of other CG creature features like ''Film/{{Anaconda}}'' and ''Film/TheRelic'' didn't help. It ended up acting as a "test run" movie for director Creator/StephenSommers, the visual effects crew, and even Creator/KevinJOConnor, who would all go on to much greater success the very next year with ''Film/TheMummy1999''. Indeed, [[RetroactiveRecognition much of the ensemble would become bigger and better things]] (save for lead Creator/TreatWilliams, whose star plummeted), and the film has since become a CultClassic.
47	* ''Film/DeepstarSix'' (1989) — Budget, $8 million. Box office, $8.1 million. Part of a string of underwater thrillers released in the same year, including ''Film/TheAbyss'' and ''Film/Leviathan1989''. Barely making its money back, Tristar was disappointed in the box office results. Talks of a sequel were halted, and this is so far the last theatrical film that Sean S. Cunningham has directed.
48	* ''Film/DeepwaterHorizon'' (2016) — Budget, $156 million (one estimate), $110-120 million (another estimate). Box office, $61,433,527 (domestic), $119,463,870 (worldwide). Despite great reviews from critics, the ''Deadline'' press website accused Lionsgate of dropping the ball on marketing this film, which was released past the 2016 Summer Bomb Buster and with a handful of other major fall films such as ''Film/MissPeregrinesHomeForPeculiarChildren'', ''[[Film/TheMagnificentSeven2016 The Magnificent Seven]]'', and ''Film/{{Sully}}''.
49	* ''[[Film/DefJamsHowToBeAPlayer Def Jam's How to Be a Player]]'' (1997) — Budget, $12 million. Box office, $14 million. One of only two theatrical films music video director Lionel C Martin has directed (and the other is a smaller production), it also put a major dent in Def Jam and co-founder Russell Simmons' move into filmmaking.
50	* ''Film/{{Defiance}}'' (2008) — Budget, $32 million. Box office, $28,644,813 (domestic), $51,155,219 (worldwide). In spite of big names (actors Creator/DanielCraig and Creator/LievSchreiber, plus director Creator/EdwardZwick), struggled to find a place against ''Film/GranTorino'', DumpMonths releases, or actual award contenders (the film's score ended up nominated for an Oscar... but ''Film/SlumdogMillionaire'' and ''Film/TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton'', which would dominate the ceremony, were on the rise).
51	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Delgo}}'' (2008) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, ''$915,840''. No, that's not a typo. [[MedalOfDishonor It had one of the worst openings ever for a film playing in over 2,000 theaters]], earning just $511,920 at 2,160 sites. It's also one of the most critically panned films of 2008 and only spent a single week in theaters before it vanished, and this is after director/writer Marc Adler spent a full decade getting the film through DevelopmentHell. In the end, it's the only credit for Adler and production companies Electric Eye and Fathom Studios.
52	* ''Film/{{Delirious}}'' (1991) — Budget, $18 million. Box office, $5,546,826. The final theatrical film directed by Creator/TomMankiewicz and his final film credit. He spent the rest of his life in television.
53	* ''[[Film/DeLovely De-Lovely]]'' (2004) - Budget, $15 million. Box office, $13.3 million (domestic), $18.3 million (worldwide). Irwin Winkler's biopic of Music/ColePorter was his penultimate film as director. It was panned by critics and it only went as wide as about 400 theaters.
54	* ''Film/{{Denial}}'' (2016) — Budget, $10 million. Box office, $4.2 million. Was an AcclaimedFlop, however, with an 81 on Rotten Tomatoes.
55	* ''Film/DesireMe'' (1947) — Budget, $4,149,000. Box office, $2,576,000. Recorded loss, $2,440,000. The film's TroubledProduction saw various directors come and go and none of them took credit for the finished film [[note]]Indeed, there was no director's credit, the first Hollywood film to lack one.[[/note]].
56	* ''Film/DesperateHours'' (1990) — Budget, $18 million. Box office, $2,742,912. A remake of the 1955 Creator/HumphreyBogart classic, this was Michael Cimino's third failed attempt to recover his fame from the fallout of ''Film/HeavensGate''.
57	* ''Film/DesperateMeasures'' (1998) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $13,806,137. This critically panned thriller was chased out of theaters after three weeks. This contributed to Creator/MichaelKeaton's career downturn for several years and part of a string of several flops for director Barbet Schroeder.
58	* ''Film/{{Destroyer\|2018}}'' (2018) — Budget, $9-12.4 million. Box office, $1.5 million (domestic), $5.6 million (worldwide). Despite decent reviews and a gritty performance by Creator/NicoleKidman this bleak film failed to gain an audience, opening in only three domestic theatres and topping out at only two hundred and thirty five. The overseas take was somewhat better but still not enough to rescue the film.
