[[folder:#]]
* ''2 Bits'' (1995) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $26,282.
* ''Film/The6thDay'' (2000) -- Budget, $82 million. Box office, $34,604,280 (domestic), $96,085,477 (worldwide).
* ''WesternAnimation/EightCrazyNights'' (2002) -- Budget, $34 million. Box office, $23.8 million. This is the only animated film that Creator/AdamSandler and his production company Happy Madison have made, and its negative reception due to excess ToiletHumor was one of the multiple blows to 2D animation that killed the tradition until ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' in 2009. Sandler also would not get involved with another animated project until the ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'' movies in the New 10's, which were also distributed by Sony/Columbia. Sandler would eventually dip back into the animation pool when he announced a new project in 2016.
* ''[[Film/EightMillionWaysToDie 8 Million Ways to Die]]'' (1986) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $1,305,114. This was the final film that Creator/HalAshby directed, and he died two years after its release.
* ''Theatre/{{Nine}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $53,998,806.
* ''10 Years'' (2011, 2012) -- Budget, Unknown, however; Box Office, $203,373.
* ''Film/TwelveAngryMen'' (1957) -- Budget, $340,000. Box office, $1 million (rentals). This film was dwarfed by color films released then, but was acclaimed by critics and is one of the most important films ever made.
* ''12 Rounds'' (2009) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $18,184,083. The sequels to this movie went DirectToVideo when the original failed to perform.
* ''Film/ThirteenHoursTheSecretSoldiersOfBenghazi'' (2016) -- Budget, $50 million (production only). Box office, $52,853,219 (domestic), $68,489,240 (worldwide). Given the topic this film deals with (the 2012 terrorist attack on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi that killed the country's ambassador, Christopher Stevens, along with several service members), politics unsurprisingly played a part in some part of how it got received, despite the film never physically naming President Barack Obama OR then-Secretary of State and the Democrats' intended successor to Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, at all during its runtime (the film didn't have much of an impact on Clinton's campaign, but she got upset by insurgent UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump at the finish line anyway). Critics and audiences were much more forgiving, at least by Creator/MichaelBay standards; it still has a rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics. This is the first of two box office underperformers for director/producer Bay in 2016; it was followed by ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'' about six months later, which also came during a corporate feud at the maker of both movies, Paramount, that derailed boss Philippe Dauman's career with the firm. The failure of the films brought Bay back to the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'', directing ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight''.
* ''Film/TheThirteenthWarrior'' (1999) -- Budget, $85 million (not counting marketing costs), $160 million (counting them). Box office, $61,698,899. When adjusted for inflation, this is possibly the biggest flop of all time depending on how the numbers are calculated with an upper figure of $183 million lost. It was also critically panned and had to deal with the undertow of another film Disney/Buena Vista released a few weeks earlier, ''Film/TheSixthSense''. This is the last time Creator/MichaelCrichton took a producer job on a theatrical film in his life, it impaled the careers of screenwriters William Wisher and Warren Lewis, and despite the success of another John [=McTiernan=] directed film the same year, ''Film/{{The Thomas Crown Affair|1999}}'', [=McTiernan=] suffered a career setback that became fatal with a three strike combo of ''Film/{{Rollerball}}'' and ''Film/{{Basic}}'', and being in prison and declaring bankruptcy a few years later. The film also led to Omar Sharif briefly retiring from acting. Disney ironically also jettisoned studio chief Joe Roth (who replaced Jeffrey Katzenberg) at the end of the year this film was released and on the back of several other critical busts and Roth allegedly not getting along with CEO Michael Eisner.
* ''Film/SixteenBlocks'' (2006) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $36,895,141 (domestic), $65,664,721 (worldwide). This is the last film Creator/RichardDonner has directed to date.
* ''Film/TwentyEightDays'' (2000) -- Budget, $43 million. Box office, $37,170,488 (domestic), $62,198,945 (worldwide).
* ''Film/FortySevenRonin'' (2013) -- Budget, $175 million (not counting marketing and editing costs), $225 million (counting them). Box office, $38,362,475 (domestic), $150,962,475 (worldwide). As a result of rising costs during filming and editing, [[ExecutiveMeddling Universal pulled the director Carl Rinsch from the film and had their executives complete the movie]]. Adding insult to injury, the studio then wrote down the initial budget's costs... ''[[ScrewedByTheNetwork before the film got released in the U.S.]]'' Rinsch hasn't directed another full-length film since.
* ''50 to 1'' (2014) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1,064,454.
* ''54'' (1998) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $16.8 million. Mark Christopher wouldn't direct again for 7 years, and it's the only serious role that Mike Myers took.
* ''Film/EightyEightMinutes'' (2008) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $17,213,467 (domestic), $32,593,385 (worldwide).
* ''Film/NinetyMinutesInHeaven'' (2015) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $4.8 million.
* ''Film/FourteenNinetyTwoConquestOfParadise'' (1992) -- Budget, $47 million. Box office, $11,089,907. Was nearly a CreatorKiller for director Creator/RidleyScott, who didn't direct another movie for four years.
* ''Film/ThreeThousandMilesToGraceland'' (2001) -- Budget, $62 million. Box office, $18,720,175.

[[folder:A-B]]
* ''Film/TheATeam'' (2010) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $77,222,099 (domestic), $177,238,796 (worldwide). Sadly the final film released during producer Stephen J. Cannell's life (he received posthumous credits on ''21 and 22 Jump Street''). Another one of the producers, Iain Smith, didn't have a major film billing until ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', writer/actor Brian Bloom didn't deal with major league cinema again, and ''The A-Team'' series has yet to return to action outside of the video game ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'' (a game driven in part by nostalgia franchises of TheEighties, which may be a damning compliment for the A-Team).
* ''Film/{{Abandon}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $12,302,319.
* ''Film/{{Abduction}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $28,087,155 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $82,087,155 (worldwide).]] Killed Creator/TaylorLautner's leading man career before it even started, relegating him to Creator/AdamSandler movies, the role of Jacob in the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' film series, and loads of DirectToVideo movies. This was also a bad stain on director [[Film/BoyzNTheHood John Singleton's]] career, as he has never directed another film since.
* ''Film/AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter'' (2012) -- Budget, $69 million. Box office, $37,519,139 (domestic), $116,471,580 (worldwide). Released the same year as Disney[=/=][=DreamWorks=]/Touchstone's own ''Film/{{Lincoln}}'' film. One of several 2012 busts to have Tim Burton credited, and director Timur Bekmanbetov didn't direct again for another 4 years.
* ''Film/TheAbyss'' (1989) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $54,461,047 (domestic), $90 million plus 98 dollars (worldwide). This is the one film directed by Creator/JamesCameron to bomb in the domestic box office. The film's production and Cameron's severe EnforcedMethodActing with Creator/EdHarris, which led to a [[FatalMethodActing near-drowning experience]] for Harris, prompted the actor to punch Cameron in the face after that shot was completed. Both Harris and co-lead Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (who appeared in other films and was a recurring actress on ''Series/{{Grimm}}'') had breakdowns during production and serious CreatorBacklash towards the film; both have vehemently refused to work with Cameron again, along with them refusing to talk about ''The Abyss'' in any way, which wasn't helped by ExecutiveMeddling in editing. Cameron himself regretted how it turned out and declared it the worst production he's been involved with (in spite of all of this, ''The Abyss'' IS an AcclaimedFlop). Cameron would rebound with ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'' two years later.
* ''Film/AccidentalLove'' (2015) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $4,500. This film's director, David O. Russell, asked to be credited as "Stephen Greene", an alternative to the retired AlanSmithee alias. The film's production difficulties and critical panning killed it in the limited run arena.
* ''Film/AcrossTheUniverse'' (2007) -- Budget, $70.8 million. Box office, $29.4 million. Got mixed reviews for being a JukeboxMusical based on Music/TheBeatles. Broadway director Julie Taymor's only film credits past this movie are based off of [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]] plays, and she does not have a writing credit after this except for something Shakespeare had already written centuries ago. It and [=DreamWorks=] Animation/Aardman's ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' also dealt serious damage to the careers of writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen'' (1988) -- Budget, $46.63 million. Box office, $8,083,123. This film's implosion, along with the severe financial failure of ''Ishtar'' and to a lesser extent other movies such as ''Leonard Part 6'', led to Columbia merging with Tristar and Coca-Cola selling their whole film business to Sony. The film also did not get production company Allied Filmmakers off to the start they would have hoped for, with most of the label's films being a critical flop, a commercial flop, or a flop of both kinds. That said, this is one of the films that is an AcclaimedFlop, having a 92% on Website/RottenTomatoes.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfBuckarooBanzaiAcrossThe8thDimension'' (1984) -- Budget $17 million. Box office, $6.3 million. Despite a stellar cast, this oddball film failed in theaters. It would later become a CultClassic on home video however.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfElmoInGrouchland'' (1999) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $11,683,047. Both this and ''Film/MuppetsFromSpace'' caused The Jim Henson Company's film division Jim Henson Pictures to not only be dropped by Creator/ColumbiaPictures but [[CreatorKiller reduced to an in-credit name]]. A third ''LiveActionTV/SesameStreet'' film is currently in development though.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfFordFairlane'' (1990) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $21.4 million. Star Andrew "Dice" Clay claimed it was pulled from theaters early due to pressures from the "politically correct". The triple-Razzie winning and critically panned film [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff became popular in Hungary, Spain, and Norway, however.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfMarkTwain'' (1985) -- Budget, $1.5 million. Box office, $849,915.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' (1996) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $15,094,530.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPlutoNash'' (2002) -- Budget, $100–120 million. Box office, $7,103,973. It sat on the shelf for ages because everyone knew it was a catastrophe. Creator/EddieMurphy himself [[OldShame disowned it]], and it was one of three flops in 2002 that severely impacted his career.
* ''[[Film/RockyAndBullwinkle The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' (2000) -- Budget, $76 million (not counting marketing costs), $98.6 million (counting them). Box office, $35,134,820. This take on the Jay Ward/[=DreamWorks=] Classics franchise has the dishonor of being the biggest animation/live-action hybrid bomb in history. Its failure along with that of ''Film/DudleyDoRight'' 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 movie also [[CreatorKiller flattened]] the [[StarDerailingRole cinematic careers]] of director Des [=McAnuff=] and Boris and Natasha players Jason Alexander and Rene Russo (the former of whom had a lot of trouble trying to get on the big screen and regards ''Rocky and Bullwinkle'' as an OldShame); Russo appeared in several more failures before retiring from acting in 2005, and it would take the first ''Film/{{Thor}}'' movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to get her back into movie-making. The Rocky and Bullwinkle duo's helper in the film, Piper Perabo, also got a B-list demotion, but she has continued acting.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfSharkboyAndLavagirl'' (2005) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $39,177,541 (domestic), $69,425,966 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfTheAmericanRabbit'' (1986) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1,268,443.
* ''Film/AeonFlux'' (2005) -- Budget, $62 million. Box office, $52,304,001.
* ''Film/TheAffairOfTheNecklace'' (2001) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $471,210.
* ''After Dark, My Sweet'' (1990) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $2,678,414. An AcclaimedFlop.
* ''Film/AfterEarth'' (2013) -- Budget, $130 million. Box office, $60,522,097 (domestic), $243,843,127 (worldwide). Another nail in Creator/MNightShyamalan's coffin, and a nasty setback to the careers of Will and Jaden Smith. Shyamalan broke out of that coffin with his next two films, but both have only 7 figure budgets.
* ''Film/AfterTheSunset'' (2004) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $28,331,233 (domestic), $61,347,797 (worldwide).
* ''Film/AgainstTheRopes'' (2004) -- Budget, $39 million. Box office, $6,614,280.
* ''Film/AgentCodyBanks 2: Destination London'' (2004) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $23,630,159 (domestic), $28,818,995 (worldwide). Killed off the ''Agent Cody Banks'' movies with ''Malcolm in the Middle'' star Frankie Muniz after just two assignments, and Muniz didn't have an A-grade cinematic career afterwards, especially when ''Malcolm in the Middle'' ended in 2006. After this and ''Seed of Chucky'', the LoveInterest in the movie, Hannah Spearritt, did not appear on the silver screen again until 2012, and ''Cody Banks'' discharged director Kevin Allen from the cinemas until 2013; co-writer Harald Zwart didn't have an English film credit again until 2009.
* ''Film/{{Agora}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $39,041,505. Spanish-Chilean director/writer Alejandro Amenabar didn't make another film for 6 years.
* ''Film/AintThemBodiesSaints'' (2013) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $1,031,243. Still is an AcclaimedFlop and put director David Lowery on the map, getting him hired by Disney for their ''Film/{{Petes Dragon|2016}}'' reimagining.
* ''Film/TheAlamo'' (2004) -- Budget, $145 million. Box office, $25,819,961. One of a handful of flops in 2004 that ultimately helped end Disney CEO Michael Eisner's long run at the company. While liked by several [[EverythingIsBigInTexas Texas]] critics and ''Ebert & Roeper'', this movie also derailed director/writer John Lee Hancock's career; he wasn't credited on anything again until the end of the decade with 2009's ''Film/TheBlindSide'', and didn't direct another Disney movie until ''Film/SavingMrBanks'' in 2013. This was the first writing/story job for Leslie Bohem in 7 years after 1997's ''Dante's Peak'', and he would have to wait another 7 for his next story job.
* ''Film/AnAlanSmitheeFilmBurnHollywoodBurn'' (1998) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office (get ready to faint), $52,850. Winning six UsefulNotes/{{Golden Raspberry Award}}s (one of which was for Worst Picture of 1998), it spelt the end of the use of the "AlanSmithee" pseudonym. It also [[CreatorKiller killed]] Arthur Hiller's direction career (he knew the movie was so bad, he asked the crew to be ''credited as Smithee''. It didn't help, and he [[FromBadToWorse got the alias]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero retired as well]]; he did one movie with [[Music/BonJovi Jon Bon Jovi]] after that, and that's it). This film was also the third and last blow to Joe Eszterhas, following ''Showgirls'' and ''Jade'' (the former of which also has a Worst Picture Razzie, and both films were ripped by Creator/GeneSiskel), and it's also part of a series of busts that convinced maker Disney to discontinue Hollywood Pictures, which was the brand they released this film under, as well as being the final nail in Cinergi Pictures' coffin after they started on the wrong foot with ''Medicine Man'' and ''Super Mario Bros.'' in the early 90's. Finally, it and ''Film/DudleyDoRight'' derailed the cinematic career of Alan Smithee actor Creator/EricIdle, who has not appeared in a live-action film in the 21st century apart from cameos.
* ''Film/AlbinoAlligator'' (1997) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $339,379.
* ''Film/AlexAndEmma'' (2003) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $15,368,897.
* ''Film/AlexCross'' (2012) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $34,588,412.
* ''Film/AlexRiderOperationStormbreaker'' (2006) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $23,937,870.
* ''Film/{{Alexander}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $155 million (not counting marketing costs), $201.2 million (counting them). Box office, $167,298,192. The film was not well-received in the U.S. and put a bit of a dent in Oliver Stone's career.
* ''Film/{{Alfie}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $35,150,546.
* ''Film/{{Ali}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $107 million. Box office, $87,713,825.
* ''Film/{{Alice}}'' (1990) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $7,331,647.
* ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' (1951) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $2.4 million (domestic). This ultimately didn't even dent Creator/{{Disney}}'s emerging animation empire, but convinced Walt to never reissue the film, instead airing it on TV (this also allowed it to come to [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo home video]] a few years before Disney, on Michael Eisner's orders, began releasing their animated library through the Walt Disney Classics line). ''Alice In Wonderland'' [[VindicatedByHistory came into vogue after Walt's death,]] and is now one of the mainstream Disney films.
* ''Film/AliceThroughTheLookingGlass'' (2016) -- Budget, $170 million (not counting marketing costs), $320 million (counting them). Box office, $77,041,381 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $222,415,643 (worldwide)]]. Compared with the previous Tim Burton ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'' film ($116,101,023 opening weekend for the former, compared to this film's $26,997,000 opening weekend) and the [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 other live-action adaptation of a Disney Animated Classic]] released two months prior, this movie received toxic reviews from critics and opened second at the box office behind ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' (which got better reviews, but not by much), pulling in far less in opening weekend (Burton returned for this, but he didn't direct it; ''Film/TheMuppets'' director James Bobin did). One of the early Summer Bomb Busters of 2016. Part of a string of flops for star Creator/JohnnyDepp, and this one came up in the wake of his divorce from Creator/AmberHeard, who got a restraining order against him after she accused him of being an alcoholic and abusive, with bruised images of her showing up on the internet to back it up. This is the second of two fairy tale {{Sequelitis}} implosions for producer Joe Roth within months, with ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar'' also sinking (ironically against Disney). This is also sadly the final film role for Creator/AlanRickman, who had died earlier in the year.
* ''Film/AlienResurrection'' (1997) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $47,795,658 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $161,376,068 (worldwide).]] This ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' film got some ExecutiveMeddling that earned disapproval from writer Creator/JossWhedon, and the mixed reception resulted in there being no new standalone films in the series until 2012's ''Film/{{Prometheus}}''; ''Film/AlienVsPredator'' was released during the hiatus. Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet did not do another film on American soil until 2013, and it did critical damage to the career of producer Gordon Carroll, who only did ''AVP'' before he died.
* ''Film/AliensInTheAttic'' (2009) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $25,200,412 (domestic), $57,881,056 (worldwide).
* ''Film/AllNightLong'' (1981) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $4,454,295 (domestic), $10 million (worldwide). This was the third and final theatrical movie made by Jean-Claude Tramont, and according to several biographies, his wife Sue Mengers lost her job as Creator/BarbraStreisand's agent when she had suggested her for the movie.
* ''Film/AllTheKingsMen'' (2006) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $9,450,897.
* ''AllThePrettyHorses'' (2000) -- Budget, $57 million. Box office, $18,133,495.
* ''Film/AllTheQueensMen'' (2001) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $23,662.
* ''Film/{{Allied}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $40,098,064 (domestic), $115,537,667 (worldwide).
* ''Film/AlmostAnAngel'' (1990) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $6,939,946.
* ''Film/AlmostFamous'' (2000) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $47,383,689.
* ''Film/{{Aloha}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $37 million. Box office, $26,250,020. An ugly blot on director/writer/producer Cameron Crowe's career, and part of an unsatisfactory year for distributor Sony.
* ''Film/AloneInTheDark2005'' -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $10,442,808. Credited with destroying the reputation of video game movies [[VideoGameMoviesSuck beyond their already bad reputation]] and turning director Uwe Boll into the signature punchline for bad movies in general (he would make a sequel to this, but he only produced that one and it was released DirectToVideo by Universal). ''Alone in the Dark'' is also the film that slapped Creator/ChristianSlater and Tara Reid into the B-list of celebrities, especially after Reid's botched plastic surgery/liposuction (though she was fortunate enough to get the ''Film/{{Sharknado}}'' TV movie series in due time). The ''Alone in the Dark'' video game franchise also never saw the heights it was at before this film was made.
* ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks: The Road Chip'' (2015) -- Budget, $90 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office, $85,643,880 (domestic), $232,287,225 (worldwide). While the previous three Chipmunks films did well at the box office (although they all had a poor critical reception), 20th Century Fox, originally planning a December 23rd release for the fourth installment of the series, decided to cash in on counter-programming [[ReleaseDateChange by bumping it up to a]] [[SuicidalOverconfidence downright suicidal]] Dec. 18th date, putting it in direct competition with the highly anticipated ''[[Film/TheForceAwakens Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens]]'' from former longtime partner Lucasfilm, who disassociated themselves from Fox after being bought by Disney. ''The Road Chip'' didn't stand a chance -- ''The Force Awakens'' proceeded to [[CurbStompBattle utterly demolish it]] at the box office, raking in a record-breaking $100 million on opening day ''alone'' and over $1 billion worldwide just barely after its first week, making it ''the highest-grossing film of the 2010s''. ''The Road Chip'' crashed and burned at a meager $14,287,159 on the same weekend, limping to $47,539,910 the same week, then $64,050,442 worldwide. On top of that, ''The Force Awakens'' was universally lauded by critics as a true-to-form comeback for the ''Star Wars'' franchise, while ''The Road Chip'' was utterly eviscerated by critics. In all likelihood, the film's resounding failure will [[FranchiseKiller bring the Chipmunks film series to an end]], being the second negative business-changing bust of the year for Fox after [[Film/FantasticFour2015 the attempted Fantastic Four reboot]].
* ''Film/TheAlphabetKiller'' (2008) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $106,596. Was released in only two theaters worldwide and due to poor reviews, proved to be a StarDerailingRole for star Creator/ElizaDushku's film career.
* ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon'' (1987) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $500,000.
* ''Film/{{Amelia}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $19,642,013.
* ''Film/AmericanAnthem'' (1986) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $4,845,724.
* ''Film/AnAmericanCarol'' (2008) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7,013,191. The bust of a movie that sharply parodied Michael Moore put David Zucker's career in Hell; he wasn't credited on another film until the fifth ''Scary Movie'', and has yet to return to the director's booth. It's also the final live-action role for Dennis Hopper; he never went before a movie camera again.
* ''American Outlaws'' (2001) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $13,342,790. Les Mayfield didn't direct again for another 4 years, and co-writer Roderick Taylor didn't write another screenplay for 6.
* ''Film/AmericanUltra'' (2015) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $15,470,118.
* ''Film/Amityville3D'' (1983) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $6,333,135. This installment in the ''Amityville'' movies was burned down by critics and crushed the cinematic 3D movie until the end of the 2000's, as well as being part of a chain of busts that ended the long main career of director Richard Fleischer. Future ''Amityville'' movies were sent Direct To Cable until the 2005 remake.
* ''And God Created Women'' (1988) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $1,717,376. It sent director Roger Vadim's theatrical career into "the fiery pit" (he's only done TV movies since) and got him chastised by Roger Ebert for remaking his original 50's classic and having little in common with it.
* ''And So It Goes'' (2014) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $25,312,387. The second of three busts for distributor Clarius Entertainment.
* ''Angel Eyes'' (2001) -- Budget, $53 million. Box office, $29,715,606.
* ''Film/AngelsAndDemons'' (2009) -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $133,375,846 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $485,930,816 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/AnimalFactory'' (2000) -- Budget, Unknown. The bad news is... Box office, $43,805. Despite strong reviews, this movie failed to even make it to $50,000 gross.
* ''Film/AnnaAndTheKing'' (1999) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $39,263,420 (domestic), $113,996,937 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Annie|1982}}'' (1982) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $57 million. This film was one of two theatrical victims of ''Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial'' (the other was ''Film/BladeRunner'') despite being the 10th highest grossing film of the year, and it, along with the financial failure of ''Film/PenniesFromHeaven'' and the general failure of ''Film/{{Heartbeeps}}'', forced noted diva Bernadette Peters off the silver screen until 1989. ''Annie'' was successfully VindicatedByVideo, however, and still was able to revive interest in the classic show.
