* ''Film/RumbleFish'' (1983) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $2,494,480. This opened later the same year as ''Film/TheOutsiders'', based on a novel by the same author (S.E. Hinton), the same director (Creator/FrancisFordCoppola), and much of the same cast and crew. Its avant-garde style confounded critics and audiences but it became a CultClassic later on.

* ''Film/TheRoom'' (2003) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, '''$1,800'''. This infamously bad film only played in two Los Angeles theaters in its initial release, but it's since become a CultClassic with a few runs on Adult Swim and numerous midnight screenings.

This BioPic of the Irish politician Charles Stewart Parnell was lambasted for its sluggish pace and its miscasting of Creator/ClarkGable in the title role. This is the biggest flop for Gable and Creator/MyrnaLoy, who played his wife. The disastrous reception made Gable hesitant to do ''Film/GoneWithTheWind''.

* ''FIlm/NakedLunch'' (1991) -- Budget, $17-$18 million. Box office, $2,641,357. This film baffled critics such as ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' due to its content, and likely baffled audiences as well.
* ''Film/NateAndHayes'' (1983) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1.9 million (domestic). This film was an attempt by Paramount, then under Michael Eisner, to capitalize on the success of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' through a pirate angle, but it failed, and helped contribute to the genre getting pushed onto the backburner (''Cutthroat Island'' would hang the genre the next decade outside of Disney's ''Pirates Of The Caribbean'' movies, which also started under Eisner).
* ''Film/NationalLampoonsMovieMadness'' (1983) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $5,027,193. Originally finished in 1981, it sat on the shelf for two years under the name ''National Lampoon Goes To The Movies''. While it was critically despised and failed badly, it didn't slow ''National Lampoon'' down at all.
* ''Film/NearDark'' (1987) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3.4 million. Part of a string of box office underperformers for director Eric Red, though this one became a CultClassic.
* ''Film/NeedForSpeed'' (2014) -- Budget, $66 million. Box office, $43,511,047 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $203,211,047]] (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheNeonDemon'' (2016) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $3,559,803.
* ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIITheNextChapter'' (1990, 1991) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $17 million (domestic), $56,468,971 (worldwide). Thanks to a long gap between movies, only one actor from the first film, the librarian, returned for ''[=NeverEnding=] Story II.'' While it was a hit worldwide, it couldn't recoup its costs in America, as it got a horrible reception from critics and fans for the plot. Its failure in America didn't stop a third film from being made, but it DID influence its final fate.
** ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIIIEscapeFromFantasia'' (1994, 1995) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $5 million ([[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Germany]]), possibly less than $10,000 (domestic). Following part 2's poor reception, the third entry in the series, which has no basis on Michael Ende's novel and none of the actors from the other movies, originally received a limited release in the United States. ''[=NeverEnding Story III=]'' proceeded to get an [[UpToEleven EVEN WORSE]] [[{{Sequelitis}} RECEPTION]] than the previous entry due to further aggravating the characters and plot problems beyond what ''II'' did, making Falkor and the Rock Biter OutOfCharacter, and completely omitting Atreyu and the series's theme song. The rock-bottom reception prevented ''[=NeverEnding=] Story III'' from getting a general wide release in the U.S. until Creator/MiramaxFilms and Disney bought the distribution rights and brought it DirectToVideo 2 years later. It's one of the few films Creator/JackBlack sees as an OldShame, it erased writer Jeff Lieberman's cinematic career for a decade (except for one documentary), and it effectively [[{{Irony}} ended]] the ''[[FranchiseKiller Neverending Story]]'' in America.
* ''[[Literature/PippiLongstocking The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking]]'' (1988) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,569,939. One of two attempts in America to adapt the literary classic. This movie and ''The Pirate Movie'' sunk director Ken Annakin's career, and ''Pippi'' derailed the stardom of her actress, Tami Erin.
* ''New Jersey Drive'' (1995) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,565,508. Part of a year's slate that earned Gramercy Pictures shutdown threats from Universal.