59	* ''Film/{{Detroit}}'' (2017) — Budget, $34 million. Box office, $21,096,357. The first film distributed (as opposed to co-produced) by Creator/AnnapurnaPictures, it was [[AcclaimedFlop praised by critics]] but came out at [[DumpMonths the tail-end]] of a mostly lackluster summer. Its serious subject matter was unlikely to receive a sizable audience in the States, and the audiences who might have been most likely to view a movie about the Detroit race riots were likely alienated by it when some critics questioned Creator/KathrynBigelow's perspective and treatment of them.
60	* ''Film/DetroitRockCity'' (1999) — Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4.2 million. While this rock comedy died at the box office after four weeks, it has since become a CultClassic.
61	* ''Film/DeucesWild'' (2002) — Budget, $10 million. Box office, $6,282,446. Its universal panning from critics and that it opened the same day as ''Film/SpiderMan1'' killed it financially. It was rubbed out of theaters after four weeks.
62	* ''Film/DevilInABlueDress'' (1995) — Budget, $27 million. Box office, $16,140,822. The first and only film appearance of Walter Mosley's detective character Easy Rawlins. It was an AcclaimedFlop, though.
63	* ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' (2004) — Budget, ¥1 billion ($9.4 million). Box office, ¥520 million (approx $5 million). The live-action version of Creator/GoNagai's classic manga received a rancid reception from critics and audiences, primarily for its poor acting from its inexperienced cast, [[SpecialEffectFailure lackluster visual effects]], and nonsensical story. This was the final film for director Hiroyuki Nasu, who died a few months later. His wife, Machiko Nasu, the film's screenwriter, saw her career slow down soon after.
64	* ''Film/TheDevilsDouble'' (2011) — Budget, $19.1 million. Box office, $1,361,512. A {{biopic}} of Yatif Yahia, the reluctant BodyDouble of Saddam Hussein's son Uday. The critics were mixed about it, though they lauded Dominic Cooper's [[ActingForTwo performance as Yatif and Uday]], while the film itself lingered in limited release. Director Lee Tamahori waited five years to make another film.
65	* ''Film/TheDevilsOwn'' (1997) — Budget, $90 million. Box office, $42,868,348 (domestic), $140,807,547 (worldwide). This served as the final film for director Creator/AlanJPakula, as he was killed in a car accident the next year after its release.
66	* ''Film/Devotion2022'' - Budget, $90 million. Box office, $21.7 million. The reviews for the film were decent, but the second [[Film/TopGunMaverick film starring Glen Powell as a flying ace released in 2022]] probably would have performed better had its release window not coincided with both ''Film/BlackPantherWakandaForever'' and ''Film/AvatarTheWayOfWater''.

70	* ''Film/{{Diabolique}}'' (1996) — Budget, $45 million. Box office, $17,100,266. The second of 3 career-zapping bombs for director Jeremiah Chechik, and the last film Marvin Worth produced before his death.
71	* ''Film/{{Diana}}'' (2013) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $335,359 (domestic), $21,766,271 (worldwide). In its native UK, this Princess Diana biopic received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and just barely broke even; as a result, distributor Entertainment One quietly dumped the film in a few theaters when it was brought over across the pond, before bringing it straight to DVD a mere three months later.
72	* ''Film/DiaryOfAWimpyKidTheLongHaul'' (2017) — Budget, $22 million. Box office, $20,541,739 (domestic), $33,561,079 (worldwide). The negative backlash over this adaptation [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks replacing all of the cast from the previous three films]] (spawning the [[MemeticMutation #NotMyRodrick meme]]), combined with the hiatus between the movies (even creator Jeff Kinney stated there wouldn't be more films starring said cast due to the child actors growing older; this resulted in ''Dog Days'' being severely rushed), critics panning it far more severely than the original trilogy and competition from ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', dealt quite the damage to this film's overall performance. The chances of another live action ''Wimpy Kid'' movie are [[FranchiseKiller slim to none at this point]]. After Fox was acquired by Disney, they announced an animated ContinuityReboot for streaming on Creator/DisneyPlus .
73	* ''Film/{{Dick}}'' (1999) — Budget, $13 million. Box office, $6.3 million. It got pretty good reviews, but this comedy about two girls who get involved in Watergate suffered from an UncertainAudience. It got [[VindicatedByCable Vindicated by Video]] and became a CultClassic.
74	* ''Film/DicksTheMusical'' (2023) - Budget, $8 million. Box Office, $1.5 million. This very raunchy musical from A24, based on the off-broadway musical Fucking Identical Twins, was ultimately too niche for mainstream audiences and went limp after expanding.