* ''Film/{{Anonymous}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $15,395,087. This movie is the first [[Film/WhiteHouseDown in]] [[Film/{{Stonewall}} a]] [[Film/IndependenceDayResurgence line]] of box office disappointments for director Creator/RolandEmmerich.
* ''Another You'' (1991) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $2,865,916. This was the final StarDerailingRole for star Creator/GeneWilder. He did not appear in another theatrically released film.
* ''Another Woman'' (1988) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1,562,749.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAntBully'' (2006) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $28,142,535 (domestic), $55,181,129 (worldwide). Got decent reviews, but was also panned by ''The Arizona Republic'' for trying the "animated insect movie" after Pixar and Creator/DreamWorks had taken their own dips in the pool eight years earlier. Director John A. Davis's directing career was stomped flat by this film's failure.
* ''Film/{{Anthropoid}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $5 million.
* ''Anything Else'' (2003) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $13,585,075. There was no Hollywood ending for Creator/WoodyAllen when this bomb rolled into theaters; after it and ''Hollywood Ending'' the year prior, he would not do a movie where he took acting, producing AND directing credits again until 2012, though he remained in business during this time.
* ''Film/TheApparition'' (2012) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $9,627,492.
* ''Approaching the Unknown'' (2016) -- Budget, $1.3 million. Box office, $10,232.
* ''Film/AnArcticTale'' (2007) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1,858,064.
* ''Film/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays2004'' -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $72,178,895. One of a handful of flops in 2004 that ultimately helped end Disney CEO Michael Eisner's long run at the company, but it didn't slow down star Creator/JackieChan's career much. This was the last appearance by Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger in a movie prior to him taking office as Governor of California.
* ''Film/TheArtOfWar'' (2000) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $40,400,425. This film's failure didn't stop two sequels from being made, but it did send them Direct To DVD.
* ''Film/{{Arthur}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $33,035,397 (domestic), $45,735,397 (worldwide).
* ''WesternAnimation/ArthurChristmas'' (2011) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $46,462,469 (domestic), $147,419,472 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ArthurAndTheInvisibles'' (2006) -- Budget, $86 million. Box office, $15,132,763 (domestic), $107,944,236 (worldwide).
* ''Film/AspenExtreme'' (1993) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $8,041,048.
* ''Film/TheAssassinationOfJesseJamesByTheCowardRobertFord'' (2007) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $15,001,776. Director Andrew Dominik's cinematic career was chased off the big screen for 5 years.
* ''Film/{{Assassins}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $30,303,072 (domestic), $83,303,072 (worldwide).
* ''WesternAnimation/AstroBoy'' (2009) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $39,886,986. The losses of the film [[CreatorKiller sucked producer Imagi Studios into a black hole of debt.]]
* ''Film/TheAstronautsWife'' (1999) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $10,672,566 (domestic), $19,598,588 (worldwide). This movie becoming one of the biggest critical and commercial bombs of 1999 resulted in the career of Rand Ravich burning on reentry; he only had one more film after this, and then he plummeted to the C-list of Hollywood producers.
* ''At Close Range'' (1986) -- Budget, $6.5 million (estimated). Box office, $2,347,000. In spite of being an AcclaimedFlop.
* ''Film/AtFirstSight'' (1999) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $22,365,133.
* ''Film/AtLongLastLove'' (1975) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $1.5 million. The film received such bad reviews director Peter Bogdanovich published a full page apology letter in several newspapers. A studio editor recut the film on his own time four years later. 33 years after that, Bogdanovich saw this cut and [[ApprovalOfGod liked it so much]] he finally allowed it to be released on DVD to better reviews in 2013, 38 years after premiering in theaters.
* ''Film/AtPlayInTheFieldsOfTheLord'' (1991) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $1,345,903.
* ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' (2001) -- Budget, $120 million. Box office, $84,056,472 (domestic), $186,053,725 (worldwide). This Disney film was released in the wake of the premiere ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' movie, which took aim at Disney after they jettisoned DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg and then fell into acrimony and SnarkBait seas regarding Katzenberg's boss Michael Eisner's handling of the studio (which turned Eisner into an enemy for Katzenberg, Roy. E Disney AND Pixar and claimed his Disney career in the end). It ALSO earned the worst reviews for any film in the DisneyAnimatedCanon since ''The Black Cauldron'' (at least up to that point). ''Atlantis'' sunk the mainstream careers of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, and broke up the power duo when Trousdale jumped to ''Shrek'' producer DWA in two years. There would be a brief reprise for 2D animation with ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' the next year, but after that, 2D animation would begin fading out at both Disney and [=DreamWorks=].
* ''Film/AtlasShrugged Parts I'', ''II'', and ''III'' (2011/2012/2014) -- Budget, roughly $10 million/$10 million/$5 million. Box Office, roughly $4 million/$3 million/$800,000. Commentators found it impossible not to comment on the irony of the adaptation of a famous libertarian/"Objectivist" work being rejected by the movie free-market, and then its producers plowing forward with both a sequel and Part III -- using Website/{{Kickstarter}}, of all things, which just adds to the irony.
* ''Film/{{Australia}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $130 million. Box office, $49,554,002 (domestic), $211,342,221 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{The Avengers|1998}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $23,384,939. The last of three career-zapping bombs for director Jeremiah Chechik, and one of two [[StarDerailingRole Star-Derailing Roles]] for star Creator/UmaThurman, with her role as Poison Ivy in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' being the other. Chechik didn't direct another film until 2013, and Thurman fell into limbo before clawing her way back up with the ''Film/KillBill'' films in 2003. Both this and ''The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' 5 years later also convinced ex-Film/JamesBond Creator/SeanConnery (who played the BigBad in this film) to retire from acting. The British ''Avengers'' television franchise (which has nothing to do with Marvel) has since been banished to audio plays by Creator/BigFinish in the 2010's.
* ''Film/AvengingAngelo'' (2002) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, sadly, $824,597. This was Anthony Quinn's final film role, released a few months after his death, and another setback for star Sylvester Stallone.
* ''Film/TheAviator'' (2004) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $102,610,330 (domestic), $213,741,459 (worldwide). While this is regarded as [[AcclaimedFlop one of the greatest films of 2004]], controversy arose over producer Charles Evans Jr's involvement, which wasn't helped by him forcing himself into a producers' photo at the Producers Guild of America Awards. Evans hasn't really been involved with Hollywood since. This helped John Logan's career out somewhat after he "helped" crash ''Star Trek: Nemesis'', but it would still be a few years before he got back in the Hollywood swing of things.
* ''Film/AnAwfullyBigAdventure'' (1995) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $259,724.
* ''The Baader Meinhof Complex (Der Baader Meinhof Komplex)'' (2008) -- Budget, 13.5 million euros/$19.7 million. Box office, $16,498,827. Still was critically acclaimed and earned a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar nomination, but Uli Edel would wait a while to make another theatrical film.
* ''[[Literature/{{Babar}} Babar: The Movie]]'' (1989) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1,305,187. Creator/{{Nelvana}} had to rely on home video sales to recoup the loss.
* ''Film/BabePigInTheCity'' (1998) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $69,131,860. Director Creator/GeorgeMiller wouldn't return to live-action films of any sort until [[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad 2015]]. Its own box office failure would end the ''[[FranchiseKiller Babe]]'' franchise after two films.
* ''Film/BabylonAD'' (2008) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $72,108,608. This put a very severe restraint on the career of director Mathieu Kassovitz, who has not had a major presence in Hollywood cinema since and is not fond of the final version of this film.
* ''Film/BabysDayOut'' (1994) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $16,827,402. After this film's implosion and the mixed reception to director Patrick Read Johnson's next movie, ''Angus'', Johnson would not direct another cinematic movie until 2007. He did executive produce ''Film/{{Dragonheart}}'' in 1996, though.
* ''Bad Company'' (2002) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $65,977,295.
* ''Film/TheBadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'' (2009) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $10,589,102.
* ''Film/BadMoon'' (1996) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $1,060,024. Part of a string of box office underperformers for director Eric Red, and this one caused his cinematic career to black out until 2008.
* ''Film/TheBadNewsBears'' (2005) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $34,252,847.
* ''Film/BadSanta 2'' (2016) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $17.6 million (domestic), $23 million (worldwide). This film got hit hard by {{Sequelitis}} and was buried under higher-profile films such as ''Disney/{{Moana}}'' and ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' during the busy Thanksgiving weekend. The film's failure could be the ultimate lump of coal in director Mark Waters and co-producer Andrew Gunn's Christmas stockings as far as their Hollywood careers are concerned.
* ''Bailey's Billion$'' (2005) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $45,000.
* ''Bait'' (2000) -- Budget, $51 million. Box office, $15.4 million. It [[StarDerailingRole nearly ended Jamie Foxx's leading career]], as he wouldn't lead again in a theatrical film for four years, but winning an Oscar for portraying Music/RayCharles in ''Film/{{Ray}}'' [[CareerResurrection revived his career]].
* ''Film/BallisticEcksVsSever'' (2002) -- Budget, $70–90 million. Box office, $19,924,033. This was the only major attempt by Thai filmmaker Wych Kaosayananda, who credited himself as "Kaos", to break into the American cinema market. He returned to Thailand when the movie imploded, and wasn't heard from again for another 10 years. TV showrunner Peter Lenkov also never tried to write another cinematic film (his writings for this film are uncredited).
* ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' (1942) -- Budget, $858,000 (not counting marketing costs), $1.7 million (counting them). Box office, $1.64 million (original theatrical release tally only). The outbreak of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII hurt this film badly, and, along with ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'''s initial disappointing releases, and a bitter strike from Disney's animators resulted in Walt Disney having to make package films for the remainder of the 40s until ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'' brought full-length animation back to mainstream. It's also one of a handful of Creator/RKOPictures-distributed flops in the early 40's that dealt damage to the studio. ''Bambi'' has since been considered one of Walt's [[AcclaimedFlop best]], along with ''Pinocchio'' and ''Fantasia''.
* ''Film/{{Bandits}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $67,631,903.
* ''Bandslam'' (2009) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12,225,023. A definite case of MisaimedMarketing.
* ''Film/BangkokDangerous'' (2008) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $42,487,390.
* ''Film/TheBarbarians'' (1987) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $800,000. Influential director Ruggero Deodato didn't last long in Hollywood after this.
* ''Film/{{Barbarosa}}'' (1982) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $1,736,123.
* ''Film/BarbWire'' (1996) -- Budget, $9 million. Box Office, $3,793,614. This film suffered from being labeled a HotterAndSexier [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks clone]] [[SerialNumbersFiledOff of]] ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''. Pamela Anderson would not have a starring role in a motion picture again for many years, and copyright holder Creator/DarkHorseComics has refused any more adaptations of the ''Barb Wire'' series. It also had the misfortune of taking ''Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000TheMovie'' with it due to the fact that the producers threw the marketing towards ''Barb Wire''.
* ''[[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney's Great Adventure]]'' (1998) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $12 million. This film, along with an earlier string of box office failures, led [=PolyGram=] to sell out their film division, and eventually themselves, to Seagram, [[CreatorKiller who placed the PolyGram name under Universal a year later]]. The movie also ended the idea of a movie series featuring [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney the Dinosaur]] from the PBS series after just one show (Barney was already a SnarkBait target from shows such as Warner/Steven Spielberg's ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' by that point), and stomped the cinematic career of director Steve Gomer into a pancake; he never dealt with Barney again and has only directed episodes for TV network dramas and comedies since.
* ''Film/BarneysVersion'' (2010) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $8,455,457.
* ''Film/{{Baseketball}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $7,027,290. Began the slow but steady decline of director David Zucker, and Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone wouldn't star in anything they didn't write/direct themselves after this, at least until Trey was cast as the villain in 2017's ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3'' (Parker and Stone rebounded in the 21st century; Zucker has yet to).
* ''Film/{{Basic}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $42,792,561. John [=McTiernan=] has directed no films since this feature, especially since he went to prison later.
* ''Film/BasicInstinct2'' (2006) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $38,629,478. It began the derailment of star Creator/SharonStone's career and ended Michael Caton-Jones' directing career. It was even dubbed by the [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]] in the 2007 Razzie Awards ceremony as "[[MedalOfDishonor Basically, It Stinks, Too]]".
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'' (1993) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $5,617,391. This feature was originally supposed to go DirectToVideo, but Warner Bros. ordered it made for the theaters. This decision was a double-edged sword; it was critically loved, but didn't make back its budget, which the filmmakers blamed on Warner. It turned a profit when it DID make it to video later, and became a major CultClassic. This is one of only two theatrically released movies Warner/DC vet Alan Burnett worked on (the other being Disney's ''WesternAnimation/DucktalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'').
* ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'' (2000) -- Budget, $75 million ([[UsefulNotes/HollywoodAccounting declared]]), $44 million (actual). Box office, $29,725,663. The JustForFun/{{egregious}} case of UsefulNotes/HollywoodAccounting involved in the production led to Franchise Pictures being [[CreatorKiller sued into bankruptcy.]] [[NeverLiveItDown The]] [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList infamous]] [[SnarkBait film's]] creation also [[StillbornFranchise crippled plans for a sequel about the second half of the book]] and put Creator/JohnTravolta's career back in jeopardy after his CareerResurrection with ''Film/PulpFiction''. Co-stars Barry Pepper and Forest Whitaker and director Roger Christian, who hate this film, also fell off the map (Whitaker would come back with ''Film/TheLastKingOfScotland''), one of the writers, J.D. Shapiro, criticized Travolta's creative "input" and personally accepted the most recent GoldenRaspberryAward this movie got, and ''Battlefield Earth'' is also guilty of ruining the chances of any further adaptations of Creator/LRonHubbard's work or anything connected to Scientology being taken seriously.
* ''Film/{{Battleship}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $209 million. Box office, $65 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $302.8 million (worldwide)]]. While it was a hit globally, that didn't prevent the U.S. media from pairing up this film with ''Film/JohnCarter'' as one of the big bombs of summer 2012 after it grossed a weak $25.5 million on its opening weekend.
* ''The Beans of Egypt, Maine'' (1994) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $73,956.
* ''[[Film/TheBeastmaster Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time]]'' (1991) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $869,325. The remaining ''Beastmaster'' sequels went DirectToVideo.
* ''Film/TheBeauticianAndTheBeast'' (1997) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $11.4 million. Fran Drescher's first and only theatrical lead role, and her last live-action theatrical appearance overall. This and ''Dunston Checks In'' also sent helmer Ken Kwapis's career into the river until the middle of the 2000's.
* ''Film/BeautifulCreatures'' (2013) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $19,452,138 (domestic), $60,052,138 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheBeaver'' (2011) -- Budget, $21 million. Box office, $970,816 (domestic, no typos there), $6,370,816 (worldwide). Co-star Creator/JodieFoster would not direct another movie until 2016's ''Film/MoneyMonster'', 5 years later.
* ''Film/BedknobsAndBroomsticks'' (1971) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $17.9 million. This film was intended as a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Disney/MaryPoppins'' when the author of that book, Pamela Travers, denied Disney the ability to make sequels to ''Mary Poppins''. This got good reviews, but didn't fare well at the box office; it subsequently was the beginning of the end for director and longtime Disney collaborator Robert Stevenson.
* ''Film/BeeSeason'' (2005) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $6,856,989.
* ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' (2007) -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $126,631,277 (domestic), $287,594,577 (worldwide).
* ''Film/BeforeAndAfter'' (1996) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $8,797,839.
* ''Film/BeforeIGoToSleep'' (2014) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $15,447,154. The last of three busts for distributor Clarius Entertainment. The company was forced to give up the rest of its slate and cease operations the following year.
* ''Film/BeingHuman'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $1,519,366.
* ''Being Julia'' (2004) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $14,339,171. This is the last American film director Istvan Szabo has been involved with.
* ''Film/{{Beloved}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $22,852,487. Disney forced the Creator/OprahWinfrey film, an AcclaimedFlop, out of theaters to make way for Creator/AdamSandler's ''Film/TheWaterboy'', which despite good success was [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList hated]] by critics.
* ''Film/{{Below}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $605,562.
* ''[[Film/BenHur2016 Ben-Hur]]'' (2016) -- Budget, $100 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office,$94,061,311. Originally meant to open in February before being moved against the 2016 Rio Olympics, the remake of the 1959 cinematic classic got clubbed by critics and finished nowhere close to even a bronze showing at the cinema circuit (much less gold or silver), partially due to those bad reviews, partially due to the [[ToughActToFollow idea]] of remaking ''Ben-Hur'' and its iconic chariot race SignatureScene at all (and this is after the other two adaptations from 1907 and 1925), and partially due to opening behind ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' and the last few stragglers in the 2016 Summer Bomb Buster and against the closing ceremonies of the Olympics (which included Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe playing [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] in the hand-off ceremony, which alone got way more attention than ''Ben-Hur''). This unfortunately is the biggest bomb in the Summer Bomb Buster, and is expected to be at least a $100 million defeat for MGM/Paramount (''Rolling Stone'' called the experience "A Remake Disaster of Biblical Proportions"). This film is the very last straw for Viacom/Paramount boss Philippe Dauman, who resigned under bad circumstances the day this film opened (Paramount invested in this bomb alongside MGM, which is the studio that owns the other three ''Ben-Hur'' films). It and director Timur Bekmambetov's previous film, ''Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'', could potentially cause his directing career to crash into the wall, and it remains to be seen if the line of Paramount flops in 2016 will send the label's president, Brad Grey, out the door after Dauman.
* ''Film/BenjiTheHunted'' (1987) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $22,257,624. This movie and ''Film/FullMetalJacket'' several weeks later found themselves front-and-center on ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' when Ebert praised this movie and panned the latter, the inverse of Siskel's ratings, which was something that [[HePannedItNowHeSucks angered Siskel]] (said moment was referenced on ''The Critic''). The ''Benji'' film series and director Joe Camp took a 17-year retirement after this movie (Camp moved into horse training).
* ''WesternAnimation/Beowulf2007'' -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $82,280,579 (domestic), $196,393,745 (worldwide). This is the final film for co-writer Roger Avary, who was arrested on manslaughter and a DUI two months after the film hit theaters, which landed him in jail for several months.
* ''Bert Rigby, You're A Fool'' (1989) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $75,868 (''ouch''). In case you're wondering, that's just over ''one percent'' of its budget.
* ''Film/BestLaidPlans'' (1999) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $27,816.
* ''Betsy's Wedding'' (1990) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $19.7 million. Arguably [[StarDerailingRole the end of Molly Ringwald's stardom]], as afterwards she wouldn't do another theatrical film role for six years.
* ''Film/{{Bewitched}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $63,313,159 (domestic), $131,426,169 (worldwide). Made ideas of more adaptations of the [[Series/{{Bewitched}} classic television show]] go "[[StillbornFranchise poof]]". Writer Delia Ephron's career also vanished, and her sister Nora's directing career would disappear for another four years before she directed what became her final film, ''Julie & Julia''.
* ''Film/BeyondBorders'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $11,705,002.
* ''Film/TheBFG'' (2016) -- Budget, $140 million. Box office, $55,483,770 (domestic), $182,968,754 (worldwide). This adaptation of the Roald Dahl book got positive reviews, but due to Disney focusing all of their advertising on ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'', and a falling out between studio Creator/DreamWorks[=/=]Creator/AmblinEntertainment and Disney that led to the former studios jumping ship to Universal, the film barely got much attention. It didn't help that it was released during [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows a]] [[Film/{{Warcraft}} very]] [[Film/IndependenceDayResurgence busy]] [[Film/ThePurgeElectionYear summer]]. This is also one of the lowest-grossing movies in Creator/StevenSpielberg's career, and this is the final movie Melissa Mathison wrote before her death the year prior. It stands as the latest AcclaimedFlop [[WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox to be]] [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory based]] [[Film/{{Matilda}} off of]] [[Film/JamesAndTheGiantPeach Dahl's work.]]
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'' (1999) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $87,423,861. A hard hit to Creator/RobinWilliams's career, and the film that led to his second feud with The Walt Disney Company, who produced this film alongside Columbia.
* ''Film/TheBigBlue'' (1988) -- Budget, 80 million French Francs (roughly $14 million or €11.5 million). Box office, $3,580,882. One of a handful of 1988/1989 films that caused the Weintraub Entertainment Group to implode right out of the gates, and one of the movies that ended Coca-Cola's control over Columbia and caused their merger with Tristar and Sony, and this one was heavily edited and received a different ending for the U.S. release, which was panned by critics.
* ''The Big Bounce'' (2004) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $6,807,176.
* ''Film/BigBully'' (1996) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $2,042,350. [[StarDerailingRole One of the 3 career-halting films with Tom Arnold released that year]] and was also the last theatrical live-action movie that Creator/RickMoranis would star in (though it was less to do with this movie and more to do with his wife's passing).
* ''Film/BigFish'' (2003) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $66,809,693 (domestic), $122,919,055 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheBigKahuna'' (2000) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $3,728,888.
* ''Film/BigMiracle'' (2012) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $24.7 million.
* ''Film/TheBigPicture'' (1989) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $117,463. This and ''Big Top Pee-wee'' [[CreatorKiller popped the career balloon]] of producer Richard Gilbert Abramson, who never did another theatrically released film (his next project was ''Theodore Rex'', which was denied a cinema run).
* ''Film/BigTopPeeWee'' (1988) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $15,122,324. The director of the original Pee-wee Herman film, Creator/TimBurton, did not return for this sequel due to commitments on ''Film/{{Batman}}''. It was also poorly received by critics and was dumped into theaters amongst a ''Bambi'' reissue, ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', ''Film/AFishCalledWanda'', and other movies. This and ''The Big Picture'' [[CreatorKiller popped the career balloon]] of producer Richard Gilbert Abramson, who never did another theatrically released film (his next project was ''Theodore Rex'', which was denied a cinema run). It not only ended the ''Pee-Wee'' movie series after two features, it was also the beginning of the end for ''Pee-wee's Playhouse'' as well; it ended its run two years later, and not helping matters was Creator/PaulReubens' infamous [[ADateWithRosiePalms nudie theater incident]] the year after. It would be a quarter-century before Netflix revived Pee-wee Herman on a visible basis.
* ''Film/BigTrouble'' (2002) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $8,493,890. As noted above, the film was all set to be released, but after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it was pushed back to avoid implications of being TooSoon, since the movie's climax involves hijacking an airplane. It didn't help.
* ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'' (1986) -- Budget, $20 million (not counting marketing costs), $25 million (counting them). Box office, $11.1 million. This movie's original failure in theaters thanks to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork distributor 20th Century Fox also releasing]] ''Film/{{Aliens}}'' the next week led to director Creator/JohnCarpenter to return to lower budget features and got a planned sequel cast into limbo until BOOM! comics continued it in 2014. Carpenter would not return to directing big budget features until the 90's, by which point he got ensnared in a line of bombs that blacked out his A-list directing career. This movie quickly became a CultClassic on home video and with [[AcclaimedFlop critics]], with one of the major [[BigBad Big Bads]] in the ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' franchise [[note]] Shang Tsung, who was the FinalBoss of the premiere game and TheDragon to the overall BigBad until 2011, Shao Kahn [[/note]] and a recurring enemy in a [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 few]] [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures other]] series being based off this film's villain (Creator/JackieChan's cartoon had two villains that took elements from this movie's villain [[note]] Tso Lan the Moon Demon, who was the mid-boss in the show's second season BigBadDuumvirate, and Daolon Wong, the BigBad of the third season [[/note]], and the second to appear was voiced by James Hong, who played ''BTILC's'' BigBad). A remake is being made with [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson]].