* ''Film/{{Newsies}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $2,819,485. This was originally intended to be a drama, but the higher-ups at maker Disney ordered it turned into a musical in an attempt to revive live-action versions of musicals on the back of the Disney Renaissance films ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' and ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This move angered star Creator/ChristianBale, and the film's failure convinced him never to do another musical (after he lent a voice to ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' first) and led to Disney's plans backfiring and keeping live-action musicals [[GenreKiller out of business]] until their next major attempt with ''High School Musical'' succeeded at this film's job. Eventually became a CultClassic and earned a considerably better received stage adaptation in 2011, which also happens to be a musical.
* ''Film/NewYorkMinute'' (2004) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $21,289,826. Derailed the careers of Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen (Ashley no longer acts) and killed off their production company Dualstar.
* ''Film/NewYorkNewYork'' (1977) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $16.4 million. Its famously TroubledProduction was an early sign of the beginning of the end of UsefulNotes/NewHollywood and would've derailed Creator/MartinScorsese's career for good if not [[Film/RagingBull for his next movie]]. Its title track became a BreakawayPopHit.
* ''Film/{{Next}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $18,211,013 (domestic), $76,066,841 (worldwide).
* ''The Next Best Thing'' (2000) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $24,362,772. This is the last time John Schlesinger took up a director's job in his life, and this, among other movies, knocked Rupert Everett into B list of actors.
* ''Film/TheNiceGuys'' (2016) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $33,364,096 (domestic), $50,364,096 (worldwide). Despite [[AcclaimedFlop glowing reviews from critics]], this was released in the midst of one of the ugliest box office summers in cinema history, and could not make up the budget as a result despite almost all of the big-budget competition getting worse reviews than ''Nice Guys'' got.
* ''Film/NickOfTime'' (1995) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $8,175,346 (domestic). This film's failure [[CreatorKiller sniped down]] director John Badham's cinematic career; he made just one more cinematic film before moving to television.
* ''Film/NightAndTheCity'' (1992) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $6,202,756.
* ''[[Film/NightAtTheMuseum Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb]]'' (2014) -- Budget, $127 million. Box office, $113,746,621 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $363,204,635 (worldwide).]] This was Creator/RobinWilliams' and Creator/MickeyRooney's final film (the former committed suicide due to depression, the latter died of old age). Creator/ShawnLevy hasn't directed another film since.
* ''Film/ANightInHeaven'' (1983) -- Budget, $6,000,000. Box office, $5,563,663.
* ''Film/NightOfTheDemons2009'' -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $64,040. Originally premiering at the London Frightfest in 2009, this film ultimately came Direct-To-DVD.
* ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter'' (1955) -- Budget, $750,000. Box office, $300,000 (US rentals). The first and only feature film directed by Creator/CharlesLaughton. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as an all time masterpiece and its SinisterMinister villain has been [[FountainOfExpies expied]] and spoofed over the years.
* ''Film/{{Nightbreed}}'' (1989) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $8.8-8.9 million. Director Clive Barker originally produced a 2 and a half hour cut of this movie, but 20th Century Fox, who wanted a straight-up horror film and a "''Star Wars'' of Horror" trilogy, did some serious work on it in the editing room and doing reshoots, which led editor Richard Marden to RageQuit. The final cut was 102 minutes, and earned bad reviews from critics, which [[StillbornFranchise killed the trilogy idea]] right out of the gates. Barker wouldn't direct again for 5 years. The original cut would not surface until the 25th anniversary in 2014.
* ''Film/NilByMouth'' (1997) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $266,130. This is the only movie Creator/GaryOldman wrote and directed, and while it got some decent reviews, it also earned notoriety for having the most usage of the word "cunt" (it also abused the F-Bomb).
* ''Film/NineLives2016'' -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,700,032 (domestic), $44,224,244 (worldwide). Another victim of 2016's Summer Bomb Buster, seeing as how it was released with a menagerie of flopped tentpole films. This movie was utterly eviscerated by critics (the consensus on Website/RottenTomatoes is "Not meow, not ever", and this is after [[NotScreenedForCritics they could review it at all]]) and was [[CurbStompBattle utterly pulverized]] by ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'', which opened the same day. This could very well end up a CreatorKiller for director Creator/BarrySonnenfeld and a StarDerailingRole for Creator/KevinSpacey once ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' comes to an end. A disastrous start for French film studio [=EuropaCorp=]'s US distribution unit, it would be followed by two more flops, ''Shut In'' and ''Miss Sloane''.