75	* ''Film/DidYouHearAboutTheMorgans'' (2009) — Budget, $58 million. Box office, $29,580,087 (domestic), $85,280,250 (worldwide). This unfortunately got released the same day as ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' and it was left stranded on Earth. The negative critical reception didn't help either. Director Marc Lawrence wouldn't have another film credit until 2014's ''The Rewrite.''
76	* ''Film/{{Diggstown}}'' (1992) — Budget, $17 million. Box office, $4,836,637. The start of a series of busts that ended the directorial career of Michael Ritchie.
77	* ''Film/TheDilemma'' (2011) — Budget, $70 million. Box office, $69,721,966. The trailers to this Creator/RonHoward comedy caused controversy due to Creator/VinceVaughn's character's gay joke, especially so since they were released during a rash of suicides by gay teens. While the offending line was excised in later trailers, it remained untouched in the finished film. Vaughn also caused problems by taking control from Howard and forced numerous rewrites. The end result [[StarDerailingRole derailed Vaughn's career]] when it opened to tepid reviews and some of the weakest results of his career. It also didn't help Creator/KevinJames' movie career.
78	* ''Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights'' (2004) — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $27.7 million. This movie got called out on its [[{{Sequelitis}} attempt]] to remake [[Film/DirtyDancing the original '80s film]]. Director Guy Ferland was sent down to the TV stage, and the producers and writers also saw their careers pushed into the background for several years. Finally, it was the penultimate film from Artisan Entertainment prior to being absorbed into Lionsgate (their previous film was Uwe Boll's ''House of the Dead'', and their next and last film was ''Film/ThePunisher2004'')
79	* ''Film/DirtyLove'' (2005) — Budget, $9 million. Box office, $36,099. This [[StarDerailingRole dirtied]] Creator/JennyMcCarthy's cinematic career. The [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]] said that giving Worst Picture among other "honors" to this was like how the Academy Awards also "spot a small, worthy title among better known but less deserving films".
80	* ''Film/ADirtyShame'' (2004) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $1,914,166. This [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex very dirty]] movie's ugly box office returns (not at all helped by a restrictive NC-17 rating) and mixed reviews was cited by Creator/JohnWaters as to why he has yet to sit in the director's chair again (until his SelfAdaptation ''Liarmouth'', expected in 2023).
81	* ''Film/DirtyWork'' (1998) — Budget, $13 million. Box office, $10,023,282. Creator/BobSaget didn't direct another film until 2006's ''Film/FarceOfThePenguins'', and killed Creator/NormMacDonald's film career before it could get off the ground. This is also known for being the last film of Creator/ChrisFarley. Fortunately, this movie was [[VindicatedByCable Vindicated by Video]], and it would later become a CultClassic.
82	* ''Film/TheDisappointmentsRoom'' (2016) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $5.6 million. The film lived up to its title and them some with critics. Relativity Media having to deal with Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection led to them switching release dates before dumping it at the very end of the 2016 Summer Bomb Buster. It experienced a ''97.4%'' drop in box office from weeks two to three (beating ''Gigli''[='=]s drop), which put actor Wentworth Miller's writing career in a prison cell and did serious damage to the careers of the producers (director D.J. Caruso at least bounced back the following year with ''Film/XxXReturnOfXanderCage'').
83	* ''Film/DisasterMovie2008'' — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $14,190,901 (domestic), $31,683,375 (worldwide). Considered to be the movie that started slowing the infamous Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg director duo.
84	* ''Film/DisorganizedCrime'' (1989) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7 million. Director/Writer Jim Kouf waited four years to write another film, ''Another Stakeout'', and another four to direct again.
85	* ''Film/DistantThunder'' (1988) — Budget, $8 million. Box office, $156,000. Despite being critically acclaimed, it ended up having the overall worst results of a major movie in 1988. Director Rick Rosenthal wouldn't direct another theatrical film for ten years, and this was the last theatrical movie written by Robert Stitzel.
86	* ''Film/DisturbingBehavior'' -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $17 million. It placed director David Nutter in [[CreatorKiller director jail.]] Though he has directed a lot of TV since, he hasn't directed another theatrical feature film.
87	* ''The Film/{{Divergent}} Series: Allegiant'' (2016) — Budget, $110 million. Box office, $66,184,051 (domestic), $179,240,773 (worldwide). This movie was easily the lowest grossing film in the franchise (compare the first and second movies' $54,607,747 and $52,263,680 opening weekends to ''Allegiant'''s $29,027,348) and came after a predecessor, ''Insurgent'', that itself had been a financial and critical disappointment. This decline most likely had to do with [[ExecutiveMeddling Lionsgate forcing the creators to churn out a film every year without fine-tuning the script]], the release of ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' the week after, and the dying genre/trend of young adult dystopian future novels where teens fight against evil adults; people started losing interest after Lionsgate's other such franchise,[[note]]though they only "inherited" ''Divergent'' after purchasing Summit Entertainment[[/note]] ''Film/TheHungerGames'', ended. Because of the weak box office performance, the planned fourth film, ''Ascendant'', had its budget slashed and was re-imagined as a ''TV Movie'', something almost unheard of for a big budget theatrical series; all of the big-name stars attached refused the paycut, and the series was cancelled outright without a conclusion.