* ''Film/TheBigWedding'' (2013) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $21,819,348 (domestic), $48,425,971 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheBigYear'' (2011) -- Budget, $41 million. Box office, $7.4 million. The film's failure might partly explain why Creator/SteveMartin isn't currently planned for any theatrical projects in the near future outside of Creator/DreamworksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/{{Home}}''.
* ''Big Wednesday'' (1978) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $4.5 million. Though it had a [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff good reception in Japan]] [[note]]An episode of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' with the surfing Pikachu apparently paid homage to it[[/note]].
* ''Film/BikerBoyz'' (2003) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $23,510,601
* ''Film/BillyBathgate'' (1991) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $15,565,363.
* ''Film/BillyLynnsLongHalftimeWalk'' (2016) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $1.7 million (domestic), $29.2 million (international), $30.9 million (worldwide so far). It earned weaker reviews than most of the other films directed by Creator/AngLee, which hindered the opening to where it did not even make a million dollars in opening weekend in the United States. The technology required to show this film the way Lee made it also was only available in two theaters in America, period. This continues a trend of films that have basis on the Iraq War not doing well in the U.S., except for ''Film/AmericanSniper''.
* ''Film/BioDome'' (1996) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $13,427,615. This derailed Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin's careers after Shore had several critical flops.
* ''Film/{{Birth}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $23,925,492. This killed Jonathon Glazer's cinematic directing career for 9 years.
* ''[[Film/TheBirthOfANation2016 The Birth of a Nation]]'' (2016) -- Budget, $8.5 million plus the additional $17.5 million that Fox Searchlight paid to distribute the film. Box office, $15,858,754. Not helping this film's chances at all was a years-old [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape case]] that was attributed to director/writer/star Nate Parker and co-writer Jean [=McGianni=] Celestin resurfacing prior to opening. Neither that nor the film putting out a mediocre performance in the box office will help their careers any.
* ''Film/BlackBook'' (2006) -- Budget, $21 million. Box office, $26.7 million. While this film was critically well received, won a good deal of awards, and was successful in the Netherlands, it didn't prevent the careers of Paul Verhoeven, producer Jeroen Beker, and writer Gerard Soeteman from taking serious damage. Verhoeven didn't get another film credit for six years, and Beker and Soeteman don't have any credits at all after this film. Lead actress Creator/CariceVanHouten received international attention due to this film, and several years later would take on the role of a certain [[Series/GameOfThrones red priestess]] that would propel her career across the globe.
* ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' (1985) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $21,288,692. The film's DevelopmentHell[=/=]TroubledProduction (it was delayed out of 1984 when new boss Jeffrey Katzenberg got the film previewed and subsequently and infamously edited it) and eventual failure almost took Disney Animation down with it, but the modest success of their next animated feature, ''Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective'', kept that from happening (the success of rivals Don Bluth and Steven Spielberg with ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' and then ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' also motivated Disney to keep their animation department open). ''The Great Mouse Detective'' coupled together with the impressive runs of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', ''Disney/OliverAndCompany,'' and a reissue of ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians,'' plus revenue from the Walt Disney Classics and Walt Disney Cartoon Classics [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo lines of videos,]] to ultimately gave Disney enough energy to make ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' 4 years later, which started the Disney Renaissance (plus there are allegations that the two leads from the film inspired Link and Princess Zelda in ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' franchise, which started the next year). ''The Black Cauldron'' still ended the Disney careers of CEO Ron Miller and the film's producers and directors, one of whom was Richard Rich, who went on to make ''WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheKingAndI'' (Miller became a successful winemaker). It also ended any more ideas of adapting the Prydain book series that inspired the film until Disney began a reboot in 2016. Finally, it and the management shift that resulted in Katzenberg coming to Disney led to Disney Animation being moved out of their historic building on the main Disney lot and into Glendale warehouses for Katzenberg's entire decade with the firm; ''The Black Cauldron'' is the final film made in the classic animation building. As for the movie itself, it was sealed in the deepest corner of the Disney Vault after exiting theaters until fan pressures got it released under the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection brand in 1998, 13 years after premiering in theaters[[note]] It was slated for a 1990 video release, but ''Mermaid's'' performance in the theaters prompted Disney to give that movie the video release date and a place under the Classics branding to build up a franchise for that movie instead [[/note]]. This film, along with earlier bombs such as ''DragonSlayer'', influenced the development of Touchstone Pictures just in time for the animated portions of ''Roger Rabbit''.
* ''Film/TheBlackDahlia'' (2006) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $49.3 million. Director Creator/BrianDePalma took a years-long sabbatical from Hollywood-level filmmaking.
* ''Film/BlackKnight'' (2001) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $39,976,235. Director Gil Junger's cinematic career was blacked out by this film's failure; the next film he made ended up going DirectToVideo and he's stayed on television since.
* ''Film/{{Blackhat}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $17,491,707. This was Michael Mann's first film in 6 years, but despite the poor reception, he has financing and distribution set up for an Enzo Ferrari biopic.
* ''Blackwood'' (2001, 2002) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $1,500 (US only). This was an early Uwe Boll project before he started making video game movies, and a poor reception at a film festival sent it DirectToVideo and into obscurity.
* ''Film/BladeRunner'' (1982) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $33.8 million. Like with ''Annie'', the film opened at about the same time as ''E.T.'', which took its audience.
* ''Film/BlairWitch'' (2016) -- Budget, $5 million (not counting marketing costs), $25 million (counting them). Box office, $20.7 million (domestic), $45.1 million (worldwide). Much like ''Ben-Hur'', this sequel to the horror classic got nailed by most critics and managed to secure the lowest opening for any film with the words "Blair Witch" in them. The low take makes it unlikely it will earn enough money to recoup the marketing budget, which quintupled the final price tag.
* ''Film/BlastFromThePast'' (1999) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $26,511,114 (domestic), $40,263,020 (worldwide).
* ''Bleed for This'' (2016) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $4,924,928. Much like ''The Edge of Seventeen'', it opened against the box office monster ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'', but got good reviews.
* ''Film/BlessTheChild'' (2000) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $40,443,010. Writer Tom Rickman was cursed with only writing TV movies after this (one of which was ''The Reagans'', which was released months before Ronald Reagan's passing).
* ''Film/{{Blindness}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $19,844,979.
* ''Film/{{The Blob|1988}}'' (1988) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $8,247,943.
* ''Film/BloodAndWine'' (1996) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $1,094,668.
* ''Bloodhounds of Broadway'' (1989) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, here it comes, $43,671. In addition, film helmer Howard Brookner passed away from AIDS months before this movie's release.
* ''The Blood of Heroes'' (1990) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $882,290.
* ''Film/BloodInBloodOut'' (1993) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $4,496,583.
* ''Film/BloodRayne'' (2006) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $3,650,275. This VideoGameMoviesSuck example was accused by Gametrailers of "wasting Creator/BenKingsley's talent", and it put a bit of a dent in Kingsley's career in addition to becoming an OldShame for frequent Uwe Boll[=/=]Creator/QuentinTarantino collaborator Michael Madsen and writer Guinevere Turner, the latter of whom refused to work with director Boll afterwards. It also prompted Boll to sue co-star Billy Zane (who played Cal Hockley in ''Film/{{Titanic}}'') for lost revenue. This did not stop Uwe Boll from starting a series of films when the film sold well on DVD...
** ''Film/BloodRayneIIDeliverance'' -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $167,445. After the first film fulfilled the expectations for all Uwe Boll[=/=]VideoGameMoviesSuck projects, this one had a limited run and was otherwise released DirectToVideo. A third installment was created three years later, and it was just as badly received as these two movies.
* ''Film/BloodWork'' (2002) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $31,794,718.
* ''Film/BlownAway'' (1994) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $30,156,002.
* ''Film/TheBlueBird'' (1976) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $887,000.
* ''Film/BluesBrothers2000'' (1998) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $14 million. This film, along with the DirectToVideo film ''Susan's Plan'', dropped the curtain on director Creator/JohnLandis's career outside of documentaries until ''Film/BurkeAndHare'' in 2010, which killed his career a second time.
* ''Blue Chips'' (1994) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $23 million.
* ''Film/BlueCity'' (1986) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $6,947,787. ''Blue City'' is the only movie film producer and Paramount executive Michelle Manning attempted to direct.
* ''The Blue Iguana'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, an ugly $161,398.
* ''Blue In The Face'' (1995) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $1,268,636.
* ''Film/BoatTrip'' (2002) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $15 million.
* ''Film/{{Bobby}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $11,242,801 (domestic), $20,704,591 (worldwide).
* ''The Body'' (2001) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $3.7 million.
* ''Film/BodyOfEvidence'' (1993) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $13.2 million. Director Uli Edel only did TV work for the rest of the decade.
* ''Film/BodyOfLies'' (2008) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $39,394,666 (domestic), $115,097,286 (worldwide).
* ''Film/BodyParts'' (1991) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $9,188,150. Part of a string of box office underperformers for director Eric Red, and writer Norman Snider didn't write another film for 19 years.
* ''Bogus'' (1996) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $4.3 million. One of the movies that year, along with the infamous ''Film/TheodoreRex'', the highest budget film to be sent DirectToVideo, that [[StarDerailingRole derailed]] Whoopi Goldberg's cinematic career, but she has moved on to other avenues such as ''The View''.
* ''Film/{{Bolero}}'' (1984) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $8,914,881. This is the movie that burned up the partnership between MGM/UA and Cannon Films (MGM had a policy against releasing X-Rated films in theaters, which became HilariousInHindsight when they released the NC-17 rated ''Showgirls'' a decade later). Star Bo Derek's husband John Derek saw a fatal blowback to his career; he directed just one more movie before his death, and Bo herself saw a demotion to the B list of actresses with her performance and multi-Razzie wins.
* ''Film/TheBoneCollector'' (1999) -- Budget, $73 million. Box office, $66,518,655 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $151,493,655 (worldwide).]] Killed off any chances of another ''Literature/LincolnRhyme'' movie.
* ''Film/TheBonfireOfTheVanities'' (1990) -- Budget, $47 million. Box office, $15,691,192.
* ''Film/TheBoondockSaints'' (2000) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $20,471. (screams) Fortunately, it made $50 million through video rentals as it became a CultClassic.
* ''Film/TheBoost'' (1988) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $784,990.
* ''Film/TheBorder'' (1982) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $6,118,683.
* ''Film/TheBorrowers'' (1997) -- Budget, $29 million. Box office, $22,619,589. Producer Rachel Talalay, who was just coming off ''Film/TankGirl'', which turned her and the other producers of that movie into enemies of the comic's creators, saw her cinematic career fully implode with this film. She has done a lot of TV work since then (including ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' and ''Series/DoctorWho''), but the only two movies she did past this were TV movies. The careers of the director, other producers, and writers also saw downgrades to B-level (two of them, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, would get back into the A-level in the New 10s).
* ''Film/BottleRocket'' (1996) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $560,069. (screams again). Despite the film's financial failure, its critical acclaim brought attention to director Creator/WesAnderson.
* ''Film/{{Bound}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $3,802,260. Won several festival awards and brought attention to the then Wachowski brothers, though.
* ''Film/TheBounty'' (1984) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $8,613,462.
* ''Film/TheBox'' (2009) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $15,051,977 (domestic), $33,333,531 (worldwide). While it got somewhat better reviews than his [[Film/SouthlandTales previous film]], the movie still bombed in theaters, and was the killing blow to director and writer Richard Kelly's career, as he hasn't made another movie since.
* ''Film/BoxingHelena'' (1993) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $1,796,389. This K.Oed Jennifer Lynch's attempt at a cinematic career immediately. She didn't make another movie for 15 years.
* ''The Boy in Blue'' (1986) -- Budget, $7.7 million Canadian dollars. Box office, $275,000 U.S. dollars. This film crushed director Charles Jarrott's cinematic career permanently, since every movie he made in his life after this were T.V. movies.
* ''Boys and Girls'' (2000) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $25.8 million. After the huge success of ''Film/ShesAllThat'', director Robert Iscove worked once again with Freddie Prinze Jr. on this movie. Iscove never really had a theatrical hit again, and ''Boys and Girls'' was part of a rut that Prinze was stuck in during the early '00s.
* ''Film/{{Braindead}}'' [[note]] Known as ''Dead Alive'' in North America. [[/note]] (1992) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office (here's a horror), $242,623! (domestic). Creator/PeterJackson's third film, its blink-and-you-missed-it box office run sent the movie into obscurity until Jackson's success with ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' brought it back into the limelight a decade later. Now an AcclaimedFlop.
* ''Film/BreakfastOfChampions'' (1999) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $178,278.
* ''Film/BrendaStarr'' (1989) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $67,828.
* ''Film/BrickMansions'' (2014) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $20,396,829 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $68,896,829 (worldwide).]] This was Creator/PaulWalker's second-to-last completed film before his unfortunate death the year before.
* ''Bridget Jones's Baby'' (2016) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $24.1 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $207-$211 million (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/BrightLightsBigCity'' (1988) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $16,118,077. It would be the last film that James Bridges would direct before his death in 1993.
* ''Film/BrokedownPalace'' (1999) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $10,115,013.
* ''The Bronze'' (2016) -- Budget, $3.5 million. Box office, $615,816. This movie is one of the worst grossing movies released in 1,000+ theaters. It also had one of the lowest opening weekends of all time ($331).
* ''Disney/BrotherBear'' (2003) -- Budget, $128 million. Box office, $85,336,277 (domestic), $250,397,798 (worldwide). One of [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove the]] [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire last]] [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Disney]] [[Disney/TreasurePlanet films]] to be made in 2D animation before their switch to CGI, starting with ''Disney/ChickenLittle''. It is also the most recent Disney film to have a DirectToVideo sequel.
* ''Film/TheBrothersBloom'' (2008, 2009) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $3,531,756 (domestic), $5,529,464 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheBrothersGrimm'' (2005) -- Budget, $88 million. Box office, $37,916,267 (domestic), $105,316,267 (worldwide).
* ''[[Film/{{Grimsby}} The Brothers Grimsby]]'' (2016) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $25,182,929.
* ''Film/TheBrothersSolomon'' (2007) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $900,926 (domestic), $1,035,056 (worldwide). Bob Odenkirk has yet to sit in the director's chair past this film's flopping; it's also infamous for being the first movie film critic Richard Roeper walked out on.
* ''Film/TheBrownBunny'' (2003) -- Budget, $10 million. World-wide ticket and DVD sales: $374,000. Mostly famous now for the epic war of words between its producer/director/lead actor Vincent Gallo and critic Creator/RogerEbert.
* ''Film/{{Bubble}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $1.6 million. Box office, $261,966.
* ''Film/BubbleBoy'' (2001) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $5,007,898.
* ''Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star'' (2011) -- Budget, just under $10 million. Box office, $2,529,395. It was taken out of theaters after only two weeks, and quickly derailed Nick Swardson's film career before it could even get started (the MisaimedMarketing didn't seem to help either).
* ''Buddy'' (1997) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $10,113,400. This film's menagerie of animals included several chimpanzees, which got an outcry from animal activists over the movie's attempt to portray chimpanzees as suitable, docile house pets (chimpanzees can be pretty aggressive as well as intelligent). Director Caroline Thompson's career was iced for 8 years. Co-writer William Joyce also did not have a theatrical credit for that time span apart from Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife''
* ''Film/BulletToTheHead'' (2013) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $13,561,515.
* ''Film/{{Bulletproof}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $22,611,954.
* ''Film/BulletproofMonk'' (2003) -- Budget, $52 million. Box office, $37,713,879.
* ''Film/BulletsOverBroadway'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $13,383,747.
* ''Film/BurkeAndHare'' (2010) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $4.3 million. It is the last film that Creator/JohnLandis has directed so far.
* ''Film/{{Burlesque}}'' (2010) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $39,440,655 (domestic), $89,519,773 (worldwide).
* ''Burnt'' (2015) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $13,603,571 (domestic), $35,607,937 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ByTheSea'' (2015) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $538,460 (domestic), $2,555,525 (worldwide). Even with the star power of Brangelina (who produced and directed this movie), it never escaped limited release when critics and audiences rained down on it.

[[folder:C-D]]
* ''Film/CabinBoy'' (1994) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3.6 million. This is the first movie with Creator/TimBurton's name on it since his animation days on Disney's ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' to flop at the box office AND with critics. It's also the only movie that writer Adam Resnick directed, and it scorched his movie career. He wouldn't write another cinematic screenplay until 2000.
* ''Film/CaddyshackII'' (1988) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $11,798,302. This movie sunk director Allan Arkush's career for 6 years.
* ''Film/CanadianBacon'' (1995) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $178,104. Little wonder it's Creator/MichaelMoore's only theatrical foray outside the documentary genre to date (admittedly, he has done more than almost anyone to make nonfiction films profitable). This and ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'' led to threats by Universal and [=PolyGram=] higher-ups to shut down Gramercy Pictures; it soldiered on until 2000.
* ''Can't Stop The Music'' (1980) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $2 million. Effectively destroyed Music/TheVillagePeople and the directing career of Nancy Walker right away, as well as putting a major setback in Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner's career and signifying that [[DeaderThanDisco disco was dead as a mainstream genre]]. Being released on exactly the same day as ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' was not the wisest move. Along with ''Xanadu'', ''Can't Stop The Music'' inspired the creation of the [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzies]]. The man who produced this film, Allan Carr, never recovered from it, delivering a few more critical bombs over the 80's and eventually masterminding the infamous opening number to the 1989 Oscars with Disney/SnowWhite and Creator/RobLowe; this event was ripped into pieces and bits by critics and brought Snow White supremo Disney down on the Academy and Carr like a load of bricks, crushing him for good at that point.
* ''Film/CapitalismALoveStory'' (2009) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $14,363,397 (domestic), $17.4 million (worldwide). This got some decent reviews from critics, but it didn't do well enough to make back its budget, and put a severe dent in Michael Moore's career; the infamous documentary director would wait 6 years to release his next movie.
* ''Film/CaptainAmerica1990'' -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, this is not a drill, $10,173. After completing production, this film was supposed to open in 1990. It did, but only in the United Kingdom, never the U.S.; Columbia/Tristar/Sony eventually had to banish it to a DirectToVideo release in 1992. This and ''Howard The Duck'' kept Marvel in the No. 2 Hollywood position until DC committed seppuku with ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' and ''Film/{{Steel}}'' and Marvel jumped into the game with ''Film/{{Blade}}'', both towards the end of the decade, and the next time Captain America was made for theaters, it was [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger a critical step]] in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse; that Captain America film series is ongoing as of 2016.
* ''Film/CaptainCorellisMandolin'' (2001) -- Budget, $57 million. Box office, $25,543,895 (domestic), $62,112,895 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CaptainRon'' (1992) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $22,518,097. Director Thom Eberhardt didn't work on another cinematically released movie for 15 years.
* ''Car 54, Where Are You?'' (1994) -- Budget, $10.7 million. Box office, $1,238,080. This earned a severe backlash from Rosie O'Donnell, who advised people not to rent it. It was also shot in 1990, but edited over the years, which removed the musical numbers.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsAdventureInWonderland'' (1987) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $2,608,000 (domestic), $6,000,000 (worldwide). The film's failure [[FranchiseKiller began the death of the franchise]] and caused a fourth film, ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsNutcrackerSuite'', to air as television special. No more ''Franchise/CareBears'' movies were made until ''Journey to Joke-a-lot'' in 2004 and none were released theatrically until ''Oopsy Does It'' in 2007.
* ''Carpool'' (1996) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $3,325,651. One of the 3 [[StarDerailingRole career-halting films with Tom Arnold released that year]], and the second-to-last major film from long-time director Arthur Hiller. His next movie, ''Burn Hollywood Burn'', which he infamously took the "Alan Smithee" moniker for in a failed attempt to distance himself from the movie, killed both the name and his direction career (he did one movie with [[Music/BonJovi Jon Bon Jovi]] after that, and that's it).
* '' Film/Case39'' (2010) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $13,261,851 (domestic), $28,189,979 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CasinoJack'' (2010) -- Budget, $12.5 million. Box office, $1.1 million. This was the final film from director George Hickenlooper since he died before it opened, and writer Norman Snider hasn't done another movie.
* ''Cassandra's Dream'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $973,018 (domestic), $22,658,532 (worldwide).
* ''[[Film/CatsAndDogs Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore]]'' (2010) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $43,585,753 (domestic), $112,483,764 (worldwide). The nine-year gap between this sequel and the original movie, the higher budget, it becoming one of the worst reviewed films of 2010, and grossing only half the first film's box office put the ''Cats and Dogs'' movies to sleep after two shows. It also euthanized the writing careers of Ron Friedman and partner Steve Bencich, was one of two 2010 films to deal a serious setback to producer Andrew Lazar, and is one of the last movies produced by Polly Johnsen.
* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'' (1997) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $3,566,637. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork It fell through the cracks]] after Creator/WarnerBros bought Turner just before the movie was released, and proceeded to not promote it at all. Helmer and animator Mark Dindal saw a blowback to his career that has yet to go away, especially with his involvement in Disney's ''Disney/ChickenLittle'' a decade later, which WAS a success but disliked by critics and was the last nail in CEO Michael Eisner's coffin (that same coffin also held the body of animation boss David Stainton).
* ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' (2003) -- Budget, $109 million. Box office, $101,149,285 (domestic), $133,960,541 (worldwide). Although it was a success worldwide, it couldn't recoup the budget domestically due to losing audience very quickly. It [[StarDerailingRole began]] the career derailment of Creator/MikeMyers (whose career was further damaged with ''Film/TheLoveGuru''), confined director Bo Welch in Hollywood Purgatory and then to the production designer job (both he and Myers were [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legally forced to do this film]]), and was widely panned by fans and critics for the huge amount of [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar crap that went by]]. Creator/DrSeuss' estate responded by banning any further live-action adaptations of his works, which [[StillbornFranchise coincidentally got a sequel canceled by default]]. An animated remake is said to be in the pipeline.
* ''Film/{{Catwoman}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $82,102,379. Creator/HalleBerry quit the ''X-Men'' franchise to be in this film; rumor has it she crawled back to the producers for a part in ''X-Men 3'' for a substantially lower paycheck. Berry personally accepted her Razzie, stating [[SarcasmMode "It was just what my career needed."]] [[StarDerailingRole Said career had to fight its way back]], plus it managed to convince ''Franchise/JamesBond'' copyright holder EON Productions to [[StillbornFranchise euthanize a planned spinoff]] of their latest Bond film ''Film/DieAnotherDay'', which Berry was supposed to be in (they wound up rebooting the Bond franchise with ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' anyway). The movie was also a major blow to BigBad actress Sharon Stone's career, and she followed it up with ''Basic Instinct 2'', which set it back even further. ''Catwoman,'' along with ''Elektra'', also kept the superheroine genre barren after films like ''Film/{{Supergirl}}'' made it that way, and it also ensured director "Pitof" would not helm another major project. This was DC's first film since 1997, and they would have to wait another year for ''Film/BatmanBegins'' to regain ground in the entertainment industry and thirteen years for ''[[Film/WonderWoman2017 Wonder Woman]]'' to take another crack at the superheroine genre.