* ''Film/NinjaAssassin'' (2009) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $38,122,883 (domestic), $61,601,280 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Nixon}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $13,681,765. Co-writer Christopher Wilkinson didn't write another screenplay for 6 years.
* ''No Escape'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $15.3 million. Director Martin Campbell rebounded with ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'' the next year.
* ''Film/NoGoodDeed2002'' -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $181,600 (faints). Was unfortunate enough to have a very limited release (402 theaters).
* ''Film/NoLookingBack'' (1998) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $222,099.
* ''Film/{{Noah}}'' (2014) -- Budget, $125 million. Box office, $101,200,044 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $362,637,473 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/NocturnalAnimals'' (2016) -- Budget, $22.5 million. Box office, $10,663,357 (domestic), $29,252,978 (worldwide).
* ''Theatre/NoisesOff'' (1992) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2.2 million.
* ''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth'' (2016) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $16.9 million (domestic), $22.6 million (worldwide). Trevor Wall's first animated feature directing job, this now has the potential to be his last. Two DirectToVideo sequels have been announced, but this film getting iced by nearly every critic in show business and immediately getting supplanted in bear entertainment by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's third ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3 movie]] could put those plans and any further animation plans from Lionsgate in hot water.
* ''Film/{{North}}'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $7,182,747. Noteworthy for getting a [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList "hate" rant]] from Creator/RogerEbert and a "It's junk. First class junk" accusation from Ebert's partner Creator/GeneSiskel. Those negative reviews, along with dozens of others, and the intense summer competition of 1994, ultimately ensured the film's failure. Writers Alan Zweibel and Andrew Scheinman never worked another movie until the end of the 90's, and Creator/RobReiner's career has never recovered. This film's infamy also resulted in it only being available on VHS until 2012, and it has never been released on Blu-ray.
* ''Film/NorthCountry'' (2005) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $18,337,722 (domestic), $25,211,175 (worldwide). Niki Caro didn't direct another American theatrical film until ''Mcfarland, USA'' ten years later.
* ''No One Lives'' (2013) -- Budget, $2,900,000. Box office, $74,918. Despite its high budget, WWE screened this film in limited release across 53 theaters only.
* ''Film/NotFadeAway'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $427,000. Paramount basically gave this one the InvisibleAdvertising treatment as it was dumped onto the market with almost no trailers, TV or Internet spots or posters.
* ''Film/NotWithoutMyDaughter'' (1991) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $14,789,113. The message about women being held against their will that this film attempted to convey unfortunately got overshadowed by the controversy over its portrayal of Islam and Iran, and criticism of the music from Jerry Goldsmith and star Sally Field getting a Razzie nomination for the film did not help (and the last strike was, of course, the film failing in theaters and with critics, losing money for MGM/UA and derailing director Brian Gilbert's career). Alexis Kouros countered the film with his own documentary, ''Without My Daughter'', which was endorsed by Betty Mahmoody's then-husband, Sayed Mahmoody, whose feud with his wife over their daughter was the focus of the original flop.
* ''Film/NothingButTrouble'' (1991) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $8,479,793. This served as star Creator/DanAykroyd's only directorial effort behind the camera.
* ''Film/{{Novocaine}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $2,036,682. This movie turned director/writer David Atkins's career [[CreatorKiller rotten]]; he's only done an internet series about himself since. It also was part of a year's slate that put production company Artisan Entertainment on life support; they would rebound the next year before being absorbed by Lionsgate.
* ''Film/NowYouSeeMe2'' (2016) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $64,923,129 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $316,602,995 (worldwide)]]. One of the victims of 2016's Summer Bomb Buster, being released alongside ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', ''TMNT: Out of the Shadows'', ''Finding Dory'', and others. It managed to escape the blitzkrieg in international cinemas, however.
* ''Film/NurseBetty'' (2000) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,360,400. One of the movies that led to Gramercy Pictures winding up in the morgue until 2015.