88	* ''Film/DOADeadOrAlive'' (2006) — Budget, $21 million. Box office, $480,813 (domestic), $7,516,532 (worldwide). This movie only spent 3 weeks in the North American market before succumbing to the VideoGameMoviesSuck backlash mixed with InvisibleAdvertising. It killed the directing career of Corey Yuen and inflicted a near-fatal wound on the writing career of co-writer J.F. Lawton, the latter of whom has written just one other film after this.
89	* ''Film/DoctorDetroit'' (1983) — Budget $8 million. Box office, $10,375,893. Fortunately for star Creator/DanAykroyd, his big hit ''Film/TradingPlaces'' came out a month after this dire comedy about a literature professor masquerading as a pimp so he was unaffected. Director Michael Pressman was less fortunate, he was knocked back to television directing for thirteen years.
90	* ''Film/DoctorDolittle'' (1967) — Budget, $17 million. Box office, $6.2 million. An infamous TroubledProduction, part of a string of musical bombs for [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios Twentieth Century Fox]] that killed the live-action musical, the Fox careers of Darryl Zanuck and his son Richard (Richard bounced back as a producer; his father didn't), and put the studio in a financial black hole until ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'' in 1977 and the move to embrace VHS as an alternate viewing method, thanks in part due to negative reception from critics and competition from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book\|1967}}'' for family audiences. Creator/RexHarrison [[StarDerailingRole sunk his career]] with his [[ThePrimaDonna prima donna attitude on the set]]. Despite this, the film was still nominated for nine {{UsefulNotes/Academy Award}}s (in which it won two for Best Original Song and Best Visual Effects), and an [[AnimatedAdaptation animated series adaptation]] produced by Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises (of ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther'' fame) was produced in 1970. Another film version with Creator/EddieMurphy eventually surfaced in the 90's, which spawned a series of mostly DirectToDVD sequels.
91	** ''Film/{{Dolittle}}'' (2020) — Budget, $175 million. Box office, $77,047,065 (domestic), $223,343,452 (worldwide). The third Hollywood adaptation of the character, which starred Creator/RobertDowneyJr (who also produced) as the doctor in his first major role after sending off Tony Stark in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', suffered a TroubledProduction and ExecutiveMeddling from Universal and Downey that had Oscar-winning director Stephen Gaghan's more mature cut reshot into a sillier and more kid-friendly film that received scathing reviews, primarily for the added humor, and opened to a disappointing $28 million over MLK Day weekend against ''Film/BadBoysForLife'' and Universal's own ''Film/NineteenSeventeen'', and its international take was severely hampered by the quickly spreading UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. The film bombing wasn't great news for Universal, who had just suffered the failure of ''Film/{{Cats}}'' only a month earlier.
92	* ''Film/DoctorSleep'' (2019) — Budget, $47 million. Box office, $31,494,813 (domestic), $71,794,813 (worldwide). Despite good critical reception, Creator/{{Mike Flanagan}}'s adaption of Creator/StephenKing's sequel to ''Literature/TheShining'' fell well below studio projections, making only $14.1 million on opening weekend as opposed to the expected $25 million, lost the top spot to ''Film/{{Midway\|2019}}'', and had a ghastly 69% drop in its 3rd week. In the end, the film made less money in the States than what Creator/StanleyKubrick's version of ''Film/TheShining'' made unadjusted in '''1980'''. Box office analysts pinned the film's underperformance on the marketing focusing too much on imagery from its predecessor, which alienated younger audiences unfamiliar with the horror classic, and coming out after Halloween, when there's much less of a demand for horror movies. The second of three consecutive attempted franchise revivals to bomb within a week of each other, sandwiched between ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'' and ''Film/{{Charlies Angels\|2019}}''.
93	* ''Film/{{Doctor T and the Women}}'' (2000) — Budget, $23 million. Box office, $22,844,291. Part of a 2000/2001 slate that put production company Artisan Entertainment on life support; they would rebound the next year before being absorbed by Lionsgate.
94	* ''Film/DomesticDisturbance'' (2001) — Budget, $53 million. Box office, $54,249,294. Director Harold Becker has not directed since this movie, and it put a dent in producer Jonathan D. Krane's career that remained until he died in 2016. This didn't hurt Creator/SteveBuscemi, one of this film's stars, one bit, as he rebounded after he lent his voice to Randall Boggs in Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'', which came out the same day as ''Domestic Disturbance''.