* ''The Caveman's Valentine'' (2001) -- Budget, $13.5 million. Box office, $687,194.
* ''Film/CecilBDemented'' (2000) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1,961,544. 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. John Waters also had to wait 4 years before attempting to write another screenplay.
* ''Celebrity'' (1998) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $5,078,660.
* ''Celsius 41.11'' (2004) -- Budget, $1 million. Box office, $93,000. This film was created by Citizens United in response to Michael Moore's ''Fahrenheit 9/11'', which had been released earlier that year and was part of a major political push against President George W. Bush to prevent his reelection (it ultimately failed at the time, but Bush's reputation took one of the steepest drops for any president in his second turn and still became SnarkBait). This doc was also released with two other anti-Michael Moore films, at least one of which was better received. As a result, it burned down the career of documentary director Lionel Chetwynd; he's been a very low-key filmmaker since.
* ''Film/ChainReaction'' (1996) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $21,226,204 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $60,209,334 worldwide]]. Creator/MorganFreeman would not get another award-caliber role until ''Film/MillionDollarBaby'' in 2004.
* ''Film/ChairmanOfTheBoard'' (1998) -- Budget, $10 million (estimated). Box office, $181,233 (Ow). This is Carrot Top's only starring theatrical release, and every film directed by director Alex Zamm between this and 2014 were DirectToVideo And Cable films.
* ''Film/TheChamber'' (1996) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $22,540,359.
* ''Film/{{Changeling}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $35,739,802 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $113,020,256 (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/AChangeOfSeasons'' (1980) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $7,270,000 (domestic).
* ''Film/TheChangeUp'' (2011) -- Budget, $52 million. Box office, $37,081,475 (domestic), $75,450,437 (worldwide).
* ''The Chaperone'' (2011) -- Budget, $3,000,000. Box office, this is real, $14,400. This movie foiled wrestler Triple H's attempt to get into filmmaking.
* ''Film/{{Chaplin}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $31 million. Box office, $9.5 million. This is the final project co-writer Bryan Forbes worked on; he retired after this. It's also one of three 1992 bombs that set Creator/WilliamGoldman's cinematic career back by 5 years. This did OK with critics and earned Creator/RobertDowneyJr a lot of acclaim for portraying Creator/CharlieChaplin.
* ''Film/{{Chappie}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $49 million. Box office, $31,569,268 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $101,069,268 (worldwide)]]. Part of [[Film/{{Aloha}} a]] [[Film/{{Pixels}} string]] of 2015 flops for Sony.
* ''Film/CharlieBartlett'' (2007) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $5,254,980.
* ''Film/CharlieStCloud'' (2010) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $31,162,545 (domestic), $48,190,704 (worldwide).
* ''Charlotte Gray'' (2001) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $5.3 million. The movie's failure caused production studio Film4 to undergo massive changes, laying off most of its staff and replacing their head director.
* ''Literature/CharlottesWeb'' (2006) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $82,985,708 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $144,877,632 (worldwide)]]
* ''Film/ChasingLiberty'' (2004) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $12,313,323.
* ''Film/ChasingMavericks'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $8.3 million. It would be 4 years before director Michael Apted worked on another theatrical film of any kind.
* ''Film/{{Che}}!'' (1969) -- Budget, $5,160,000. Box office, $2.5 million (U.S. rentals). Producer and writers Sy Bartlett and Michael Wilson didn't do any more movies before their deaths at the end of the 70's, and it set late actor Robert Loggia's career back by 5 years.
** ''Film/{{Che}}'' (2008 attempt) -- Budget, $58 million. Box office, $40.9 million. This interpretation of Che Guevara's life was a two-part double feature, and the two parts together form a 4-hour long movie. While it did eventually turned a profit and got some good reviews, in the end, director Steven Soderbergh [[CreatorBacklash wishes he had never made this film.]] Writer Peter Buchman's career wound up in DevelopmentHell, and star Creator/BenicioDelToro, who was also a producer, produced only one other movie, ''Film/{{The Wolfman|2010}}'', to date.
* ''Film/{{Cheri}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $9,366,227.
* ''Disney/ChickenLittle'' (2005) -- Budget, $150 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office, $135,386,665 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $314,432,837 (worldwide).]] This installment in the DisneyAnimatedCanon ''did'' get lots of money at the box office, but it has the worst reviews and {{Hatedom}} of any of the movies Walt Disney Animation Studios ever put out, getting accused of being a ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' wannabe after that film and its sequel had ripped Disney a new one, and was the final blow to now-ex-CEO Michael Eisner's ideas of moving on without Pixar, Eisner's career at Disney, animation head David Stainton's career at Disney, and director Mark Dindal's A-list career; Dindal has not been able to hold onto an animation project since. Disney purchased Pixar for nearly $8 billion weeks later (that's still the biggest purchase the company ever did), and made this intended franchise a StillbornFranchise, with only one minor appearance by the title character in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' a few months later and nothing else.
* ''Film/{{Child 44}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $3,324,330.
* ''Film/ChillFactor'' (1999) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $11,263,966.
* ''Film/ChittyChittyBangBang'' (1968) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $7.5 million (rentals). This adaptation of the novel from Creator/IanFleming was the last time Film/JamesBond supremo Creator/AlbertRBroccoli dealt with something other than the Bond franchise, and was the last major film project for director Ken Hughes.[[note]]who was coming off of being involved with the Bond spoof version of ''Film/{{Casino Royale|1967}}'' the year prior, which derailed the careers of a multitude of its crew, helped end producer Charles Feldman's life, and did damage to ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' and was part of the reason behind the Broccoli/Kevin [=McClory=] feud over ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' and the SPECTRE organization/Ernst Stavro Blofeld (which was on or above the level that Disney's Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg's feud was at; the Broccoli/[=McClory=] feud wasn't fully resolved until after ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'', well after Eisner and Katzenberg sent their own feud into the background)[[/note]] Music/TheShermanBrothers didn't deal with anything not related to Disney again for another 4 years, and this is one of the few, if not the sole, Box Office Bombs with Creator/RoaldDahl's name on it to not be an AcclaimedFlop.
* ''Film/ChristmasEve'' (2015) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $91,302. Despite having big names like Creator/PatrickStewart, Jon Heder, and Creator/LarryKing as a producer, this movie joined the [[SarcasmMode prestigious]] 0% club on Website/RottenTomatoes and didn't make it to 6-digit gross due to having too many elevator scenes. King's career in movies along with director Mitch Davis may be over after this.
* ''Christopher Columbus: The Discovery'' (1992) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $8,251,071. The CreatorBreakdown behind the scenes led to the split of the Salkind directing duo, who never did a film together again.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia: Film/PrinceCaspian'' (2008) -- Budget, $225 million (not counting marketing costs of $175 million), $400 million (counting them). Box office, $141,621,490 (domestic), $419,651,413 (worldwide). This was the second highest grossing film of the year for Disney behind Pixar's classic ''WesternAnimation/WallE'', but the film not being able to make up the budget in the United States (partly due to OK reviews instead of good ones, partly because it was sandwiched between the starting Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse film ''Film/IronMan1'' and ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull''), along with it barely exceeding the combined costs overall, still made it a failure. Producer Mark Johnson felt this didn't have the magic of the original 2005 film, and the loss led to a budgetary feud that got Disney to drop the franchise altogether; Walden Media did a ChannelHop to Fox for the third film, which had its budget and marketing reduced considerably and removed Andrew Adamson from the directing chair (he was replaced by ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' director Michael Apted).
** ''Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia: Film/TheVoyageOfTheDawnTreader'' (2010) -- Budget, $155 million (not counting marketing costs), $255 million (counting them). Box office, $104,386,950 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $415.7 million (worldwide).]] This one actually got worse reviews than the other two chapters and was rated Rotten on RT, plus it took longer for it to reach the $100 million mark in the U.S. Walden managed to lose the franchise outright as a result. Writing duo Christopher Markus and Stephen [=McFeely=] stayed alive thanks to the ''Captain America'' films, but the remaining creative minds took serious damage to their careers; Apted didn't work on another fictional movie for 6 years and Adamson seriously reduced his presence following his work on ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots''. The film franchise went into hibernation for years after this, though a fourth film is on the schedule, now produced by The Mark Gordon Company.
* ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' (2004) -- Budget, $105 million. Box office, $57,761,012 (domestic), $115,772,733 (worldwide). Did well on home media, though, but it would be 9 years before another theatrical film featuring Vin Diesel's Riddick.
* ''Film/CinderellaMan'' (2005) -- Budget, $88 million. Box office, $61,649,911 (domestic), $108,539,911 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CirqueDuFreakTheVampiresAssistant'' (2009) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $13,869,515 (domestic), $39,232,113 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CitizenKane'' (1941) -- Budget, $839,727. Box office, $1.6 million. The film's lead character as played by Creator/OrsonWelles was based off of William Randolph Hearst, and said portrayal enraged Hearst. Hearst ultimately banned all of his holdings from even mentioning the film and banned a multitude of movie theaters from showing it both to make the film fail and to avoid the StreisandEffect trope (plus World War II had cut off the European market, which hurt three other RKO Pictures films (''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'', ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', in that order). Hearst's gambit worked, much to Welles and RKO's chagrin, and even though the film earned several Oscars, it faded into obscurity for a while until it got a revival in 1956. ''Citizen Kane'' is now considered one of the all-time classics of cinema and a prime example of an AcclaimedFlop, alongside the three animated Disney films and ''It's a Wonderful Life''.
* ''Film/CityByTheSea'' (2002) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $29,413,996. Writer Ken Hixon didn't write another screenplay for 8 years.
* ''Film/CityHall'' (1996) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $20,340,204.
* ''Film/CityOfEmber'' (2008) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $17,929,684.
* ''Film/CityOfGhosts'' (2002) -- Budget, $17.5 million. Box office, $1.2 million.
* ''Film/CityOfJoy'' (1992) -- Budget, $27 million. Box office, $14,683,921.
* ''Film/CitySlickersIITheLegendOfCurlysGold'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $43,622,150.
* ''Film/TheClanOfTheCaveBear'' (1986) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $1,953,732.
* ''Clay Pigeons'' (1998) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $1.8 million-2.2 million. Director David Dobkin didn't direct for 5 years.
* ''Film/CleanSlate'' (1994) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $7,355,425.
* ''Film/{{Cleopatra}}'' (1963) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $57,777,778. However, Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox only got roughly half the film's box office take (the rest went to the theaters), and since $44 million was an exorbitant price tag in 1963's dollars (equivalent to $325.6 million today), they nearly went bankrupt and had to sell off parts of its huge backlot (which turned the remnants of the sold parts to what became known as Century City). ''Cleopatra''’s TroubledProduction (which included production being delayed for months when star Creator/ElizabethTaylor got critically sick) and ultimate failure were among the decisive moments in the UsefulNotes/FallOfTheStudioSystem, and the film was considered ''the'' example of failure for decades afterwards, only turning a profit for the studio in the '90s thanks to VHS and DVD sales. It only took 30 years!
* ''Film/{{Clifford}}'' (1994) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $7,411,659.
* ''Film/CloudAtlas'' (2012) -- Budget, $102 million. Box office, $27,108,272 (domestic), $129,787,143 (worldwide). It didn't help that it received criticism from Asians (and Halle Berry) for the decision to have some of the actors, Berry included, play in {{Yellowface}}.
* ''Film/ClubParadise'' (1986) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $12,308,521 (domestic). Harold Ramis didn't direct again until ''Film/GroundhogDay'' in 1993.
* ''Film/{{Clue}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $14,643,997. The film later became a CultClassic, though Hollywood has never again attempted another film based on a board game. A remake of this film has been lingering in DevelopmentHell for about a decade.
* ''Film/TheCobbler'' (2015) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, '''$24,000'''. One of several major busts for Adam Sandler in 2015 alongside ''Pixels''.
* ''Code Name: The Cleaner'' (2007) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $10,337,477. This film's bombing [[CreatorKiller cleaned the clock]] of director Les Mayfield; he has never directed another movie since. It was also one of the last independent releases of New Line Cinema before ''The Golden Compass'' got them swallowed by Warner by the end of the year.
* ''Film/CohenAndTate'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $64,227 (domestic). This was Eric Red's first directing job, and is part of a string of flops for him.
* ''Film/ColdCreekManor'' (2003) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $29,119,434. This marked the final straw in the career of director Mike Figgis, as he hasn't helmed a mainstream film since.
* ''Film/TheColdLightOfDay'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $16.9 million.
* ''Film/CollateralBeauty'' (2016) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $31,016,021 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $82,816,021 (worldwide)]]. This movie got waylaid by ''Film/RogueOne: A Star Wars Story'', its Disney Animation sidekick ''Disney/{{Moana}}'', and Universal competitor ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}'' in the American box office, and it also got waylaid by critics in reviews. Controversy over the film's trailers [[TrailersAlwaysLie lying about the film didn't help]]. It is the lowest opening for Creator/WillSmith's career. This is not going to help director David Frankel's career, with his next film's release date yet to be determined.
* ''Film/CollateralDamage'' (2002) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $78,382,433. One of many films pushed back after the 9/11 attacks to avoid implications of TooSoon, mostly due to its terrorism theme. Didn't help its cause.
* ''College'' (2008) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $6,265,483.
* ''Film/{{Colombiana}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $36,665,854 (domestic), $60,965,854 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ColorOfNight'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $19,726,050. There was an exceptional amount of behind-the-scenes drama that engulfed both this movie's production crew and distributor Disney, who released it through Hollywood Pictures. Director Richard Rush and producer Andrew Vajna's headbutting lead to Rush suffering a heart attack that left him bedridden for four months. In addition, ''Color of Night'' was part of a particularly bad month for Disney (the next week saw the ugly exit of studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg after HE and mentor Michael Eisner had been involved in headbutting themselves along with the release of ''It's Pat'', which got pulled out of theaters immediately).
* ''Film/{{Commandments}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $548,567.
* ''Film/TheCompany'' (2003) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $6,401,690. Got decent reviews, but that didn't stop Robert Altman taking a 3-year hiatus before what became his last film.
* ''Film/CompanyBusiness'' (1991) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $1,501,785.
* ''Film/CompanyMan'' (2000) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $146,193.
* ''Communion'' (1989) -- Budget, $5 million (Estimated). Box office, $1.9 million. Based on the controversial book by Whitley Strieber about a strange experience he had, Strieber lambasted the movie as 'making him look crazy'. It is the last theatrical film that director Phillippe Mora has done to date.
* ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011'' -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $48,795,021. Slayed an attempt by Lionsgate to revive the ''Conan'' movies for The New 10's; they announced that this film would not be canon and the next one would return to Arnold Schwarzenegger, though that sequel has gone silent. Screenwriting duo Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer have had zero screenplays credited to them since this film, and it dented Jason Momoa's move into cinema; he became more famous for his role as Khal Drogo on ''Series/GameOfThrones'' instead.
* ''Film/{{Concussion}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $34,255,169 (domestic), $40,705,403 (worldwide). It did receive good reviews though.
* ''Film/TheCondemned'' (2007) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $8,642,858. This film closed after 4 weeks and lost its makers $15,700,000.
* ''Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'' (2002) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $16,007,718 (domestic), $33,013,805 (worldwide). Got pretty good reviews from critics, but George Clooney would wait another 4 years before sitting back in the director's chair, and this is one of the last times game show professional Chuck Barris, who worked with the film that was based on his CIA "autobiography" and is the creator of ''Series/TheNewlywedGame[=/=]Series/TheDatingGame[=/=]Series/TheGongShow'', would deal with media not related to novels and print.
* ''Film/{{Confidence}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $12,251,640 (domestic), $23,014,206 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ConnieAndCarla'' (2004) -- Budget, $27 million. Box office, $11,341,016.
* ''Film/TheConqueror'' (1956) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $4.5 million (domestic), $9 million (worldwide). This infamous movie was the [[CreatorKiller straw that broke]] Creator/RKOPictures' back after they lost the support of Samuel Goldwyn and Walt Disney a few years earlier, getting mocked for [[WTHCastingAgency casting]] Creator/JohnWayne as UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan (this film and Wayne's image provide the ImageSource for WTHCastingAgency). ''The Conqueror'' [[StarDerailingRole derailed]] the careers of a handful of Hollywood heavyweights including Howard Hughes, though Wayne wasn't one of those careers, and the filming location, which was downwind of a radioactive sight, may have killed several of the crew including Wayne (most of the people involved with the film died of cancer, which radiation can cause). Hughes, who produced this, quickly bought up all prints of the film for up to $12 million and refused to let them resurface and see the light of day again until after he died, at which point Universal got the film rights; this movie also exacerbated his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
* ''Film/TheConspirator'' (2011) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $15,478,800.
* ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $75,976,178 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $230,884,728 (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/TheContender'' (2000) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $17,872,723 (domestic), $22,361,811 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CoolAsIce'' (1991) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $1.1 million. Was seen as one of the factors of Vanilla Ice's popularity downfall.
* ''Film/CoolWorld'' (1992) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $14,110,589. Director Creator/RalphBakshi was so dismayed by the film's reception and ExecutiveMeddling (which included star Creator/KimBasinger [[{{Bowdlerize}} bowdlerizing the movie]] to show for sick hospital children [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids even though that was not the intention of Bakshi]] '''at all''') that he eventually retired from filmmaking. ''Cool World'' was also one of a few flops in the early 90's that [[StarDerailingRole melted the A-list career of Basinger]], and film helmer Frank Mancuso's career was downgraded to B-level status ever since. Only Creator/BradPitt and the veteran cartoon voice actors made it out alive. It would be another quarter-century before ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' revived gossip about truly adult animation again.
* ''Cooties'' (2014) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $55,749 (domestic), $260,542-348,091 (worldwide). Only showed on 29 screens in the U.S. and got a steep 77% drop from its first weekend to it's second, as well as a reduction to 20 screens. It was also streamed on-demand right away, and some markets had it go DirectToVideo.
* ''Film/CopOut'' (2010) -- Budget, $37 million. Box office, $44,875,481 (domestic), $55,439,786 (worldwide). Director Kevin Smith put the blame on the movie's derision on star Bruce Willis a la ''Hudson Hawk'', while praising co-star Tracy Morgan. Smith got a demotion to the B-list of directors when the movie underwhelmed, and the brothers Mark and Robb Cullen, who wrote the movie, would be stuck in Hollywood Limbo until 2016.
* ''Film/TheCore'' (2003) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $31,186,986 (domestic), $73,498,611 (worldwide). Critics joked about this film being extremely implausible in its science. Director Jon Amiel wouldn't helm another movie until the end of the decade, and star Aaron Eckhart views this movie as an OldShame.
* ''The Corruptor'' (1999) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $15,156,200.
* ''Film/{{Cosmopolis}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $20.5 million. Box office, $6.1 million.
* ''The Cotton Club'' (1984) -- Budget, $58 million. Box office, $25,928,721. Suffered an epically TroubledProduction, including the gangland-style execution of a would-be backer and a budget-skyrocketing war of egos between producer Robert Evans and director Creator/FrancisFordCoppola, both of whose careers were already in trouble from other box office disappointments.
* ''Film/TheCounselor'' (2013) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $16,973,715 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $71,009,334 (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/TheCountryBears'' (2002) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $18,012,097. This not only put a dent in Haley Joel Osment's career (he did have the role of Sora in the premiere ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' game that came out alongside this film to offset the damage; that game and ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' were really the only two bright spots for The Walt Disney Company that year), but also led to Creator/ChristopherWalken to not try for another role in a Disney-branded film until the ''Jungle Book'' remake in 2016 (he earned a [[UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAward Razzie nom]] for this movie). This is also one of a handful of attempts by Disney to turn their theme park attractions into movie franchises; their next one, ''Pirates of the Caribbean'', DID succeed in becoming a franchise but it wasn't enough to save Michael Eisner's fading career at Disney. [[Music/TheEagles Don Henley]], who provided the singing voice for one of the bears, also mostly steered clear of the movies after being in this one as well, and this was the last theatrical role ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' alumni Daryl Mitchell took for a few years (he had been paralyzed from the waist down in a motorcycle accident).
* ''Cover'' (2007) -- Budget, Unknown. However, Box Office, $79,436.
* ''Film/TheCowboyWay'' (1994) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $20,280,016.
* ''Film/CowboysAndAliens'' (2011) -- Budget, $163 million. Box office, $100,240,551 (domestic), $174,822,325 (worldwide). This failure led the Walt Disney Studios to rethink their investment in their own fantasy/western ''Film/TheLoneRanger'', but despite reports of them cancelling the film due to ''Cowboys and Aliens'' failing in theaters, Disney proceeded with production, and ''The Lone Ranger'' would bomb [[UpToEleven even harder]] than ''Cowboys and Aliens'', sending the science fiction/western genre [[GenreKiller to Mars]]. Director Creator/JonFavreau didn't direct another film with a nine-figure budget until he helmed Disney's [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 acclaimed remake]] of ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', co-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 ''Dylan Dog: Dead of Night'', and actor Noah Ringer, who had the dishonor of playing Avatar Aang in ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' live-action, hasn't been a visible actor since.
* ''Film/CradleWillRock'' (1999) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $2,903,404.
* ''Crash'' (1996-1997) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $2 million.
* ''Film/CrazyInAlabama'' (1999) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $2,005,840. This was the first of two attempts by Spanish sensation Creator/AntonioBanderas to create a directing career for himself, and the film starred his then-wife Melanie Griffith. This film's failure ended those dreams right away, and the only other directoral effort from Banderas is a Spanish-only film in 2006. This movie also did serious damage to the career of producer Debra Hill, since she didn't make another movie for 6 years, right before she died..
* ''Creation'' (2009) -- Budget, 10 million British Pounds Sterling (roughly $15.5 million). Box office, 341,323 U.S. Dollars (domestic), $896,298 (worldwide). This was the last movie that Jon Amiel directed, but he has fared well on television.
* ''Creature'' (2011) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $300,000. It was promptly jettisoned from theaters a week later. Producer Sid Sheinberg would wait 4 years before trying another movie.
* ''Crimewave'' (1986) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $5,101. Yes, you read that right. In America the movie was released to theaters in ''only two states'', Alaska and Kansas, in order to obtain quick television rights. Star BruceCampbell likes to say "The movie wasn't released, it escaped."
* ''Film/CrimesAndMisdemeanors'' (1989) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $18,254,702.
* ''Film/{{Criminal}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $31.5 million. Box office, $14,703,497 (domestic), $32,618,497 (worldwide). The film's weak performance with critics and audiences could imprison further ideas of director Ariel Vromen directing further non-documentary features. It's also not good news for the producers, and is the final film written by Douglas Cook, who died the year before, with his partner, David Weisberg, being on the bubble as well.