95	* ''Film/DominionPrequelToTheExorcist'' (2005) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $251,495. Paul Schrader's ''Exorcist'' prequel was hit with InvisibleAdvertising and an extremely limited release, not helped by it opening opposite ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. However, it received slightly better reviews and an endorsement from William Peter Blatty.
96	* ''Film/{{Domino\|2005}}'' (2005) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $22,944,502. This dramatization of the life of bounty hunter Domino Harvey saw its release date shuffled around multiple times, including at least once when the real Harvey died that June. The end result got scathing reviews from critics and was greeted apathetically by audiences. Director Creator/TonyScott considered it one of his favorite films while Creator/KeiraKnightley had better luck that year with ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice2005''.
97	* ''Film/DonnieDarko'' (2001) — Budget, $6 million. Box office, $1,270,522. The movie flopped thanks to being released a month after 9/11. However, thanks to DVD, the movie gained a cult following, and it kickstarted the career of its director and writer, Richard Kelly.
98	* ''Film/DontBeAfraidOfTheDark'' (2011) — Budget, $25 million. Box office, $24,046,682 (domestic), $39,126,427 (worldwide). The film's release was delayed due to Disney's sale of Miramax.
99	* ''[[Film/DontTellHerItsMe Don't Tell Her It's Me]]'' (1990) — Budget, $6.7 million. Box office, $1,171,762. Part of a string of [[StarDerailingRole star-derailing roles]] for Creator/SteveGuttenberg and one of the many films that drove Creator/ShelleyLong back to television after leaving ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
100	* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout2005 Doogal]]'' (2006) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7,417,319 (domestic), $26,691,243 (worldwide). An American dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Magic Roundabout\|2005}}'', it was critically panned for its poor, pop-culture reference-filled writing, weak voice acting, and for lacking the charm of the original series. Worst of all, [[SameLanguageDub the movie was already dubbed in English]], making this version even more unnecessary. It was the last time anyone in America heard anything about ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout''.
101	* ''Film/{{Doom}}'' (2005) — Budget, $60 million. Box office, $55,987,321. An attempt to counter VideoGameMoviesSuck by even being R-rated to try to do justice to the bloody games, only to instead alienate the fanbase for being more of a generic action sci-fi, with the only positively received part being the scene that actually emulated the classic FirstPersonShooter (which in turn got the scorn of those unfamiliar; Creator/RogerEbert famously said it was like "some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play"). When this intended Grand Premiere installment got gunned down by critics and the box office, the [[StillbornFranchise planned sequels were cast into the fire]]; Universal would revisit the property in 2019 with the direct-to-video reboot ''Film/DoomAnnihilation''.
102	* ''Film/{{Doomsday}}'' (2008) — Budget, $33 million. Box office, $22,211,326. This received mixed reviews from critics, who generally accused the film of being a [[AfterTheEnd Post-Apocalyptic]] ClicheStorm.
103	* ''Film/DoubleDragon1994'' — Budget, $7.8 million. Box office, $2,341,309. Another case of VideoGameMoviesSuck, it also helped put Gramercy Pictures in a bad spot (this would [[WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank2016 not be the last video game-based movie to do serious damage to Gramercy]]). This came out before another beat'em up/fighting game-based film from Gramercy co-parent Universal, Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme's ''Film/StreetFighter'', which fared well at the box office, but not with critics. It proved to be a StarDerailingRole for leads Mark Dacascos and Robert Patrick (who mostly stuck to television, and the former plays the Chairman on Food Network's ''Series/IronChef''), and knocked off some of the health bars belonging to producers Jane Hamsher and Don Murphy, who did not produce another film for 4 years, director James Yukich, who didn't direct another film for 5 years and otherwise stuck to TV, screenwriters Michael Davis and Peter Gould (the latter eventually moved on to ''Series/BreakingBad''), and story men Paul Dini and Neal Shusterman (the former has only dealt with animated/comic book/video game material since, and the latter was written for TV and done novels since).
104	* ''Film/DoubleTeam'' (1997) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $11,438,337. This and ''Knock Off'' led to director Tsui Hark remaining in Chinese cinema, and it didn't help out Jean-Claude Van Damme or Dennis Rodman's careers too much, either (both of them earned Razzies for this film).
105	* ''Film/DownWithLove'' (2003) — Budget, $35 million. Box office, $20,305,251 (domestic), $39,468,111 (worldwide). It opened in wide release on the same day as ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'' and was promptly buried that summer. Critics gave it a mixed-to-positive reception but [[VindicatedByHistory time has been kinder to it]].
106	* ''Film/{{Downsizing}}'' (2017) — Budget, $68 million. Box office, $52,694,653. Creator/AlexanderPayne's sci-fi satire debuted to a packed holiday season and [[{{Pun}} came up short]]. Critics didn't greet this as warmly as his other films, citing [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot the wasted potential of the premise]] as their biggest concern.
107	* ''Film/{{Downtown\|1990}}'' (1990) — Budget, $10 million. Box office, $2,346,150. The movie was released during one of the fiercest seasons in movie history at the time, and suffered from barely any promotion. It almost ended director Richard Benjamin's career, though another movie he did later that year, ''Mermaids'', did well enough to keep him steady.
108	* ''Film/DrJekyllAndMsHyde'' (1995) — Budget, $8 million. Box office, $3,039,634. Robert Shapiro did not produce another movie for 4 years. Also one of the last leading roles for Creator/SeanYoung.
109	* ''Film/Dracula3D'' (2013) — Budget, $7.7 million. Box office, $643,758 (worldwide). Creator/DarioArgento's take on the infamous count was burned at the stake at its 2012 Cannes premier for its [[SpecialEffectsFailure cheap looking 3D effects]], [[{{Narm}} unintentional humor]] and clichéd take on the source material. It would take a year for the film to be picked up for distribution; it only saw a limited run in Europe and went direct-to-video elsewhere, racking up a paltry score of 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. The last in a string of underperforming and critically skewered films from Argento, who [[CreatorKiller didn’t direct another film for a decade]].
110	* ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'' (1995) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $10,772,144. Where ''Film/LifeStinks'' failed (since that was followed by ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'', which despite negative reception was a moderate box office success), ''Dracula: Dead and Loving it'' [[CreatorKiller succeeded]] in ending Creator/MelBrooks' movie career after a previous record of accomplishments. He later found success in Broadway, notably stage versions of ''Film/TheProducers'' and ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.
111	* ''Film/DraftDay'' (2014) - Budget, $25 million. Box office, $29 million (worldwide). Despite getting [[BackedByThePentagon the NFL's blessings]], this American football drama couldn't score a touchdown in a box office dominated by ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' and ''WesternAnimation/Rio2''. The fact that it was a sports movie about ''the executives'' rather than the athletes fans usually root for probably didn't help matters, though the increase in popularity of the NFL draft in subsequent years has helped make it something of a CultClassic that has made its money back on the home market. This would be the final film Creator/IvanReitman would direct before his death in 2022.
112	* ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' (2009) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $9,362,785 (domestic), $57,497,699 (worldwide). Hated by fans for being an InNameOnly adaptation, it killed any chance of a live action film based on the sequel series, ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. The ''Dragon Ball'' franchise rebounded with the release of ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'' and never looked back.
113	* ''Film/{{Dragonfly\|2002}}'' (2002) — Budget, $60 million. Box office, $52,323,400. Writer Creator/DavidSeltzer wrote one more film before sticking with television.
114	* ''Film/{{Dragonslayer}}'' (1981) — Budget, $18 million (estimated). Box office, $14,110,013. The last of two films in Walt Disney Productions' co-production deal with Paramount (following Creator/RobertAltman's ''Film/{{Popeye}}''); this film had more mature themes that weren't associated with Disney at the time. This film's creation and subsequent failure, along with several other films, would lead to the creation of Touchstone, which had released ''Film/{{Splash}}'' by the time Paramount executives Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg took Disney away from CEO Ron Miller. ''Dragonslayer'' is also the semi-final film from co-producer Hal Barwood before he jumped ship to Creator/LucasArts and started working on video games instead, and his final movie would come four years after ''Dragonslayer''.
115	* ''Film/DramaticSchool'' (1938) — Budget, $602,000. Box office, $433,000 (domestic), $664,000 (worldwide). Recorded loss, $206,000. This was the last film Creator/LuiseRainer made for MGM. She was brought in as a replacement for Creator/GreerGarson, who was supposed to make her MGM debut here. She made one more film, ''Hostages'', in 1943, before she stuck to mainly TV for the rest of her life.
116	* ''Film/DreamHouse'' (2011) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $38,502,340. Director Jim Sheridan and stars/spouses Creator/DanielCraig and Creator/RachelWeisz [[CreatorBacklash hated it so much]] they refused to promote it. The critics agreed with their disdain.
117	* ''Film/DreamLover'' (1993) — Budget, $15 million. Box office, $256,264.
118	* ''Film/{{Dreamcatcher}}'' (2003) — Budget, $68 million. Box office, $33,715,436 (domestic), $75,715,436 (worldwide). The film's disappointing take prompted Creator/LawrenceKasdan to spend nine years without taking any more film credits. It also forced superauthor Creator/WilliamGoldman (who wrote ''Marathon Man'' and ''Film/ThePrincessBride''), to withdraw from Hollywood until The New '10s. The source material (a Creator/StephenKing novel of the same name) may have been part of the problem: King himself has said it's [[CreatorBacklash one of the worst things he ever wrote]], mainly because he was high as a kite on oxycontin.