* ''Film/CrimsonPeak'' (2015) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $31,090,320 (domestic), $74,048,222 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Cristiada}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $9,622,846. This iced over director Dean Wright and writer Michael James Love's careers.
* ''Film/CriticalCare'' (1997) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $221,193.
* ''Film/{{Cronos}}'' (1993) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $621,392. This was Creator/GuillermoDelToro's first full-length feature film, and it went through 8 years of DevelopmentHell. It was critically acclaimed, but did not get more than a limited release across 28 screens. del Toro, thankfully, would move on to bigger and better things.
* ''Film/CrookedArrows'' (2012) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $1,832,541. Director Steve Rash and writer Brad Riddell's careers have yet to get out of the woods after this.
* ''Film/CryBaby'' (1990) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $8.2 million. Was almost [[CreatorKiller an end]] to Creator/JohnWaters' directing career (it DID lead to an end to Rachel Talalay's producing career for 7 years; the next film she produced, ''The Borrowers'', finished the job this film started).
* ''Film/ACryInTheDark'' (1988) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $6.9 million.
* ''Film/{{Curdled}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $2.3 million. Box office, $49,620.
* ''Film/ACureForWellness'' (2017) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $5,505,075 (domestic so far), $9,903,335 (worldwide so far).
* ''Literature/CuriousGeorge'' (2006) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $58,360,760 (domestic), $69,834,815 (worldwide).
* ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion'' (2001) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $18,914,307. Almost killed Creator/WoodyAllen's career until ''Film/MatchPoint'', revived it.
* ''Film/{{Cursed|2005}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $29,621,722.
* ''Film/CutthroatIsland'' (1995) -- Budget, $98 million. Box office, $18,517,322. This film [[CreatorKiller bankrupted Carolco Pictures]] for 20 years, [[StarDerailingRole derailed Geena Davis' career]], her marriage with director Creator/RennyHarlin (whose career was also badly damaged), and [[GenreKiller destroyed the entire swashbuckling adventure genre]] (and it seems that any pirate movie without the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' name will be destined to fail; Carolco Pictures would be revived in 2015 by producer Alex Bafer). Composer John Debney actually escaped and it was a StarMakingRole for him. After adjusting for inflation it's the biggest confirmed box office bomb of all time.[[note]]Three other films may have lost more but their losses are given as a range so it's not certain whether they lost more money or not.[[/note]]
* ''D.O.A.'' (1988) -- Budget, $29 million. Box office, $12 million.
* ''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/GetCarter'' and ''Film/{{Driven}}'' just a year ago. Also, the film only saw EXTREMELY limited release, the reason being that the test screenings were so bad that no distributor wanted the movie.
* ''Dangerous Game'' (1993) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, '''$23,671''' (domestic).
* ''Film/DantesPeak'' (1997) -- Budget, $116 million. Box office, $67,127,760 (domestic), $178,127,760 (worldwide). Buried the screenwriting career of Leslie Bohem for 7 years, by which point the Michael Eisner/John Lee Hancock killer ''The Alamo'' buried it for another 7 years. This movie also knocked ''Terminator'' vet Linda Hamilton out of the A list.
* ''Film/DarkBlue'' (2002) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $12,150,301.
* ''Film/DarkShadows'' (2012) -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $79,727,149 (domestic), $245,527,149 (worldwide). Part of a string of flops for star Johnny Depp, and a bad misstep for famed director Creator/TimBurton.
* ''Film/DarlingLili'' (1970) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $3.25 million.
* ''Film/DateWithAnAngel'' (1987) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $1,988,962.

* ''Film/{{Daylight}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $33,023,469 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $159,212,469 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/DeadRingers'' (1988) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $8,038,508. Put a dent in David Cronenberg's career; he didn't take a producer credit again for 8 years. Also a bad start to Norman Snider's career.
* ''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.
* ''Film/{{Deadfall|1993}}'' (1993) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $18,369. (OMG).

* ''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 ''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.
* ''Film/{{DEBS}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $3.5 million. Box office, look out, $97,446. The film was only released in 45 theaters, and closed after 21 days.
* ''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.
* ''Film/{{Deception}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $17,741,298.

* ''Film/DeepRising'' (1998) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $11,203,026. The semi-final film from Cinergi Pictures; 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.
* ''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}}''.
* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''Film/{{Delirious}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $5,546,826.
* ''Film/{{Denial}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $4.2 million. Was an AcclaimedFlop, however, with an 81 on Rotten Tomatoes.
* ''Descent'' (2007) -- Budget, Unknown. However, box office, $15,233.
* ''Film/DesperateHours'' (1990) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $2,742,912. This was Michael Cimino's final theatrical film after two failed attempts to recover his fame from the fallout of ''Heaven's Gate''.
* ''Film/DesperateMeasures'' (1998) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $13,806,137.

* ''Film/TheDevilsDouble'' (2011) -- Budget, $19.1 million. Box office, $1,361,512.
* ''Film/TheDevilsOwn'' (1997) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $42,868,348 (domestic), $140,807,547 (worldwide). This served as the final film for director Alan J. Pakula, as he was killed in a car accident the next year after its release.
* ''Film/{{Diabolique}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $17,100,266. The second of 3 career-zapping bombs for Jeremiah Chechik, and the last film Marvin Worth produced before his death.
* ''Diana'' (2013) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $335,359 (domestic), $21,766,271 (worldwide).
* ''Film/DidYouHearAboutTheMorgans'' (2009) -- Budget, $58 million. Box office, $29,580,087 (domestic), $85,280,250 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Diggstown}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $4,836,637.
* ''Film/TheDilemma'' (2011) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $69,721,966.
* ''Film/DirtyDancing: Havana Nights'' (2004) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $27.7 million. This movie got called out on its [[{{Sequelitis}} attempt]] to remake the original 80's 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 semifinal 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 the 2004 adaptation of ''[[Film/ThePunisher2004 The Punisher]]'')
* ''Dirty Love'' (2005) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $36,099. This [[StarDerailingRole dirtied]] Jenny [=McCarthy=]'s cinematic career.
* ''Film/ADirtyShame'' (2004) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $1,339,668 (domestic), $1,914,166 (worldwide). This [[EverybodyHasLotsOfSex very dirty]] movie's ugly box office returns and mixed reviews was cited by John Waters as to why he hasn't directed again.
* ''Film/TheDisappointmentsRoom'' (2016) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $5.6 million. The film being a complete disappointment 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, and then having a ''97.4%'' drop in box office from week two to week three (beating ''Gigli's'' drop and earning a rare snark from TheOtherWiki) has a good chance of putting actor Wentworth Miller's writing career in a prison cell and doing serious damage to the careers of the director and producers (director D.J. Caruso has the next ''Film/{{XXX}}'' film with a returning Creator/VinDiesel to look forward to, though).
* ''Film/DisasterMovie'' (2008) -- 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.
* ''Disorganized Crime'' (1989) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7 million.
* ''Film/TheDivergentSeriesAllegiant'' (2016) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $66,184,051 (domestic), $179,240,773 (worldwide). This movie has been 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). This most likely has to do with [[ExecutiveMeddling Lionsgate forcing the creators to make a film every year without fine-tuning the script and thus resulting in a weaker movie]], 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; after Lionsgate's other such franchise, ''Film/TheHungerGames'', ended successfully, people started losing interest. Because of the weak box office performance, not only is ''Ascendant's'' (the final movie in the series) [[http://collider.com/ascendant-budget-allegiant-box-office-shailene-woodley/ budget being slashed,]] [[http://variety.com/2016/film/news/divergent-series-ascendant-1201818694/ but it will forgo being released to theaters in favor of being released as a]] ''TV Movie'', something almost unheard of for a big budget theatrical series.
* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''Film/DoctorDolittle'' (1967) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $6.2 million. This was part of a string of musical bombs for 20th 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 ''Star Wars'' in 1977 and the move to embrace UsefulNotes/{{VHS}} as an alternate viewing method. A remake with Eddie Murphy eventually surfaced in the 90's.
* ''Film/DoctorTAndTheWomen'' (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.
* ''Domestic Disturbance'' (2001) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $54,249,294. Director Harold Becker has not directed since this movie, and it put a dent in producer Jonathon Krane's career that remained until he died in 2016.
* ''Film/{{Domino}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $22,944,502.
* ''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.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Doogal]]'' (2006) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7,417,319 (domestic), $26,691,243 (worldwide). This American dub of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' series was critically panned for its poor, pop culture 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. This will probably be the last time anyone in America hears about ''The Magic Roundabout''.
* ''Film/{{Doom}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $55,987,321. A lot of the scorn towards this case of VideoGameMoviesSuck was directly connected to the last part of its climax, which attempted to emulate the classic FirstPersonShooter (Creator/RogerEbert famously said it was like, "some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play [[note]]This is the page quote for the VideoGameMoviesSuck page; Richard Roeper compared it to like when someone puts a big meal in front of you and says "Now Watch Me Eat It"[[/note]]) When this intended Grand Premiere installment got gunned down by critics and the box office, the [[StillbornFranchise planned sequels were cast into the fire.]]
* ''Film/DoubleDragon'' (1994) -- 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/RatchetAndClank not be the last video game-based movie to do serious damage to Gramercy]]. Coming out right after another beat'em up/fighting game-based film from Gramercy parent Universal, Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme's ''Film/StreetFighter'', did not help at all (''Street Fighter'' fared well at the box office, but not with critics), and neither did a shot of the lead character kicking in the screen of the arcade game that inspired the film making it into the movie. 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, screenwriters Michael Davis and Peter Gould (the former faded out after 1995; the latter eventually moved on to ''Series/BreakingBad''), and story men Paul Dini and Neal Shusterman (the former only dealt with animated/comic book/video game material since, and the latter was written for TV and done novels since).
* ''Film/DoubleTeam'' (1997) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $11,438,337.
* ''Film/DownWithLove'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $20,305,251 (domestic), $39,468,111 (worldwide).
* ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' (1995) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $3,039,634.
* ''Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt'' (1995) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $10,772,144. Where ''Life Stinks'' 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' career after a previous record of notorious accomplishments, which started with ''Film/TheProducers''. He later found success in Broadway, notably stage versions of this film and ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.
* ''Film/DragonballEvolution'' (2009) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $9,362,785 (domestic), $57,497,699 (worldwide). Hated by fans for being an InNameOnly adapation, it killed any chance of a live action film based on the sequel series, ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. The ''Dragon Ball'' franchise would later come back starting with the release of ''Anime/DragonBallKai'' and never looking back.
* ''Film/{{Dragonfly}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $52,323,400.
* ''Film/{{Dragonslayer}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $18,000,000 (Estimated). Box office, $14,110,013. Walt Disney Productions produced this film alongside Paramount due to its more mature themes and the stereotype 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.
* ''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 10's.
* ''Film/DreamHouse'' (2011) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $38,502,340.
* ''Dream Lover'' (1993) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $256,264.
* ''Film/DriveAngry'' (2011) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $41,042,583.
* ''Film/{{Driven}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $72 million. Box office, $54,744,738.
* ''Film/DropZone'' (1994) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $28,735,315.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' (1990) -- Budget, Unknown. 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 ''The Rescuers Down Under'' 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.
* ''Film/DudleyDoRight'' (1999) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $9,974,410. Its failure along with that of the later released companion film ''[[Film/RockyAndBullwinkle The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' 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''.
* ''Film/{{Duma}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $994,790.
* ''Film/{{Dune}}'' (1984) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $30,925,690 (domestic). Became an OldShame to Creator/DavidLynch and put producer Raffaella De Laurentis in the B-list of producers before she made a comeback with ''Film/{{Backdraft}}''.
* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons'' (2000) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $33,807,409. This film had sequels, but they were sent straight to the home entertainment field; no other attempts to make a cinematic version of the famed RPG have materialized yet.
* ''Film/DunstonChecksIn'' (1996) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $9,871,066. Managed to send ideas of making movies with monkeys [[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 2005, 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).
* ''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 ''Matilda'' wounded it; ''Death to Smoochy'' is the other movie.
* ''Film/{{Dutch}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $4,603,929.
* ''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 ''Cowboys And Aliens''. 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.

* ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'' (1989) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,916,303.
* ''Ed'' (1996) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $6,280,000.
* ''Film/EdWood'' (1994) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $5.9 million. This was the first film directed by acclaimed director Creator/TimBurton to not do well at the box office. It's also the very last movie released while Jeffrey Katzenberg was still on distributor Disney's lot; he left the lot and ended his involvement with the studio the next day.
* ''Film/{{EdTV}}'' (1999) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $35,319,689.
* ''Film/{{Edge of Darkness|2010}}'' (2010) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $43,313,890 (domestic), $81,124,129 (worldwide). Creator/MelGibson attempted a comeback with this film after his infamous DUI years prior, but it opened to mixed reviews. Gibson would have to wait until 2016 before he could try to get back into the top of the Hollywood Elite pantheon, but he did play a BigBad in ''The Expendables 3'' in the meantime.
* ''Film/TheEdgeOfSeventeen'' (2016) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $14,431,633 (domestic). It opened against ''Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'' and later ''Moana'', but [[AcclaimedFlop it did get great reviews]], and earned its star, Creator/HaileeSteinfeld, a Golden Globe nomination.
* ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow'' (2014) -- Budget, $178 million. Box office, $100,206,256 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $369,206,256 (worldwide)]].
* ''Eddie'' (1996) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $31,387,164. One of the movies that year, along with the infamous ''Film/TheodoreRex'', the highest budget film to be sent DirectToVideo, that [[StarDerailingRole derailed]] Whoopi Goldberg's cinematic career, but she has moved on to other avenues such as ''The View''.
* ''Film/TheEducationOfCharlieBanks'' (2007-2009) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $15,078. This movie from [[Music/LimpBizkit Fred Durst]] only got a limited release two year after it premiered at Tribeca, and then was expelled from the theater circuit to the DVD market.
* ''Film/EightLeggedFreaks'' (2002) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $17,322,606 (domestic), $45,867,333 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Elektra}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $43 million. Box office, $24,409,722 (domestic), $56,681,556 (worldwide). This, along with ''Catwoman'', kept the superheroine genre barren after films like ''Supergirl'' made it that way, and ended the ''Daredevil'' Marvel movie series after just two films, becoming an OldShame for Jennifer Garner in the process. Film copyright holders Fox subsequently found themselves unable to reboot the series before the rights reverted to Disney/Marvel, who rebooted it themselves as a Creator/{{Netflix}} [[Series/Daredevil2015 show]].
* ''WesternAnimation/ElAmericanoTheMovie'' (2016) -- Budget. $4 million. Box office, $331,349.
* ''Film/{{Elizabethtown}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $26,850,426 (domestic), $52,034,889 (worldwide).
* ''Film/EllaEnchanted'' (2004) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,388,767. Director Tommy O'Haver hasn't been able to get another one of his films into theaters after this.
* ''Film/ElviraMistressOfTheDark'' (1988) -- Budget, $7.5 million. Box office, $5,596,267. There wouldn't be another ''Elvira'' movie until 2001, and it blacked out director and ''Saturday Night Live'' producer James Signorelli's film career as well.
* ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'' (2000) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $89,302,687 (domestic), $169,327,687 (worldwide). This Disney Animated Classic had one of the most infamous production histories in the history of the studio; it was meant to be another musical like in the Disney Renaissance, but Disney executives ordered it turned into a buddy comedy. The film met DevelopmentHell and prompted CEO Michael Eisner to confront the makers and say, "You are this close to being cancelled!" Said DevelopmentHell jettisoned all of Music/{{Sting}}'s involvement apart from the credits song, which Sting and the animators were dismayed at, and the whole thing got a documentary on the film's production titled ''The Sweatbox''. In the end, the final version fared OK at the box office, but got great reviews and was quickly [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo vindicated by video/DVD sales]], leading to a small franchise. This is unfortunately the last time director Mark Dindal, who was still reeling from ''Cats Don't Dance'', could enjoy the spotlight; his next Disney film, ''Disney/ChickenLittle'', became a target of derision for trying to jump on the ''Shrek'' wagon (the original ''Shrek'' movie came out about 6 months after ''Groove'' did) and killed his career along with Eisner's and David Stainton's and was the last factor in Disney purchasing Pixar.
* ''Film/TheEndOfViolence'' (1997) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $386,673.
* ''Film/EndersGame'' (2013) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $61,737,191 (domestic), $125,537,191 (worldwide). The film suffered from poor marketing that couldn't really make clear [[UncertainAudience if the film was targeted to kids or adults]]. It also had the misfortune of being the adaptation of a novel by noted HeteronormativeCrusader Creator/OrsonScottCard, during a time when gay rights were a hot issue; some civil rights groups urged a boycott of the film solely on these grounds.
* ''Film/EnemyAtTheGates'' (2001) -- Budget, $68-85 million. Box office, $51,401,758 (domestic), $96,976,270 (worldwide).
* ''Film/EnemyMine'' (1985) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $12,303,411.
* ''Film/{{Envy}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $14,581,765.
* ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $5,359,645.
* ''Film/ErnestRidesAgain'' (1993) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $1.4 million. Was the last Ernest movie released theatrically.
* ''Film/EscapeFromLA'' (1996) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $25,477,365. Part of a string of directing career-ending bombs for Creator/JohnCarpenter, and it's the only film Creator/KurtRussell, who worked with Carpenter on ''Big Trouble in Little China'', has attempted to produce or write. The film also received a semi-ShoutOut[=/=]TakeThat from ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D''.
* ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'' (2013) -- Budget, $650,000. Box office, $171,962. An attempt at [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity free publicity and recognition]] by secretly filming this movie in Creator/{{Disney}}'s [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks American theme parks]] fell apart when the Mouse House [[GenreSavvy wised on]] to the attempt to invoke the StreisandEffect trope and ignored the film outright; as a result, it fell out of the limelight instead.
* ''Film/EscapePlan'' (2013) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $25,132,228 (domestic), $137,324,564 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Eulogy}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $75,076.
* ''Film/{{Eurotrip}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $20,796,847.
* ''Film/EvanAlmighty'' (2007) -- Budget, $175 million. Box office, $100,462,298 (domestic), $173,418,781 (worldwide). Torpedoed the careers of director Tom Shadyac and writer Steve Oedekerk (Shadyac backed out of Hollywood while Oedekerk moved to children's programming), and crushed any ideas of continuing the "Almighty" film series after two movies.
* ''Eve of Destruction'' (1991) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $5,451,119.
* ''Even Cowgirls Get The Blues'' (1994) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $1,708,873. This was delayed out of 1993 thanks to a bad reception at the Toronto Film Festival, and could have derailed UmaThurman's career completely had it not been for ''Film/PulpFiction'' months later. Director/writer/producer Gus Van Sant would not write another screenplay for 9 years.
* ''Film/TheEveningStar'' (1996) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12,767,815. An attempt at a sequel to ''Film/TermsOfEndearment'', which instead contracted a bad case of {{Sequelitis}}. This sickness stricken the careers of director/writer Robert Harling, producer Polly Platt, and co-writer Larry [=McMurtry=]; [=McMurtry=] would somewhat recover with ''Brokeback Mountain'' in 2005, but the others did not, as Harling only wrote one more critically panned film before effectively disappearing from Hollywood, and Platt never took another non-executive producer role for another film in her life. This was also one of the last times co-producer and Paramount/Disney vet and former co-worker to Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Kirkpatrick, dealt with Paramount; a fight he had with one of their executives ultimately derailed his mainstream career.
* ''Film/EventHorizon'' (1997) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $26,673,242.
* ''Film/AnEverlastingPiece'' (2000) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $75,228. (Blows raspberry).
* ''Everybody Wants Some!!!'' (2016) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,400,278. Despite [[AcclaimedFlop near-universal acclaim]], and a [[Creator/RichardLinklater big name director]], the film failed to expand outside limited release due to poor performance. It also kicked off a TraumaCongaLine for Creator/{{Paramount}} that year, culminating in Creator/{{Viacom}} president Philippe Dauman getting the boot after a decade with the company.
* ''Film/EveryoneSaysILoveYou'' (1996) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $9,759,200.
* ''WesternAnimation/EveryonesHero'' (2006) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $16,627,188.
* ''Film/{{Evolution}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $38,345,494 (domestic), $98,376,292 (worldwide).
* ''Excess Baggage'' (1997) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $14.5 million. Was supposed to be the first in a line of movies produced by Alicia Silverstone, but the movie's poor box office made it her only production credit. Both this film and the infamous ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' led to a quick end to Silverstone's stardom.
* ''Film/ExitToEden'' (1994) -- Budget, $25-30 million. Box office, $6,841,570.
* ''Film/ExodusGodsAndKings'' (2014) -- Budget, $140 million. Box office, $65,014,513 (domestic), $267,281,036 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheExpendables3'' (2014) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $39,322,544 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $206,172,544 (worldwide).]] Unfortunately, the film got leaked online several weeks before release, which prompted a lawsuit against several piracy websites from Lionsgate. In addition to that and bad reviews, everyone in the U.S. was waiting in line for ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014''. Despite all this, and thanks to its foreign gross, a fourth installment in the Sylvester Stallone series is said to be in the works.
* ''Film/{{Explorers}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $9,873,044.
* ''Film/TheExpress'' (2008) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $9,808,124.
* ''Existenz'' (1999) -- Budget, $31 million Canadian Dollars/$15 million U.S. Dollars. Box office, $2,856,712.
* ''Film/ExtraordinaryMeasures'' (2010) -- Budget, $31 million. Box office, $15,134,293. This is one of two 2010 bombs that caused Creator/BrendanFraser's career to outright [[StarDerailingRole flatline]] after ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'' put it in the hospital for the decade prior to it. Director Tom Vaughan's career found itself plummeting to DevelopmentHell after this movie, writer Robert Nelson Jacobs has not created another screenplay, and this, along with ''Film/CowboysAndAliens'', was a major blow to Harrison Ford's career, though he eventually bounced back when he returned to Star Wars for ''Film/TheForceAwakens''.
* ''Film/ExtremeMeasures'' (1996) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $17,380,126.
* ''Film/ExtremeOps'' (2002) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $10,959,475.
* ''Film/ExtremePrejudice'' (1987) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $11,307,844.
* ''Literature/ExtremelyLoudAndIncrediblyClose'' (2011) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $31,847,881 (domestic), $55,247,881 (worldwide).
* ''Film/FactoryGirl'' (2006) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $2,581,387. This film put a major dent in director George Hickenlooper's career and was the beginning of Hayden Christensen's drought in roles since the George Lucas-produced ''Star Wars'' movies had come to an end, and he had earned Razzies and snark for his portrayal of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader for the last two movies before Disney seized control (Christensen was also intentionally minimizing his career after making a few investments).
* ''Film/{{Fair Game|1995}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $11,534,477. Was such a bomb that some of the crew (including director Andrew Sipes) [[CreatorKiller never worked on another movie again]].
* ''Film/{{Faithful}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $2,101,580.
* ''The Fall of The Roman Empire'' (1964) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $4.75 million. Comparisons with contemporary Roman epic ''Cleopatra'' are inevitable, although ''Fall'' had a substantially less TroubledProduction and was much more well-received by critics. Audiences, however, had lost interest in sword and sandal epics following ''Cleopatra'' (and, unlike ''Cleopatra'', ''Fall'' has largely faded into obscurity since its initial release in 1964). Producer Samuel Bronston and his studio [[CreatorKiller went broke]] when this film failed.
* ''The Fan'' (1981) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $3,082,096. Director Ed Bianchi didn't direct another theatrical film for another decade.
* ''Film/TheFan'' (1996) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $18,626,419.
* ''Film/{{Fanboys}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $960,828.
* ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' (1940) -- Budget, $2,280,000. Box office, $361,800 (original theatrical release tally only). The outbreak of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII plus the cost of movie theaters having to install Disney's new "Fantasound" technology to properly show ''Fantasia'' hurt this film badly, and, along with ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'''s initial disappointing releases and a bitter strike from animators, defeated the dream of turning ''Fantasia'' into a concert/animation film series for decades and resulted in Walt Disney having to make package films for the remainder of the 40s until ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'' brought animation back to mainstream. It's also one of a handful of Creator/RKOPictures-distributed flops in the early 40's that dealt damage to the studio. ''Fantasia'' has since been considered one of Walt's [[AcclaimedFlop best]], along with ''Pinocchio'' and ''Bambi''.
** ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}'' (2000) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $90.9 million. It was announced around the same time as the Walt Disney Classics [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo VHS release]] of ''Fantasia'' and the premiere of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and was a '''massive''' production that took [[DevelopmentHell 9 years]] to finish. Disney released the movie to celebrate the new millennium. The reasons for the low gross was Executive Producer Roy Disney's decision to release the film only in IMAX format, amongst other marketing moves such as building a temporary IMAX theater that cost $4,000,000 and having the show's orchestra tour the country. The IMAX-only showings severely reduced the potential box office gross due to the format still being in relative infancy, having less than 100 theaters in North America at the time. It became the highest grossing IMAX feature up to that point and helped further development of the format, but it still lost money due to this decision, even after it was released in regular theaters in the summer. All major features released in IMAX by Hollywood now have regular theater showings released simultaneously with the IMAX release.
* ''Theatre/TheFantasticks'' (2000) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $49,666.
* ''[[Film/FantasticFour2015 Fantastic Four]]'' (2015) -- Budget, $120 million (not counting marketing costs), $200 million (counting them). Box office, $56,117,548 (domestic), $167,397,693 (worldwide). Fans and copyright holder Disney/Marvel were already annoyed at Fox's [[AshCanCopy ill-fated attempt to hold on to the]] ''Fantastic Four'' franchise despite the middling performances of [[Film/FantasticFour2005 the 2005 film and its sequel]]. The movie's TroubledProduction that saw director Josh Trank exhibit bad behavior that cost him a ''Star Wars'' directing job, Creator/MarvelComics seemingly doing everything in their power ''not'' to promote it (and this is a company that put '''''Film/HowardTheDuck''''' on their website and not this) and the evisceration by critics, fans, ''and'' moviegoers led this to be the worst-performing superhero-based movie since ''Film/TheGreenHornet''. It didn't even win on its opening weekend, losing to ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'', which premiered a week prior. The next hit came when this movie's nuclear failure managed to morph Fox's entire fiscal year into a severe financial loss, crushing their plans for a sequel and derailing Trank's career, turning his name into instant SnarkBait as a latter-day Michael Cimino. As if adding insult to injury, Fox's next Marvel movie, ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', utterly demolished expectations, making back its ~$60 million budget ''thirteen times over'', making this movie's entire lifetime's gross earnings in its '''''opening weekend''''' (that film was rated R and therefore somewhat out of Disney's comfort zone, but in contrast to ''Fantastic Four'', they did ''not'' have a problem with creating merchandise for that film or allowing Marvel executives to praise it). As for other members of the crew, all four "Fantastics" in the movie regard this as an OldShame, with at least one of them plus the film's villain actor seeing career difficulties. It still remains to be seen what the full extent of the damage will be to both Fox and the ''Fantastic Four'' brand as a whole.
* ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'' (2009) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $21,002,919 (domestic), $46,471,023 (worldwide). Part of a [[Film/{{Matilda}} string of]] [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory box]] [[Film/JamesAndTheGiantPeach office]] [[Film/TheBFG flops]] based off of the library of Creator/RoaldDahl (all of these movies are {{acclaimed flop}}s). This is so far the only animated film from Creator/WesAnderson (it was a stop-motion movie), but he is in pre-production on another one.
* ''Film/FarCry'' (2008) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $700,000. This Uwe Boll [[VideoGameMoviesSuck film]] was actually distributed by two major Hollywood studios instead of being a small project (The Walt Creator/{{Disney}} Company distributed it in North America while Fox distributed it in Boll's home country of Germany, where it was heavily edited). This case of VideoGameMoviesSuck is one of the last truly mature projects Disney agreed to distribute before studio chief Dick Cook was asked to leave by CEO Bob Iger when they bought Marvel the next year and changed their film strategy. Creator/{{Ubisoft}} is planning another ''Far Cry'' movie, but it is not known if Uwe Boll will be a part of it, as all of the infamous director's films past this point are small-scale productions, plus by this point, the gaming companies had become GenreSavvy enough to not let Boll anywhere near their properties; all the video game movies he did inflicted heavy damage on the franchises they came from (Boll attempted to get the ''Film/{{Warcraft}}'' directing job, but Blizzard, expecting an Uwe Boll-helmed ''Warcraft'' movie to be a FranchiseKiller for ''Warcraft'' itself, laid into him for applying. Boll also wanted to do a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' film, which got an equally negative reception from creator Creator/HideoKojima).
* ''Film/FarewellToTheKing'' (1989) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $2,420,917. One of two films during this time, the other being ''Flight of the Intruder'', that [[CreatorKiller grounded]] the directing career of John Milius, but he's still a major Hollywood player.
* ''Film/{{Faster}}'' (2010) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $23,240,020 (domestic), $35,626,958 (worldwide). This one caused co-producer Tony Gayton's cinematic career to [[CreatorKiller skid right off the highway]]; he moved to television and created ''Series/HellOnWheels''.
* ''[[Film/FathersDay1997 Fathers' Day]]'' (1997) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $35,681,080. Outside of a voiceover role in Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''Film/ABugsLife'', ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' star Julia-Louis Dreyfus wouldn't return to the big screen until The New 10's.
* ''Film/FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' (1998) -- Budget, $18.5 million. Box office, $10.6 million.
* ''Film/FearDotCom'' (2002) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $18,902,905.
* ''Film/{{Fearless|1993}}'' (1993) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $6,995,302.
* ''Film/{{Femme Fatale|2002}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $16.8 million.
* ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie'' (1991) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $1,964,253. The film had the misfortune of languishing on a shelf for years, finished since 1987 but finally getting a release in 1991--the same year as Disney's ''Beauty and the Beast'', with extra competition from Amblin's ''An American Tail: Fievel Goes West'' and Creator/DonBluth's ''Rock A Doodle''. All three films [[CurbStompBattle completely crushed the Felix movie at the box office]] (''Felix'' at least took ''Rock A Doodle'' with it to the bottom of the ocean, spelling the beginning of the end for Bluth's main career), and this movie's failure, possibly along with the introduction of SpiritualSuccessor ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' the same year, sent Felix into a niche and eventually to Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's [=DreamWorks=] Classics/Classic Media portfolio.
* ''Fever Pitch'' (1985) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $618,847. This was the last movie that Richard Brooks directed before he died in the early 90's.
* ''Film/TheFifthEstate'' (2013) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $8,555,008.
* ''Film/TheFifthWave'' (2016) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $34,294,936 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $106,484,451 (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/FightClub'' (1999) -- Budget, $63 million. Box office, $37,030,102 (domestic), $100,853,753 (worldwide). At the time of its release, the film was ravaged by critics for its messages, dark humor, and violence, and was K.O'ed at the box office. Thankfully, the film managed to become a huge CultClassic, becoming one of the greatest movies of all time, and one of David Fincher's best films.
* ''The Fighting Temptations'' (2003) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $32,750,821. This eventually knocked out the career of director Jonathon Lynn along with the careers of the movie's producers, and was one of a handful of bad steps for Cuba Gooding Jr.
* ''Filth And Wisdom'' (2008) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $354,628 (Yuck!).
* ''Film/FinalAnalysis'' (1992) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $28,590,665. One of a few flops in the early 90's that [[StarDerailingRole melted the A-list career of Kim Basinger.]]
* ''Anime/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin'' (2001) -- Budget, $135-167 million. Box office, $85,131,830. This film's failure led to the collapse of Square Pictures after only one film and delayed the merger of [[Creator/SquareEnix Squaresoft with Enix]]; the latter company was hesitant at merging with a company that had just lost a large amount of money in a high-profile manner. This film is also cited as the reason why the movie's director and the creator of the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'' series, Hironobu Sakaguchi, resigned from the firm and ended his involvement with the franchise, moving to Hawaii and starting a new developer (this film also wounded the careers of its writers; this is also one of at least two instances on this list where the main brain behind the [[Franchise/FinalFantasy games]] was unable to direct a film based off the series and saw his career get impaled; the other is Origin Systems' Chris Roberts and the ''Film/WingCommander'' movie). [[FranchiseOriginalSin Square has not enjoyed the level of dominance it once had prior to this film's release.]]
* ''Film/FindMeGuilty'' (2006) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $2,636,637.
* ''Film/TheFinestHours'' (2016) -- Budget, $70-80 million. Box office, $52,099,090 (worldwide). This was originally meant to open the previous October, but Disney ended up dumping the film on the same day as ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'', which got considerably better reviews overall to the mixed ones ''The Finest Hours'' got (this was also the day ''Fifty Shades of Black'' opened and ''The Force Awakens'' was still playing). It was subsequently scuttled at the box office and cost Disney $75 million for the error (though they would rebound with ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' in time).
* ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce'' (1983) -- Budget, $1.2 million. Box office, $760,883. This is a Creator/RalphBakshi film, so unsurprisingly, it became a CultClassic.
* ''Film/FireBirds'' (1990) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $14,760,451.
* ''Film/FireDownBelow'' (1997) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $16,228,448.
* ''Film/{{Firestorm}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $8,165,212.
* ''Film/{{Firewall}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $48,751,189 (domestic), $82,751,189 (worldwide).
* ''Film/FirstDaughter'' (2004) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $10,592,180.
* ''Film/FirstKnight'' (1995) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $37,600,435 (domestic), $127,600,435 (worldwide).
* ''The First $20 Million Is Always The Hardest'' (2002) -- Budget, $17,000,000. Box office, '''$5,491''' (OUUUCCCCHHH!!!) Confirmed ''Volcano's'' liquidation of Mick Jackson's cinematic career; he didn't take another directing job on a movie released in the cinema circuit for 14 years. This is one of the biggest bombs in history percentage-wise, alongside Don Bluth's ''A Troll In Central Park''; it was only released in '''two''' theaters, and the writer of the book it's based on, Po Bronson, never dealt with Hollywood again, though he became a columnist for ''Time'' online. Thankfully for co-writer Jon Favreau, his career only went up from here.
* ''Film/FiveDaysOneSummer'' (1982) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $199,078. This was the last film Creator/FredZinnemann ever directed until his death in 1997.
* ''Film/The5000FingersOfDrT'' (1953) -- Budget $2.75 million. Box office, $1 million. A combination of the film's trouble production and horrible critical and financial reception scared Seuss out of the film industry for life (though he did later have some success in television).
* ''Film/FlagsOfOurFathers'' (2006) -- Budget $90 million. Box office, $65,900,249.
* ''Film/{{Flakes}}'' (2007) -- Box office, $778. No, that's ''not'' a typo. Flakes was only open in '''one''' theater, and closed after '''nine''' days. Unsurprisingly, this is director Michael Lehmann's final theatrical work.
* ''Film/{{Flash Gordon|1980}}'' (1980) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,107,960 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff at least $50 million (worldwide)]]. It was a hit internationally and fared very well with critics, but [[StillbornFranchise plans for a film trilogy never went through]] after performing just OK in the United States box office. Became a CultClassic and future film villains, including ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'s'' Jafar, were based off this movie's BigBad. A remake is on the Hollywood docket.
* ''Film/{{Fled}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $17,193,231.
* ''Film/FleshAndBlood'' (1985) -- Budget, $6.5 million. Box office, $100,000 (domestic). This was the last time screenwriter Gerard Soeteman worked with director Creator/PaulVerhoeven for 20 years; while Verhoeven moved on to Hollywood and did ''Film/RoboCop1987'', Soeteman stayed low-key.
* ''Film/FlightOfTheIntruder'' (1991) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $14,587,732. One of two films during this time, the other being ''Farewell to the King'', that [[CreatorKiller grounded]] the directing career of John Milius, but he's still a major Hollywood player.
* ''Film/{{The Flight of the Phoenix|2004}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $34,586,264.
* ''Film/TheFlintstonesInVivaRockVegas'' (2000) -- Budget, $83 million. Box office, $59,468,275. Had the misfortune of going through DevelopmentHell that resulted in the [[Film/TheFlintstones original film]]'s cast leaving and the crew having to restart from scratch. Releasing it at a time when Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons had long lost the public's interest didn't help anything. The only theatrical film based on a Hanna-Barbera property released since then (excepting ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' and its sequel, [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo the franchise itself]] being perhaps the sole Hanna-Barbera franchise that hasn't gone out of mainstream vogue of 2010's) is the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Film/YogiBear'', though Warner Bros. has plans for a cinematic Hanna-Barbera 2D animated SharedUniverse in 2018 starting with (who else?) Scooby-Doo.
* ''The Flock'' (2007) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $7,119,846. Did some pretty severe damage to the careers of co-producer Elie Samaha and director Andrew Lau, the latter of whom has virtually stuck to Chinese movies since.
* ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' (2006) -- Budget, $149 million. Box office, $64,488,856 (domestic), $176,319,242. This movie flushed $109 million of [=DreamWorks=] Animation's money down the toilet and permanently drowned their partnership with Aardman Animations, who were becoming displeased with DWA by this point.
* ''Film/{{Flyboys}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $17,834,865. Director Tony Bill and co-screenwriter David S. Ward have not been involved with another theatrical film since. Producer Dean Devlin would also have no film credits until 2013.
* ''WesternAnimation/FlyMeToTheMoon'' (2008) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $13,816,982 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $41,721,414 (worldwide).]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $45 million (others say $65 million). Box office, $73,706 (cue Wipeout scream). Its decade-long DevelopmentHell (which included someone stealing the discs with completed animation and footage), and controversies over its rampant product placements doomed the film from the beginning; it was mostly released DirectToVideo, and one of the production companies behind it, Threshold Entertainment, who mostly does theme park attractions, has yet to announce another cinematic project (it also [[CreatorKiller more or less spoiled the theatrical careers]] of producer/director Lawrence Kasanoff and writer Sean Catherine Derek, the former of whom hadn't really worked since producing ''Film/MortalKombatAnnihilation'').
* ''Film/ForLoveOrMoney'' (1993) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $11,146,270.
* ''Film/ForLoveOfTheGame'' (1999) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $46.1 million.
* ''For Richer or Poorer'' (1997) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $32,748,995. One of two 1997 films that smashed the cinematic directing career of Bryan Spicer; ''[=McHale=]'s Navy'' is the other.
* ''For the Boys'' (1991) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $23,202,444. It didn't help that the whole world was waiting in line to see ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' that same day.
* ''Film/TheFountain'' (2006) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $15,978,422.
* ''Film/TheFourFeathers'' (2002) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,882,645.
* ''Film/FourHorsemenOfTheApocalypse'' (1962) -- Budget, $7.1 million. Box office, $4.1 million. By modern inflation rates, that's over $22 million in losses. This film's failure was part of what caused MGM's financial issues in the early sixties, and what eventually led to an overhaul in staff, including then-president Joseph Vogel getting replaced by Robert O'Brien.
* ''Film/FourRooms'' (1995) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $4,257,354.
* ''Film/TheFourthWar'' (1990) -- Budget, $14.5 million. Box office, $1,305,887.
* ''Foxfire'' (1996) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $269,300.
* ''Film/FrankensteinUnbound'' (1990) -- Budget, $11.5 million. Box office, $334,748.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $39 million. Box office, $35,291,068 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $81,491,068 (worldwide).]]
* ''Film/FrankieAndJohnnyAreMarried'' (2003) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $22,900. No that's not a typo, the film played in only four theaters over five weekends. The third and final strike for Michael Pressman's film directing career though he remains in demand for television work.
* ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' (1932) -- Budget, $316,000-$350,000. Box office, Unknown. This controversial pre-Hays Code horror film recorded a loss of $164,000, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. The film's plot and then-notorious characters, who were deformed and led by a character who intended on murder, caused audiences to storm out of screenings and got this film banned from theaters before it could complete its cinematic run; this is the only MGM film to be ripped out of theaters. This mess disemboweled the career of director Tod Browning, turned the movie into an OldShame for one of its actors, Angelo Rossitto, led to the original cut of the film being presumably [[MissingEpisode missing]], and got MGM sued by a woman who claimed the movie made her miscarry. Eventually became a CultClassic and the current edited version now sports a 93 on RottenTomatoes.
* ''Film/{{Freaked}}'' (1993) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $29,296.
* ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'' (2001) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $14,254,993 (domestic), $14,333,252 (worldwide). This infamous film was ruthlessly panned by critics for [[PaedoHunt its]] [[{{Squick}} take]] [[BestialityIsDepraved on]] [[BloodyHilarious comedy]] [[BlackComedyRape scenes.]] The film itself was edited down to get an R rating, and ''[[Series/SiskelAndEbert Ebert & Roeper's]]'' comments basically said that it STILL should have received an NC-17 despite the edits (Ebert accused the MPAA of being "morally adrift" and added the movie to his [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList most hated film list later]]). ''Freddy Got Fingered'' murdered Tom Green and Derek Harvie's theatrical careers before they could get started. [[VindicatedByVideo The film DID sell well on DVD, however.]]
* ''Film/FreeStateOfJones'' (2016) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $20,810,036. One of the victims of what Roger Friedman's Showbiz 411 website is calling the "Summer Bomb Buster", being released in the wake of a multitude of failed high-budget tentpoles; this one was overshadowed by ''Disney/FindingDory'', ''Film/TheConjuring2'', ''Film/IndependenceDayResurgence'', ''Film/TheBFG'', and ''Film/TheLegendOfTarzan'' (the latter three of which also underperformed).
* ''Film/{{Freedomland}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $37.7 million. Box office, $14,655,626. This movie's failure imprisoned mega-producer Joe Roth's directing career; he's stuck to being a producer since and has not directed another theatrical film.
* ''Film/{{Freejack}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $17,129,026.
* ''Film/{{Freeway}}'' (1996) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $295,493.
* ''Film/FreshHorses'' (1988) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $6,640,346. One of a handful of 1988/1989 films that caused the Weintraub Entertainment Group to implode right out of the gates, and one of the movies that ended Coca-Cola's control over Columbia and caused their merger with Tristar and Sony.
* ''Film/FrightNight2011'' -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $18,302,607 (domestic), $41,002,607 (worldwide).
* ''Film/FromJustinToKelly'' (2003) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $4.9 million. Aside from [[StarDerailingRole just about killing Justin Guarini's reputation]], the film's failure ensured the impossibility of future ''Series/AmericanIdol'' movies.
* ''From the Hip'' (1987) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $9,518,342.
* ''Film/FromParisWithLove'' (2010) -- Budget, $52 million. Box office, $24,077,427 (domestic), $52,826,594 (worldwide).
* ''Film/FrozenAssets'' (1992) -- Budget, Unknown, but... Box office, $376,008 (domestic).
* ''Film/FunSize'' (2012) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $10.9 million. The lowest-grossing movie released by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} so far.
* ''Film/TheFuneral'' (1996) -- Budget, $12.5 million. Box office, $1,306,233.
* ''Film/FunnyGames'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $7,938,872.
* ''Film/FunnyPeople'' (2009) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $71,585,235.
* ''Film/FurryVengeance'' (2010) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $36,236,710. This is one of two 2010 bombs that caused Creator/BrendanFraser's career to outright [[StarDerailingRole flatline]] after ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'' put it in the hospital for the decade prior to it. It also turned director Roger Kumble's career into roadkill and proved to be a major setback for producer Robert Simonds.

* ''Film/{{Gamer}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $40,828,540.
* ''Film/GangsterSquad'' (2013) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $46,000,903 (domestic), $105,200,903 (worldwide). This movie was meant to be released in 2012, but the Aurora, Colorado shootings at the Cinemark Century theater during ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' led to it being pushed back. The movie also played the HollywoodHistory card with crime boss Mickey Cohen's life (including him being arrested for murder; he was only arrested on felony tax evasion a la Al Capone). This version of the man was also a YouHaveFailedMe {{Sadist}} along [[Film/JamesBond Ernst Stavro Blofeld lines]] who commits some gruesome executions that were hard to deal with after Aurora, which even reshoots did not deal with. Producer Dan Lin's future theatrical films, with one exception, deal exclusively with the Lego franchise, writer Will Beall would not get another screen credit until the future ''Aquaman'' movie in the DC Extended Universe, and Ruben Fleischer's directing career has been in DevelopmentHell since.
* ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' (1987) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $1,576,615. Parental protests over the film's RefugeInVulgarity [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids after it received a PG rating]] led to it being pulled from theaters within weeks of its release. The notorious film became an instant OldShame for both the creator of the source material, Mark Newgarden, and prolific voice actor Creator/JimCummings, who voiced several of the titular kids, and [[StarDerailingRole trashed the careers of songwriter/actor Anthony Newley]] [[CreatorKiller and director Rod Amateau,]] as Newley never appeared in another theatrically released film, and Amateau only worked on one more film, 1988's ''Film/{{Sunset}}'', before disappearing from the entertainment industry completely. [[FranchiseKiller The movie also killed mainstream interest in the trading card game that the film was based on]] until ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who is now the copyright holder of said card game, announced a reboot in 2012, only to cancel it in 2013.
* ''[[Film/{{Garfield}} Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties]]'' (2006) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $28,426,747 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $141,702,264 (worldwide)]]. Sent the live-action movies based off of the iconic [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} comic strip]] to the vet [[FranchiseKiller to be euthanized]] after two films, with a third movie that does not have continuity with the first two being a CGI cartoon and one-sixth of the budget being released the next year. After that, all future ''Garfield'' movies went DirectToVideo. Both films became an OldShame to the actor who voiced the feline, Creator/BillMurray [[note]] He only signed on because one of the writers, Joel Cohen, has a name that sounds like [[Creator/TheCoenBrothers Joel Coen]]; this was lampshaded by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic when he reviewed the first film [[/note]], and it was a theatrical StarDerailingRole for Breckin Meyer, who played Garfield's owner, as his future movies are not high-profile (Meyer is not any fonder of the movies than Murray is, making fun of himself for it on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'').