119	* ''Film/{{Dredd}}'' (2012) - Budget, $50,000,000. Box office, $41,037,742. This take on the ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' character got a considerably warmer reception from critics and fans than the [[Film/JudgeDredd prior attempt]], but InvisibleAdvertising and lingering audience distaste from the 1995 film led to this being an AcclaimedFlop. It became a CultClassic and did much better on home video sales, though apparently not enough to get a sequel greenlit.
120	* ''Film/DrillbitTaylor'' (2008) — Budget, $35 million. Box office, $32,862,104 (domestic), $49,690,625 (worldwide). This was Creator/JohnHughes' last screen work before his death in 2009; he was credited with the pseudonym [[Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo Edmond Dantès]].
121	* ''Film/DriveAngry'' (2011) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $41,042,583. One of several busts in The New '10s for Creator/NicolasCage. It also [[CreatorKiller derailed]] director Patrick Lussier's career, whose next credits [[note]]Other than editing ''Film/Apollo18'', which spent a year in TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment.[[/note]] were co-writing ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' and directing an episode of ''Series/ScreamTheTVSeries''.
122	* ''Film/{{Driven}}'' (2001) — Budget, $72 million. Box office, $54,744,738. This was Creator/SylvesterStallone's first film to open at number one since ''Film/CopLand'', but he [[CreatorBacklash came to regret ever doing it]]. It also did no favors for director Creator/RennyHarlin.
123	* ''Film/TheDriver'' (1978) — Budget, $4 million. Box office, $4.9 million (worldwide). Creator/WalterHill's second directing job after ''Hard Times''. Contemporary reviews from American critics sent it to the car crusher, deriding its minimalism as a pretentious attempt to imitate French neo-noir films and its car chases as excessive, while Creator/RogerEbert scolded Hill for making characters symbols rather than people. Hill's career survived thanks to ''Film/TheWarriors'', but Creator/IsabelleAdjani [[StarDerailingRole blamed it for sabotaging her American film career]], and it was the beginning of a downturn for Creator/RyanONeal. [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff International critics and audiences were much more positive]], and it would later be VindicatedByHistory and regarded as one of Hill's best films, influencing directors such as Creator/MichaelMann, Creator/QuentinTarantino, and Creator/NicolasWindingRefn.
124	* ''Film/DropZone'' (1994) — Budget, $45 million. Box office, $28,735,315. [[DuelingWorks Went up against]] ''Film/{{Terminal Velocity\|1994}}'', another skydiving-themed thriller. This one did marginally better critically and commercially though still well below expectations. Screenwriter John Bishop never wrote another original screenplay (he did do rewrites over the next few years). The other writer, Peter Barsocchini, didn't write another film for 14 years and eventually moved on to the ''High School Musical'' series. Part of a string of flops for director John Badham.
125	* ''Film/DTox'' (2002) — Budget, $55 million. Box office, about $12,000 (domestic, and there is no mistake), $6,337,141 (worldwide). This film [[StarDerailingRole derailed Sylvester Stallone's film career]], which was already damaged by the failures of ''Film/{{Get Carter\|2000}}'' and ''Film/{{Driven}}'' just a year ago. The film was shelved for a few years, Creator/RonHoward and Brian Grazer took their names off of the film (they were the executive producers), and the test screenings were so bad that Universal decided not to release it. The film was subsequently picked up by DEJ Productions, who gave the film an EXTREMELY limited release before sending it to video (said company was owned by Blockbuster Video).
126	* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' (1990) — Budget, $20,000,000. Box office, $18,100,000. The film's disappointment led to the cancellation of other [[WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon Disney Afternoon]] movies in development (except ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''). Both this and ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' later that year also ensured all Disney Renaissance films for the rest of the decade would be musicals; it would be a while before adventure animation came back to the forefront. ''[=DuckTales=]: The Movie'' is the sole made-for-cinemas film and one of only two cinematic films DC/Warner veteran Alan Burnett worked on; ''Batman: Mask of the Phantasm'' was originally meant to go DirectToVideo.
127	* ''Film/DudleyDoRight'' (1999) — Budget, $70 million. Box office, $9,974,410. Its failure along with that of the later released companion film ''Film/TheAdventuresOfRockyAndBullwinkle'' ultimately killed off plans for a ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' LiveActionAdaptation. That project was later rebooted instead as a CGI adaptation at Creator/DreamWorksAnimation, and ''that'' ended up underperforming as well (although unlike ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' and ''Dudley Do-Right'', it at least made back its budget). This and ''Film/BlastFromThePast'' also blasted director Hugh Wilson's career into the wall for 5 years, and cast member and Creator/MontyPython vet Creator/EricIdle has not appeared in another live-action film in an extended capacity after this and ''Burn Hollywood Burn''.