* ''Film/AGatheringOfEagles'' (1963) -- Budget $3,346,500. Box office, $2,500,000. Not even Creator/RockHudson could save this film about a bomber wing of the Strategic Air Command (responsible for nuclear bomb armed B-52 bombers at the time). The makers misjudged the changing perception of the US military and the potential use of nuclear weapons in the early 1960s - later TheSixties anti-war and anti-nuclear weapon films such as ''Film/DrStrangelove'' and ''Film/FailSafe'' would get a far better response critically and commercially.
* ''Film/GeronimoAnAmericanLegend'' (1993) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $18,635,620. Director Walter Hill had some misgivings about how this movie turned out, and it dented his career along with Neil Canton and writer John Milius's careers.
* ''Film/{{Gerry}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $3.5 million. Box office, head's up, $254,683. This movie was a failed attempt at making a movie solely by WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants, with Wikipedia noting it had a slow pace and unvarying set pieces. This helped derail Casey Affleck's career for several years
* ''Film/GetCarter'' (2000) -- Budget, $63.6 million. Box office, $19,412,993. A botched remake of a 1971 film. Director Stephen Kay didn't direct again for 5 years, and it was a critical setback to the careers of the producer brothers Canton.
* ''Film/{{Getaway}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $10,501,938. This is the third and most recent film on director Courtney Solomon's resume, and he has no directing credits past this point. Production company Dark Castle's business has also been in the dark since; they don't have any credits past this point period.
* ''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'' (1994) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $18,869,594. Coming out the same weekend as ''Disney/TheLionKing'' didn't help either. Along with ''Film/RichieRich'' and ''Film/ThePagemaster'', one of three Creator/MacaulayCulkin films that performed poorly at the box office that year. He did not appear in another feature film until 2003. This and the very negative critical reception to two other 1994 films from co-writer Jim Jennewein, ''Film/TheFlintstones'' (which was a financial success) and ''Major League II'', led to Jennewein never writing another film, and this movie led producer Katie Jacobs to focus on television instead.
* ''Film/GhostDad'' (1990) -- Budget unknown. Box office, $25,421,633. Fresh off ''Film/LeonardPart6'', apparently Creator/BillCosby decided to give the big screen one more try...in a movie where he plays a widower who apparently dies, realizes he hadn't arranged for life insurance for his kids and tries to close a deal to secure money to provide for them. The movie would get disastrous reviews, end any hope of Cosby having a film career and [[CreatorKiller marked the final directing job]] for Creator/SidneyPoitier.
* ''Film/GhostRiderSpiritOfVengeance'' (2012) -- Budget, $57 million. Box office, $51,774,002 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $132,563,930 (worldwide)]]. While it was able to somewhat recuperate its budget, its worldwide gross is less than half of what the first ''Film/GhostRider'' movie made worldwide. Because of the movie's failure, the film rights for ComicBook/GhostRider were regained by Marvel, who rebooted the character for the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse in Season 4 of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''; this sent the Marvel Knights label to Hades after only two releases, the other being ''Film/PunisherWarZone'', whose title character's film rights too reverted to Marvel.
* ''Film/GhostTown'' (2008) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $13,252,641 (domestic), $29,843,245 (worldwide).
* ''Film/GhostsOfMars'' (2001) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $14,010,832. The film was sent to Mars by critics, and it [[CreatorKiller knifed the career]] of Creator/JohnCarpenter after a decade-long string of flops; he did not direct another movie until 2010.
* ''Film/GhostsOfMississippi'' (1996) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $13,323,411.
* ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|2016}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $144 million (not counting marketing costs), $244 million (including them). Box office, $128,350,574 (domestic), $229,147,509 (worldwide). Plans for a third movie in the ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' franchise suffered through a long DevelopmentHell that saw it outlive original cast member Creator/HaroldRamis (partially thanks to Ramis's feud with co-star Creator/BillMurray), being OvershadowedByControversy (the ContinuityReboot and DistaffCounterpart nature of the third film sparked heated discussion that often veered into political territory, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement which we won't go into]]; the film's Trivia and YMMV pages are locked for these reasons), [[TaintedByThePreview underwhelming trailers]] that became the ''[[MedalOfDishonor most disliked]]'' in the history of Website/{{YouTube}}, and the fact that it was BannedInChina, which has one of the world's largest film audiences, due to their government censoring references to the supernatural, topped by {{trolls}} making death threats towards its stars on Twitter, among them Leslie Jones whose website was hacked by fans who thought she came across as an EthnicScrappy. The 2016 ''Ghostbusters'' ultimately released to fairly positive reviews but weak performance in theaters. It was released a week after Universal's modestly acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets'', which it never outperformed, before ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'', ''Film/JasonBourne'', and ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'' released in the following respective weeks and hammered it further. Box office analysts anticipated a [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ghostbusters-heading-70m-loss-sequel-918515 $70 million loss]] for Sony following its release (though Sony disputed that claim, insisting that merchandising sales and licensing would help offset the loss), and it helped towards a [[http://www.reuters.com/article/us-sony-outlook-idUSKBN15E0NN billion-dollar writedown for Sony]].
* ''Film/{{Gigli}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $54–74 million. Box office, $7,266,209. Suffered from ExecutiveMeddling that shifted the focus from the crime-comedy elements to the "Creator/{{Ben|Affleck}}[[Music/JenniferLopez nifer]]" romance; it also [[StarDerailingRole derailed their movie careers for a while]] along with derailing their relationship AND director Martin Brest's career.
* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' (2009) -- Budget, $175 million. Box office, $150,201,498 (domestic), $302,469,017 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheGingerbreadMan'' (1998) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $1,677,131.
* ''Girl 6'' (1996) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $4,939,939.
* ''Film/GirlInterrupted'' (1999) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $28,912,646 (domestic), $48,350,205 (worldwide). Though Creator/AngelinaJolie won an Oscar for this movie, the writers weren't nearly as lucky. One of them, James Mangold (who is also the director and one of the producers), only wrote two more movies before sticking with the director and producer job, another, Anna Hamilton Phelan, didn't have another screen credit for 10 years, and the third, playwright Lisa Loomer, withdrew from Hollywood and stuck with plays altogether.
* ''Film/TheGlassHouse'' (2001) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $18,150,259 (domestic), $23,619,609 (worldwide). Opening it three days after the September 11th attacks certainly didn't help its prospects, plus September was already one of the DumpMonths. It did sell well enough on home video to spawn a direct-to-video sequel.
* ''Film/GlengarryGlenRoss'' (1992) -- Budget, $12.5 million. Box office, $10.7 million (domestic).
* ''Film/TheGlimmerMan'' (1996) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $20,351,264.
* ''Film/{{Glitter}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $5,271,666. This film's failure, along with that of the accompanying soundtrack album, sent Music/MariahCarey's career [[StarDerailingRole into recession]] for several years. Being released the weekend after 9/11 (in what was already [[DumpMonths a traditionally poor month]]) couldn't have helped either.
* ''Film/{{Gloria}}'' (1999) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $4,197,729.
* ''Go Now'' (1998) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $25,695. Did not get out of a limited release in the States and Britain, and ultimately became a TV movie.
* ''Goal!'' (2005) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $27.6 million. Got mixed reviews and earned director Danny Cannon a red card for theatrical releases; he's stayed in a successful television career since. It's also one of the last flops from Disney, who distributed this thru Touchstone, that led to CEO Michael Eisner getting ejected from the company by the fall. This film's financial failure didn't stop a trilogy from being made, but the third installment in this trilogy went DirectToVideo.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords]]'' (1986) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1,338,264. Along with an animated series, ''[=GoBots=]'' [[DuelingShows attempted to cash in]] [[FollowTheLeader on the success of the]] ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' toy line and adaptations. [[ForegoneConclusion It didn't go over so well]] as ''Battle of the Rock Lords'' led to [[FranchiseKiller the end of GoBots]].
* ''Film/GodsAndGenerals'' (2003) -- Budget, $56 million. Box office, $12,923,936.
* ''Film/GodsAndMonsters'' (1998) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $6,451,628 (domestic).
* ''Film/GodsOfEgypt'' (2016) -- Budget, $140 million (not counting marketing costs), approx. $170 million (counting them). Box office, $31,153,464 (domestic), $150,680,864 (worldwide). The film received damning reviews on release (the Website/RottenTomatoes critic consensus reads, "Look on ''Gods of Egypt'', ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to [[Creator/PercyByssheShelley Shelley]].)" It currently has a 16% with critics on the site. This prompted a backlash from the director of the film, Creator/AlexProyas. It had a poor first week against ''Film/Deadpool2016'', and the next week saw the release of a second Creator/GerardButler film, ''Film/LondonHasFallen'' (which also didn't fare very well with critics), and Disney's instant classic ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' (it had a perfect 100% on RT prior to release; ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' is the only DisneyAnimatedCanon classic that has that rating on the site), the latter of which mauled both movies at the box office. It remains to be seen if the failure of both ''Gods of Egypt'' and ''London Has Fallen'' will send Butler's career [[StarDerailingRole to the Underworld]].
* ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' (1985) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $4,116,395. With the exception of [[Film/Godzilla1998 the disowned 1998 American film]], ''Godzilla'' wouldn't return to American theaters until ''Film/Godzilla2000'' in 2000.
** ''Film/Godzilla2000'' (2000) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $12,924,063. While it didn't make back a lot of money, it still [[WinBackTheCrowd succeeded in bringing back American interest in Godzilla once again.]]
* ''Going All The Way'' (1997) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $113,069. This is the last time novelist Dan Wakefield attempted to write a screenplay.
* ''Film/GoingTheDistance'' (2010) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $17,804,299 (domestic), $42,052,757 (worldwide).
* ''The Golden Bowl'' (2001) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $5,753,678.
* ''Film/TheGoldenChild'' (1986) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $79,817,937. Yes, distributor Paramount DID consider this a box office disappointment for the same reasons as ''Harlem Nights'' (see below): it made nowhere near as much money as the previous film to star Eddie Murphy, ''Film/BeverlyHillsCop''. Paramount was also having trouble with losing studio bosses Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg to Walt Disney Productions, and ''The Golden Child'', in contrast to this movie's original director John Carpenter's eventual take on Fantasy China, ''Big Trouble In Little China'' (which has three major actors from this film), was badly panned by critics. Murphy has also more or less [[OldShame disowned this film]].
* ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'' (2007) -- Budget, $180 million. Box office, $70 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $372,234,864 (internationally)]]. Unfortunately, Creator/NewLineCinema had sold off the international distribution rights in order to raise enough money for the film's production, meaning that they only got the domestic gross, and never saw a penny of the international box office. As a result, [[CreatorKiller New Line was absorbed into]] Creator/WarnerBros soon after. [[StillbornFranchise Plans for the remainder of the book series eventually disappeared]], leaving this film's ending to become an [[LeftHanging unintentional]] perpetual {{Cliffhanger}} and turning the whole experience into an OldShame for director Chris Weitz thanks to ExecutiveMeddling.
* ''Film/GoneFishin'' (1997) -- Budget, $53 million. Box office, $19,736,932. A tremendously TroubledProduction, the movie suffered various delays, confused marketing (Disney couldn't entirely figure out whether to market it to older kids or adults), and a stuntwoman's death during filming. Disney sent it out to die against ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'', and director Christopher Cain didn't work on another theatrical film until his most recent project, ''September Dawn'', ten years later.
* ''Film/GoneInSixtySeconds2000'' -- Budget, $103.3 million (not counting marketing costs), $170.7 million (counting them). Box office, $101,648,571 (domestic), $237,202,299 (worldwide). Disney took a roughly $90 million loss on the film, but it did better on home video.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'' (2015) -- Budget, $200 million (not counting marketing costs), $350 million (counting them). Box office, $123,041,005 (domestic), $325,441,005 (worldwide). This Creator/{{Pixar}} film suffered from rampant [[ExecutiveMeddling micromanagement at Disney]]. The story went through dozens of rewrites, film staff departures, and eventually the entire voice cast got replaced after all of their parts had been recorded. The film was dumped for the Thanksgiving weekend, opening at a weak $39 million and behind ''Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay Part 2'', then any chance of the film making a profit domestically was dashed with the release of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' just a month later, making it Pixar's first-ever box office bomb in its history (the basic concept of this film had also been done twice before, with Creator/StevenSpielberg[=/=]Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' in 1988 and Disney's own ''Disney/{{Dinosaur}}'' film in 2000).
* ''Film/TheGoodGerman'' (2006) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $5,914,908.
* ''Film/AGoodManInAfrica'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $2,308,390. Writer William Boyd didn't write another screenplay for 5 years, and the film's production turned it into an OldShame for director Bruce Beresford, who had a considerable amount of [[CreatorBacklash disdain]] for it and considers it the worst project he's been involved with.
* ''Film/TheGoodMother'' (1988) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $4,764,606.
* ''Film/TheGoodShepherd'' (2006) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $59,952,835 (domestic), $99,480,480 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheGoodThief'' (2003) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $6,460,758.
* ''Film/GoodTimes'' (1967) -- Budget, $1,115,000. Box office, $600,000 (rentals, domestic), $800,000 (worldwide). This was sold to distributor Columbia prior to showtime, which earned producer Steve Broidy a profit despite being a failure. ABC wasn't so lucky to the tune of $1,050,000.
* ''Film/AGoodYear'' (2006) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $7,459,300 (domestic), $42,064,105 (worldwide).
* ''Film/GoodbyeLover'' (1999) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $1,940,299.
* ''Film/GoyasGhosts'' (2006) -- Budget, $51 million. Box office, $9,448,082. This is the most recent film that Milos Forman has directed or written.
* ''Grace Of My Heart'' (1996) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $660,313. This had to [[DuelingMovies confront]] Creator/TomHanks's directoral debut, ''Film/ThatThingYouDo'', which, like ''Grace Of My Heart'', focused on the early to mid 60's pop music scene. Director Allison Anders took a 3 year hiatus from writing and directing.
* ''Grandma's Boy'' (2006) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $6.6 million. Immediately sentenced director Nicholaus Goossen to the C-list. He only directed another Happy Madison film in 2009, didn't work for another 5 years, and has stuck to television and shorts since.
* ''Grandview, U.S.A.'' (1984) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $4,743,119.
* ''Graffiti Bridge'' (1990) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $4.2 million. The film killed off any hope of Music/{{Prince}} appearing on the big screen ever again. Also probably one of the turning points which became the foundation for Prince's feud with Warner Bros. in the mid-90s.
* ''Film/{{Grease 2}}'' (1982) -- Budget, $11.3 million. Box office, $15.1 million. The film's failure [[FranchiseKiller killed off plans for a third movie]].
* ''Film/TheGreatRaid'' (2005) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $10,769,311.
* ''Film/TheGreatestStoryEverTold'' (1965) -- Budget, $21 million. Box office, less than $8 million by 1983, $15,473,333 (current total). This film's flopping, due in no small part to a long length, discouraged any more biblical epics for a while, and it sadly sent the careers of producer/director George Stevens and actress Dorothy [=McGuire=] [[CreatorKiller to Hell.]] [=McGurie=]'s career took a hiatus for six years, and Stevens only made one more film in 1970.
* ''Greedy'' (1994) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $13,137,484.
* ''Film/GreenLantern'' (2011) -- Budget, $225 million (plus another $100 million for marketing). Box office, $219,851,172. Creator/WarnerBros wanted this to be their big new superhero trilogy, but combined with generally negative reviews and poor box office numbers, this appears to be a StillbornFranchise (though there are still plans to have Green Lantern in the ''Film/JusticeLeague'' film; it also hasn't discouraged star Ryan Reynolds from taking the role of another comic book character, ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'', five years later, which was a project he had personally been involved with for years and included him making a TakeThat to ''Green Lantern''). It also sent director Martin Campbell's career into a pit for years; he has mostly focused on TV, and it would be four years before he got attached to another cinematic project, when he was tapped for a Creator/JackieChan[=/=]Creator/PierceBrosnan project (Campbell's the man responsible for Brosnan's Grand Premiere ''Film/JamesBond'' film, ''Film/{{GoldenEye}}'', along with Creator/DanielCraig's Grand Premiere Bond film, ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'').
* ''Film/GreenZone'' (2010) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $94,882,549.
* ''Film/GreyOwl'' (1999) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $632,617. (Wow). The semi-final film to date to involve Allied Filmmakers.
* ''Gridlock'd'' (1997) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $5,571,205. One of the last two films Tupac Shakur starred in, being released after he was murdered in Las Vegas the year before. Director Vondie Curtis-Hall did not direct another major film for 4 years, and co-producer Paul Webster didn't take a non-executive producer role on a movie for 3.
* ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $67 million. Box office, $25,422,088. A rare film in that it was [[MorePopularSpinoff outperformed by]] [[Film/{{Machete}} its]] [[Film/HoboWithAShotgun spinoffs]].
* ''Film/GrossAnatomy'' (1989) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $11,604,598. The failure to [[IncrediblyLamePun gross]] back its budget inflicted a bit of an injury on the career of ''Full Metal Jacket'' alumni Matthew Modine, though he continued to find work. Disney, who released this thru Touchstone, would recover recover with ''The Little Mermaid'' from their animation department the next month; ''Gross Anatomy'' didn't harm their year much.
* ''Film/GrudgeMatch'' (2013) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $29,807,260 (domestic), $44,907,260 (worldwide).
* ''Film/GulliversTravels2010'' -- Budget, $112 million. Box office, $42,779,261 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $237,382,724 (worldwide)]] and really put a dent in Creator/JackBlack's mainstream career.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}: The Movie'' (1995) -- Budget, $2.8 million. Box office, $57,100. The cinematic adaptation of ''The Gumby Show'' never escaped a limited release when it was squashed by critics, and it subsequently squashed helmer Art Clokey's career and future new ''Gumby'' material as well; the series has remained visible due to reruns, but attempts to revive the franchise with new shows fell victim to DevelopmentHell.
* ''Film/TheGunInBettyLousHandbag'' (1992) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $3,721,911.
* ''Film/TheGunman'' (2015) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $10,664,749.
* ''Guy'' (1997) -- Budget, Unknown, but... Box office, just $4,134.
* ''Film/AGuyThing'' (2003) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $17,432,163.
* ''Film/{{Hackers}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7,563,728.
* ''Film/HalfPastDead'' (2002) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $19,233,280. Yet another deadly whack to Steven Seagal's fading career, and the most severe one yet. Seagal would not star in another major movie until 2010's ''Film/{{Machete}},'' and ''Half Past Dead's'' failure sentenced the sequel, which did not feature Steven Seagal, to Direct-to-DVD.
* ''Film/HandsOfStone'' (2016) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $5 million (domestic so far).
* ''Film/HangingUp'' (2000) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $51,880,044. The film served as Creator/WalterMatthau's last feature, as he died a few months after its release, and director Nora Ephron didn't work another film for 5 years.
* ''Film/TheHappiestMillionaire'' (1967) -- Budget '''and''' Box office, $5 million. Would have lost money for marketing expenses. This is the final movie Walt Disney was personally involved in.
* ''WesternAnimation/HappilyEverAfter'' (1990, 1993) -- Budget, Unknown, but there was a $10 million marketing campaign included from distributor First National Film Corp. Box office, $3,229,382. This project was created to try to keep Filmation afloat, and when they attempted to create a direct sequel to Walt Disney's Timeless Classic ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' along with ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' without Disney's approval, the Mouse House immediately descended on them with a lawsuit, forcing them to change things to put distance between it and Disney. The film opened in France in 1990, but the legal hotfoot kept it out of American cinemas until 1993, when Filmation released it around the same time as the last theatrical ''Snow White'' reissue before that film's VHS [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo premiere]] as the starting Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection title. ''Happily Ever After'' was blasted by critics and bombed, becoming the last straw that bankrupted both Filmation and First National Films; this movie was dropped from the radar right afterwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/HappilyNEverAfter'' (2007) -- Budget, $47 million. Box office, $15,589,393 (domestic), $38,085,778 (worldwide). Coming off the heels of other "Fractured Fairy Tale" movies such as the ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' franchise, this film was dumped on by critics (it has one of THE lowest RottenTomatoes scores for any animated film), who [[SerialNumbersFiledOff accused]] it of [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks being]] a [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks ripoff]]. This film's failure put an animation curse on production company Vanguard Animation and Lionsgate that really hasn't gone away, with ''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth'' being Lionsgate's latest animated implosion, and sent a sequel to this specific movie DirectToVideo (producer John H. Williams, who is part of both this and the ''Shrek'' series, has still fared well).
* ''Happiness'' (1998) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $2,807,390. Hasn't dented the independent filmmaker Todd Solondz much.
* ''WesternAnimation/HappyFeetTwo'' (2011) -- Budget, $135 million. Box office, $64,006,466 (domestic), $150,406,466 (worldwide). This lost Warner $40 million and convinced them to put director Creator/GeorgeMiller's Dr. D studio on ice in favor of reopening the in-house animation department they closed following ''Looney Tunes: Back in Action'', which led to ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie''. This also convinced Miller himself to refocus on his bigger ''[[Film/MadMaxFuryRoad Mad Max]]'' project and stop with family movies, which led to that movie being a triumphant return to heavy action for Miller after 3 decades. ''Happy Feet's'' box office failure would put the franchise [[FranchiseKiller on ice]] after two films.
* ''Film/HardEight'' (1997) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $222,559.
* ''Film/HardRain'' (1998) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $19,870,567.
* ''Film/HarlemNights'' (1989) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $60,864,870 (domestic), $95,900,000 (worldwide). This was a technically profitable, but Creator/{{Paramount}} still considered it a box office disappointment due to the movie only grossing half the money Creator/EddieMurphy's previous films made, as well as opening the same day as Disney's ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid.'' In a grim addition, several theaters in Detroit and California became settings for a few shootings [[note]] much like the ones in 2012 for ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' in Aurora, Colorado and several more in 2015 at showings of ''Film/{{Trainwreck}}'' and ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' around the time Aurora shooter James Holmes was convicted [[/note]] that resulted in the AMC theater chain banning any further ''Harlem Nights'' showings and a riot to erupt in Richmond following the shooting death of Marcel Thompson, 27, when that showing was canned. This whole mess knocked Eddie Murphy into the B list of stars until ''Film/TheNuttyProfessor'' in 1996.
* ''Film/HarleyDavidsonAndTheMarlboroMan'' (1991) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $7,018,525.
* ''Film/HarryBrown'' (2010) -- Budget, $7.3 million. Box office, $1,818,681 (domestic), $10,329,747 (worldwide).
* ''Harry & Son'' (1984) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4,864,980. Paul Newman didn't assume a producer's role for another 20 years. It was also a '''live-action''' StarDerailingRole for Robby Benson, who instead became known for being the voice of the Beast in Disney's ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' 7 years later.
* ''Hart's War'' (2002) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $33,076,815.
* ''Haunted Honeymoon'' (1986) -- Budget, $13 million, Box office, $8,033,397. This was Gilda Radner's final film role before her death in 1989, and it started the short string of movies that led to the complete crash of her husband Gene Wilder's film career (it's also the last time he took the director's megaphone).
* ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'' (2003) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $75,847,266 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $182,290,266 (worldwide).]] One of a handful of failed theme park attractions-to-movie adaptations from The Walt Disney Company, and part of a bad streak for star Creator/EddieMurphy. This was offset by ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl'' earlier that year, but it's still the prelude to a brutal series of bombs for Disney in 2004 that, along with revolts from shareholders and Pixar, ultimately derailed boss Michael Eisner's career with the firm. A remake is supposedly being worked on. Director Creator/RobMinkoff, one of the co-directors of ''Disney/TheLionKing'', didn't direct again until Jackie Chan's ''Film/TheForbiddenKingdom'' 5 years later, and co-producer Don Hahn, who also produced ''The Lion King'' and ''Beauty and the Beast'', stuck to shorts and documentaries for Disney until ''Film/{{Frankenweenie}}'' in 2012.
* ''Film/{{Havana}}'' (1990) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $9,243,140. This film's failure served as the final collaboration between star Creator/RobertRedford and director Creator/SydneyPollack.
* ''Film/{{Haywire}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $23 million. Box office, $18,942,396 (domestic), $33,372,606 (worldwide).
* ''{{Film/Head}}'' (1968)--Budget, $750,000. Box office, unknown but almost certainly under $100,000 [[note]]The often-quoted $16,111 was actually [[http://sotcaa.org/head/head_hype01.html the combined gross after its first five days]] in two New York theaters[[/note]]. Franchise/TheMonkees try their hand at the big screen. The combination of the band being considered past their prime after their TV series was canceled, plus the bizarre MindScrew of a film that director Bob Rafelson and co-writer Creator/JackNicholson put together led to Creator/ColumbiaPictures burying the movie. It played in a handful of big city theaters at the end of 1968, went on the drive-in circuit after that, and was forgotten afterwards, but has since become a CultClassic.
* ''Head in the Clouds'' (2004) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $3,510,605. This film sent John Duigan's directing career to Heaven for 8 years.
* ''Film/{{Heartbeeps}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $2.1 million. The film's failure killed any chances of Andy Kaufman doing a Tony Clifton movie. ''Heartbeeps'', along with the financial underscores of ''Film/PenniesFromHeaven'' and ''Film/{{Annie|1982}}'', junked Bernadette Peters's movie career as well. She wouldn't be in another movie until 1989.
* ''Heartbreak Hotel'' (1988) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $5.5 million. Even with ''18 Again!'' released the same year, this movie about a teenager kidnapping Music/ElvisPresley was a StarDerailingRole for Charlie Schlatter, who mostly became a voice actor within 10 years.
* ''[[Film/TheHeartbreakKid2007 The Heartbreak Kid]]'' (2007) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $36,787,257 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $127,766,650 (worldwide)]]. It would be 4 years before the brothers Farrelly, who directed the movie, and Leslie Dixon, one of the writers, would have another screen credit.
* ''Film/HeartsInAtlantis'' (2001) -- Budget, $31 million. Box office, $30,919,415. This film falling just over $80,000 short of its original budget and getting exactly 50/50 reviews from critics sunk director Scott Hicks's career for 6 years, and is the second-to-last film written by William Goldman until the 2010's.
* ''Film/{{Heathers}}'' (1989) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $1,108,462.
* ''Film/HeavenAndEarth'' (1993) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $5,864,949.
* ''Film/HeavensGate'' (1980) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $3,484,331. This film's failure led to [[CreatorKiller the bankruptcy of United Artists, the ruination of director Michael Cimino's career]] and (along with other flops) [[GenreKiller the end of]] [[UsefulNotes/NewHollywood the auteur period in Hollywood]], and became a byword for box office disasters.
* ''Film/HeavensPrisoners'' (1996) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $5,009,305. This sent screenwriter Harley Fenton's career to Heaven for a few years.
* ''Film/{{Heist}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $39 million. Box office, $28,510,652.
* ''Heist'' (2015) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $50,136. Got a handful of poisonous reviews and only got a limited release in theaters, otherwise coming directly to video-on-demand.
* ''Held Up'' (1999) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $4,705,631. Apart from a movie called ''Good Advice'', director Steve Rash's cinematic career was held up in Hollywood Hell until 2012.
* ''Film/{{Hellboy}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $66 million. Box office, $59,623,958 (domestic), $99,318,987 (worldwide). An AcclaimedFlop that managed to have a large following, to the point where a sequel was released four years later.
** ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'' (2008) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $75,986,503 (domestic), $160,388,063 (worldwide). While it made more money than the previous movie, and received [[EvenBetterSequel better reviews]], it still managed to not make back its budget. Creator/GuillermoDelToro wanting to work on other films first, and star Creator/RonPerlman actively campaigning and fighting to make it happen, though the project was later scrapped.
* ''Hell's Kitchen'' (1999) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $11,710.
* ''Theatre/HelloDolly'' (1969) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $26 million (rentals), $33.2 million (box office total). The adaptation of the play cost the film's backers $10 million and, despite faring well at the Academy Awards, signaled the beginning of the end for the live-action musical. The film's financial failure and the critical panning of Creator/GeneKelly's next film ''The Cheyenne Social Club'' were crippling blows to Kelly, who never directed another theatrical film after 1970, and it was part of a string of bombs that crushed the relationship and Fox careers of Darryl Zanuck and son Richard, though Richard became a producer, and led to Fox entering troubled waters until the premiere ''Star Wars'' film. ''Hello Dolly's'' reputation was eventually revived when two major songs from it and a few clips were used as key set pieces in Pixar's masterpiece ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' 40 years later (both of the songs used are also used in the Ride/DisneyThemeParks).
* ''Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII'' (1987) -- Budget, $2 million (estimated). Box office, $2,683,519. Was more of a hit on home video, where it actually turned a profit. Resulted in the next two entries in the ''Prom Night'' franchise going DirectToVideo. Producer Peter Simpson blames this film's failure on the last-minute decision to make it an InNameOnly sequel to ''Film/PromNight1980''.
* ''Film/HereOnEarth'' (2000) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,873,148.
* ''[[Film/AccidentalHero Hero]]'' (1992) -- Budget, $42 million. Box office, $19,507,345 (domestic), $66,507,345 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Hesher}}'' (2010) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $382,946.
* ''Film/HeSaidSheSaid'' (1991) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $9,804,775.
* ''Film/{{Hidalgo}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $40 million (not counting marketing costs), $100 million (counting them). Box office, $67,303,450 (domestic), $108,103,450 (worldwide). One of a handful of flops in 2004 that ultimately helped end Disney CEO Michael Eisner's long run at the company, and a rather bad setback to the career of director Joe Johnston. It would be 6 years before Johnston's next film, ''Film/{{The Wolfman|2010}}'', which would also bomb, but he would fully bounce back with ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', a SpiritualSuccessor to his earlier film ''Film/TheRocketeer'', in 2011.
* ''Film/HighHeelsAndLowLifes'' (2001) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $228,194.
* ''Film/HighSpirits'' (1988) -- Budget, $15.5 million. Box office, $8,578,231.
* ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $12.9 million. This movie became a CultClassic in Europe, which led to...
** ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening'' (1991) -- Budget, $30 million (not counting marketing costs), $34 million (counting them). Box office, $15,556,340. A notorious critical and commercial flop, noted especially for its TroubledProduction and ExecutiveMeddling (the film's director walked out of the premiere 15 minutes in, and one of the writers, Brian Clemens, didn't work on another cinematic movie). This didn't stop a third film from being made, which was...
*** ''Film/HighlanderIIITheSorcerer'' [[note]] Also known as ''Highlander III: The Final Dimension'' and ''Highlander III: The Final Conflict'' [[/note]] (1994) -- Budget, $26,000,000. Box Office, $12,308,080. This installment DID get a better reception, but not by much (it also led to director Andy Morahan remaining with his career in music videos). The series continued 6 years later with...
*** ''Film/HighlanderEndgame'' (2000) -- Budget, $15-$25 million. Box office, $15,843,608. After this movie (which was NotScreenedForCritics after the previous two became critical punching bags that had to be retconned), the fifth installment, ''Film/HighlanderTheSource'', which came out in 2007, never saw the inside of a cinema, instead premiering on the Sci-Fi Channel. This is the one time director Doug Aarniokoski has attempted to direct a theatrical film with a considerable budget. He's stayed in television since apart from ''Nurse 3D''.
* ''Film/HitmanAgent47'' (2015) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $22.5 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $82.3 million (worldwide)]]. A case of VideoGameMoviesSuck and "remakitis", and a failed attempt by Fox to try to offset any radiation from the nuclear fallout of ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'''s critical and financial implosion in the domestic market (Fox did not do themselves any favors by rehiring the writer of the other ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' movie, Skip Woods, to write this one). It did fare better overseas, though. Skip Woods, meanwhile, has yet to make another film.
* ''Film/TheHoax'' (2007) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $11,772,461.
* ''Film/{{Hoffa}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,302,121.
* ''Film/{{Hollywoodland}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $16,803,753.
* ''Hollywood Ending'' (2002) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $14,569,744. There was no Hollywood ending for Creator/WoodyAllen when this bomb rolled into theaters; after it and ''Anything Else'' the next year, he would not do a movie where he took acting, producing AND directing credits again until 2012, though he remained in business during this time.
* ''Film/HollywoodHomicide'' (2003) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $51,142,659.
* ''Film/AHologramForTheKing'' (2016) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $7,744,096.
* ''Holy Man'' (1998) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $12,069,719.
* ''Homefront'' (2013) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $20,158,898 (domestic), $43,058,898 (worldwide).
* ''[[Film/HomeAlone Home Alone 3]]'' (1997) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $30,882,515 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $79,082,515 (worldwide).]] The third installment in the theatrical ''Home Alone'' trilogy had zero connection to the other two with Kevin [=McCallister=] and Harry and Marv, and did not feature Macaulay Culkin since he bolted from Hollywood after a string of critical bombs from ''Film/TheGoodSon'' (where he played an EnfantTerrible) to ''Richie Rich'' (the original plans from the director of the first two films, ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone/Chamber of Secrets/Pixels'' director Chris Columbus, reversed the roles of Kevin and the Wet Bandits and made Kevin the BigBad; this third film, much like the also reviled ''Halloween 3'', uses a new plotline with a stolen computer chip and new characters). This unaffiliated take didn't fare any better with critics not named Roger Ebert than the other films and got a weaker reception from audiences, putting a serious dent in John Hughes's career; Hughes only executive produced two more movies before his death. Two more ''Home Alone'' movies were [[MadeForTVMovie Made-for-TV]] with the first returning to Kevin [=McCallister=], but they still used different actors, though Culkin would reprise the role of Kevin in an internet skit for the original film's 25th anniversary.
* ''Home Fries'' (1998) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,513,979 (domestic). Director Dean Parisot did rebound with ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' two years later, though, which starred one of this film's stars, Daryl Mitchell.
* ''Film/HomeMovies'' (1980) -- Budget, $400,000. Box office, $89,134.
* ''Film/AHomeOfOurOwn'' (1993) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $1,677,807. Director Tony Bill would only do TV movies until 2006.
* ''Disney/HomeOnTheRange'' (2004) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $103,951,461. One of a handful of flops in 2004 that ultimately helped end Disney CEO Michael Eisner's long run at the company, and this one is considered by many to be the finishing blow for the post-Golden Age era called UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, as Disney abandoned its traditional animation department after the film failed, opening the floodgates to UsefulNotes/TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation where CGI animated media began taking over the mainstream. It also [[CreatorKiller impounded]] the careers of director Will Finn and John Sanford; Finn mostly stuck to DirectToVideo media and didn't direct again until 2013, and Sanford didn't appear again at all until [=DreamWorks=]'s second ''Dragons'' cartoon in 2015.
* ''Homegrown'' (1998) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $77,910. Stephen Gyllenhaal's directing career was put under house arrest for 14 years.
* ''Film/TheHoneymooners'' (2005) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $13,183,426.
* ''Honky Tonk Freeway'' (1981) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $2,004,742. This movie was ejected from theaters after only one week. Accusations of stereotyping of American culture and the revelation that the film was funded through a tax avoidance scheme, courtesy of the executive producer, didn't seem to help matters. Many also agree that the film began the erosion of music label EMI's film studio, though some argue that ''Can't Stop the Music'' played an earlier role as well.
* ''Hoodlum'' (1997) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $23,461,013. Director Bill Duke didn't do another theatrically released film for 10 years.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}} Too! Hood vs. Evil'' (2011) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $16,960,968. Essentially the last nail in the "Fractured Fairy Tale" trend's coffin; even Creator/DreamWorksAnimation had toned it down for the fourth ''Shrek'' film that came out the year before, and its spinoff, ''WesternAnimation/PussInBoots'', which also saw its debut in 2011, took a more action-oriented angle. The "Fractured Fairy Tale" trend was replaced by the returning animated musical from the 90's and adventure animation.
* ''Film/{{Hoot}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $8,224,998. According to Box Office Mojo, this movie has the worst opening weekend for any film opening in over 3,000 theaters.
* ''The Horse In The Gray Flannel Suit'' (1968) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $3.3 million.
* ''Literature/TheHost'' (2013) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $64.4 million. The decline in popularity of the author's best known work, ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', likely contributed to this film adaptation's poor performance at the box office.
* ''Hot Pursuit'' (2015) -- Budget, $35,000,000. Box office, $45,680,201. Lost more than $12,000,000.
* ''Film/HotRod'' (2007) -- Budget, $25.3 million. Box office, $14.3 million.
* ''Hot To Trot'' (1988) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $6,436,211. Director Michael Dinner's first and final major movie (he's stuck to television since with one exception), a theatrical StarDerailingRole for noted comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (it also became an OldShame for him when he got a copy of the script in 2011), and a severe halter to entertainment featuring talking horses.
* ''Film/HotTubTimeMachine2'' (2015) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $12.8-13.1 million. This case of {{Sequelitis}} has likely [[FranchiseKiller drained out the]] ''Hot Tub Time Machine'' movies after two pictures.
* ''Hotel'' (2001) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $29,813. In addition to mixed reviews, this film opened in theaters the day after the [[TooSoon/SeptemberEleventh 9/11 attacks]] that destroyed the World Trade Center and about 3,000 lives took place (one of the buildings destroyed at the Trade Center was ironically a Marriott hotel that was Tower #3, making the timing more uncomfortable). This all began the downward trend of ''Film/LeavingLasVegas'' director Mike Figgis's career.
* ''Film/TheHottieAndTheNottie'' (2008) -- Budget, $9,000,000. Box office, $27,696 (domestic),$1,596,232 (worldwide). A stillborn attempt to make Creator/ParisHilton a movie star. It also derailed the careers of a lot of its staff, one of whom, Greg Wilson, got caught in a SerialNumbersFiledOff incident on ''Series/AmericasGotTalent'' years later in a botched attempt to get back to the A list.
* ''Film/{{Hounddog}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $131,961. The film was intended to be a break into more adult material for star Creator/DakotaFanning; its failure delayed this by a couple of years. Most notable for the controversy over a rape scene involving Fanning's character, and the subsequent dismissal by critics of said scene as being pure {{Narm}}.
* ''House Of D'' (2005) -- Budget, $6,000,000. Box office, $388,532. This is the only time Creator/DavidDuchovny attempted to direct and write.
* ''Film/HouseOfTheDead'' (2003) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $13,818,181. This was infamous director Creator/UweBoll's first major American video game film, and he, to the surprise of many a person, [[CreatorBacklash hates this movie and its screenplay, considering it to be the worst film he's done]]; the sequel, which went straight to cable, brought back the person who wrote that screenplay but Boll did not get involved at all with that film (said screenwriter, Mark Altman, never got involved with another film that wasn't low-budget or DirectToVideo). It put a bit of a dent in Creator/{{Sega}}'s endeavors outside the video game market (they wouldn't be serious about another movie based off one of their games until the second half of The New 10's where they inked a deal with Sony for films starring their mascot character Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog) and it's also the third-to-last movie from producer/distributor Artisan Entertainment before they were swallowed by Creator/{{Lionsgate}}.
* ''Film/TheHouseOfTheDevil'' (2009) -- Budget, $900,000. Box office, $101,215. Despite [[AcclaimedFlop acclaim]] from critics and horror fans.
* ''Film/TheHouseOfTheSpirits'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $6,265,311.
* ''Film/TheHouseOfYes'' (1997) -- Budget, $1,500,000. Box office, $626,057. Producer Robert Berger's cinematic career is virtually nonexistent past this film.
* ''Film/TheHouseOnCarrollStreet'' (1988) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $459,824.
* ''Film/HouseOfWax2005'' -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $32,064,800 (domestic), $68,766,121 (worldwide).
* ''How Do You Know'' (2010) -- Budget, $120 million ($100 million net after tax rebates). Box office, $48,668,907. The film served as a StarDerailingRole for Creator/JackNicholson, as he never appeared in another film after 2010 and he would officially retire from acting in 2017, though [[TenMinuteRetirement he later signed on for an American remake of ''Toni Erdmann'' soon after]]. It also dealt serious damage to producer Paula Weinstein, who did not produce another film for 4 years, and James L. Brooks, while still being a producer, has not directed another movie after this one, plus production company Gracie Films (the company behind ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'') did not put out another theatrical film for 6 years.
* ''Film/HowToLoseFriendsAndAlienatePeople'' (2008) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $19,151,797.
* ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' (1986) -- Budget, $37 million. Box office, $37,962,774. Allegedly, two Creator/{{Universal}} executives, Frank Price and Sidney Sheinberg, [[BloodOnTheDebateFloor got into a fistfight]] while arguing over who was to blame for greenlighting the film; both of them deny this. Price's resignation, meanwhile, has been directly attributed to this same movie with the headline ""Duck" Cooks Price's Goose" (Price would resurface at his other major home, Columbia, a little while later). It is also a CareerKiller for husband-and-wife team Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz (they bolted to Hawaii), a major setback to the careers of several of its stars (including Tim Robbins of ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption & Film/MysticRiver'' fame, who got a Razzie nom, though he rebounded with ''Film/BullDurham''), and is one of the few productions Creator/GeorgeLucas has ever admitted [[OldShame regret over]] (this is one of two 1986 films that delivered a setback to his career, with Jim Henson's ''Labyrinth'' being the other). Also, a {{Squick}} scene with [[NonMammalMammaries exposed duck breasts]] early in the movie (which was nicknamed "[[WesternAnimation/{{Ducktales}} DuckTits]]" by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic) and a second with the titular character and a human woman almost having sex led to some backlash due to the film having a PG rating; both it and ''The Garbage Pail Kids Movie'' (a film NC actor Doug Walker also despised) led to further enforcement of the PG-13 rating. And to top it off, this notorious film, along with legal issues from Disney concerning Howard's physical resemblance to WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, kicked Howard into the bottom bracket of Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}'s comic book superstars for the next 30 years in addition to starting Marvel's movie business off on the wrong foot. Thankfully, a combination of a buyout by Disney after they traded dominant positions with DC in the 2000's (meaning no more legal snags between the two ducks), a cameo in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', a new Howard comic series, and ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'' taking the "most infamous movie with Marvel's name on it" title away may mean a turnaround for the duck at last.
* ''Film/HudsonHawk'' (1991) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $17,218,080. Numerous reports on the film's TroubledProduction place the blame on Creator/BruceWillis letting his ego run rampant, causing multiple re-shoots and editing wars. This was the final standalone Tristar Pictures film before they were merged with Columbia.
* ''Film/TheHudsuckerProxy'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $2,816,518.
* ''Film/{{Hugo}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $156 million (not counting marketing costs), $190 million (counting them). Box office, $185,770,160.
* ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $137 million. Box office, $132,177,234 (domestic), $245,360,480 (worldwide). While it debuted to a massive $62 million on its opening weekend domestically, it dropped a legendary 70% on its second weekend due to very poor word-of-mouth, ultimately falling short of its production budget domestically.
** ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' (2008) -- Budget $150 million. Box office, $134,806,913 (domestic), $263,427,551 (worldwide). While the film was slightly better-received than the previous version, it still received a lukewarm reception overall from fans, critics, and audiences, and it failed to make back its budget domestically, the only film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse to have that distinction. It resulted in the Hulk, played by Creator/EdwardNorton in this film, being recast with Creator/MarkRuffalo for future Marvel films after a falling out between Norton and Marvel, and relegated to a supporting role because Disney purchased Marvel as a whole the year after this film's release and Disney's ArchEnemy Universal retains distribution rights for solo Hulk films due to a GrandfatherClause deriving from these two films (the Hulk only appears in team-ups in later Marvel films, which is Disney's way of getting the character past Universal). After this and ''Punisher: War Zone'', producer Gale Anne Hurd has not produced another cinematic movie, and writer Zak Penn didn't do another film until he did the Hulk's next film appearance, ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''.
* ''Film/TheHumanCentipede 3 (Final Sequence)'' (2015) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $14,562. Any ideas of more sequences in the ''Human Centipede'' movie series are unlikely after this attempt.
* ''Film/HumanNature'' (2002) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $705,308.
* ''Film/TheHumanStain'' (2003) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $24,863,804.
* ''Film/TheHunted'' (2003) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $45,496,534.
* ''Film/TheHunters'' (1958) -- Budget, $2,440,000. Box office, $2.1 million. This movie killed off Dick Powell's directing career, though he remained an executive until he died from cancer that he may have received from filming ''The Conqueror'' a few years later. He also ended his relationship with Fox.

* ''How Do You Know'' (2010) -- Budget, $120 million ($100 million net after tax rebates). Box office, $48,668,907. The film served as a StarDerailingRole for Creator/JackNicholson, as he never appeared in another film after 2010 and he would officially retire from acting in 2017, though later retracted it when it was confirmed that he will be starring in an American remake of ''Toni Erdmann'', which could serve as a CareerResurrection. It also dealt serious damage to producer Paula Weinstein, who did not produce another film for 4 years, and James L. Brooks, while still being a producer, has not directed another movie after this one, plus production company Gracie Films (the company behind ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'') did not put out another theatrical film for 6 years.

* ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion'' (2001) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $18,914,307. Almost killed Creator/WoodyAllen's career until his next movie, ''Film/MatchPoint'', revived it.

* ''Film/ACureForWellness'' (2017) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $4.2 million (domestic so far).

* ''Film/CurseOfTheJadeScorpion'' (2001) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $18,914,307. Almost killed Creator/WoodyAllen's career until his next movie, ''Film/MatchPoint''.

* ''Film/DeepwaterHorizon'' (2016) -- Budget, $156 million (one estimate), $110-120 million (another estimate). Box office, $60.7 million (domestic so far), $104.2 million (worldwide so far). 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}}''.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout Doogal]]'' (2006) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $7,417,319 (domestic), $26,691,243 (worldwide). This American dub of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' series was critically panned for its poor, pop culture filled writing, weak voice acting, and for lacking the charm of the original series. Worst of all, [[SameLanguageDub the movie already had an American dub]], making this version even more unnecessary. This will probably the the last time anyone in America hears from ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout'' series.