128	* ''Film/{{Duets}}'' (2000) — Budget, $16 million. Box office, $6,620,242. This was the final film directed by Bruce Paltrow and the only film where he worked with his daughter, [[Creator/GwynethPaltrow Gwyneth]].
129	* ''Film/{{Duma}}'' (2005) — Budget, $12 million. Box office, $994,790. This was a [[AcclaimedFlop critical darling]] but it never left a limited release of ''42 theaters''.
130	* ''Film/DumbMoney'' (2023) - Budget, $30 million. Box office, $13,925,356 (domestic), $20,036,382 (worldwide). [[AcclaimedFlop Despite garnering good reviews]], this movie about the 2021 [=GameStop=] short squeeze was severely kneecapped by the SAG-AFTRA strike, which prevented its high-profile cast from doing any publicity for the movie.
131	* ''Film/{{Dune\|1984}}'' (1984) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, $30,925,690 (domestic). This adaptation of Creator/FrankHerbert's [[Literature/{{Dune}} legendary novel]] was derided by critics for its incomprehensible plot and quickly died at the box office, [[StillbornFranchise taking plans to adapt the sequel novels with it]]. Although it is now a CultClassic and Frank Herbert [[ApprovalOfGod gave his approval]] of the final product, Creator/DavidLynch disowned it instantly thanks to an infamously TroubledProduction and lack of creative control, and Lynch resented the experience so much that he demanded [[AlanSmithee his name taken off the extended cut]]. It also put producer Raffaella De Laurentis in the B-list of producers before she made a comeback with ''Film/{{Backdraft}}''. It would be over three decades before Hollywood [[Film/Dune2021 would try]] [[Film/DunePartTwo once again]] to adapt the novel to better commercial results.
132	* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' — Budget, $45 million. Box office, $33,807,409. Director Courtney Solomon blamed this movie's failure on an outdated script and ExecutiveMeddling from [=D&D=]'s copyright holders forcing him into the director's chair. This film had sequels, but they were sent straight to the home entertainment field and do not directly continue this film's story. Solomon did return for the first sequel, but he did not direct that one (as a matter of fact, he didn't direct or get another screen credit until 2005, and he's only directed two movies since). It would take 23 years for the property to get another crack at the big screen.
133	* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves'' (2023) - Budget, $150 million. Box office, $208,177,026. Despite [[AcclaimedFlop general praise from both critics and general audiences]], the film faced stiff competition from ''Film/JohnWickChapter4'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', and the studio failed to recoup the production budget in the theatrical window.
134	* ''Film/DunstonChecksIn'' (1996) — Budget, $16 million. Box office, $9,871,066. Managed to send ideas of making movies with apes [[GenreKiller into the dumpster]] unless they are gorillas. It and ''Beautician and the Beast'' also left director Ken Kwapis's career lost in space until the mid-2000s (after a successful TV run with ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', ''Series/TheBernieMacShow'', and ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle''), and it dealt serious damage to the careers of all the actors in the movie who are not named Glenn Shadix and Faye Dunaway. That list includes Jason Alexander, Rupert Everett, and Paul Reubens, the last of whom was still recovering from the nudie theater fiasco.
135	* ''Film/{{Duplex}}'' (2003) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, $19,322,135. One of two films in the 2002/2003 schedule that killed Creator/DannyDevito's directing career after 1996's ''Film/{{Matilda}}'' wounded it; ''Death to Smoochy'' is the other movie.
136	* ''Film/{{Duplicity}}'' (2009) — Budget, $60 million. Box office, $40,572,825 (domestic), $78,146,652 (worldwide). This was Creator/JuliaRoberts's first starring role since ''Film/MonaLisaSmile'' and it was one of a series of busts that would cost Universal chairman Marc Smuger his job. The critics generally liked it, though, and Roberts got a Golden Globe nomination.
137	* ''Film/{{Dutch}}'' (1991) — Budget, $17 million. Box office, $4,603,929. The second and last theatrical film directed by Peter Faiman, who went back to TV after producing ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest''.
138	* ''[[Film/DylanDogDeadOfNight Dylan Dog: Dead of Night]]'' (2011) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $4,634,062. Producer Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, who is a Marvel alumni and the founder of Malibu Comics and Platinum Studios, has not had his name or Platinum's name attached to any film since thanks to this and ''Film/CowboysAndAliens''. The other producer, Gilbert Adler, also does not have his name attached to another cinematic release past this point, and director Kevin Munroe and co-writer Thomas Dean Donnelly had the lights go out for their cinematic careers for 5 years. It also didn't help [[Film/SupermanReturns former Superman]] Creator/BrandonRouth's career either.