* ''Film/TheNutcracker1993'' -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $2,119,994. The start of Macaulay Culkin's acting career downfall, as the next year would see the child actor star in not one, but THREE flops (''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'', ''Film/ThePagemaster'', and ''Film/RichieRich'', in that order). After that, he would not appear in another feature film until 2003. This was also the final theatrical film from director Emile Ardolino, who died from AIDS 4 days before the film opened, and it's the sole movie that record producer Robert Hurwitz has a credit on.
* ''Film/TheNutcrackerIn3D'' (2010) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $14,678,086, nearly all of which [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales came from the Russian market]]. This sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for three years to get a 3D conversion. The end result was universally despised by critics and died a quiet death in limited release. It derailed director Andrei Konchalovsky's career for four years.

* ''The Obama Effect'' (2012) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $110,000.
* ''Film/OCAndStiggs'' (1987) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $29,815. Creator/RobertAltman's first major studio film since ''{{Film/Popeye}}'' was a much bigger fiasco. It sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for three years before getting a perfunctory release.
* ''Occupy Unmasked'' (2012) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $40,952. A botched attempt at a very critical look at the Occupy movement. This is one of the last pieces of work to have involved Andrew Breitbart, who died that year, his comrade, future Creator/DonaldTrump ally Steve Bannon, did not direct another documentary until the 2016 election year, and producer David Bossie did not get another credit until that year.
* ''Oceans'' (2010) -- Budget, $80 million (marketing included). Box office, $19,422,319 (domestic), $82,651,439 (worldwide). This Disneynature documentary suffered due to competition from Paramount and [=DreamWorks=] Animation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' and Creator/LionsGate's ''Film/KickAss''.
* ''Offending Angels'' (2002) -- Budget, £70,000. Box office, '''[[EpicFail around £89]]'''. This was a smash hit on the festival circuit, but it received mixed to negative reviews upon release. It didn't help that original financier Ardent Productions was going through financial difficulties at the time, and the job went to Guerilla Films.
* ''Film/Oldboy2013'' -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $4,861,022. This remake of the ''[[Film/Oldboy2003 2003]]'' Creator/ParkChanWook film was deemed a case of ItsTheSameNowItSucks and it was the penultimate film for Film District before it was absorbed into Focus Features.
* ''Old Gringo'' (1989) -- Budget, $27 million. Box office, $3,574,256.
* ''Film/OliverTwist'' (2005) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $42,580,321.
* ''Film/OnceUponACrime'' (1992) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $8,669,847.
* ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' (1993) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $6,582,052. This film was devoured by negative critical reviews and ''Film/JurassicPark'', but was successful on home video. Director Charles Grosvenor didn't direct another movie for 4 years, and after that next movie, a remake of ''Babes In Toyland'', Grosvenor never returned to cinema and his directing career would be focused solely on the series of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' DirectToVideo sequels. It would also be 3 years before screenwriter Kelly Ward wrote his second and last theatrical screenplay, returning to family television.
* ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'' (1984) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $5,321,508. Was [[ExecutiveMeddling butchered]] before its release despite protests from director and co-writer Creator/SergioLeone, whose career [[CreatorKiller crumbled]] following its negative reception by critics and audiences. It has since been VindicatedByHistory and is regarded as one of Leone's greatest masterpieces, alongside the ''[[Series/DollarsTrilogy Dollars]]'' [[Series/DollarsTrilogy Trilogy]].
* ''Film/OnDeadlyGround'' (1994) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $38.5 million. This VanityProject was the first and last film directed by Creator/StevenSeagal (barring some alleged uncredited work on a few DVD films). This film was part of a series of blows that, along with ''The Patriot'' and ''Fire Down Below'', knocked out Seagal's action star career in Hollywood and sent him packing to direct-to-DVD shelves.
* ''Film/OnTheLine'' (2001) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4,403,019.
* ''Film/OnTheRoad'' (2012) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $8,784,318. Crashed the career of director Walter Salles.
* ''Film/TheOne'' (2001) -- Budget, $49 million. Box office, $43,905,746 (domestic), $72,689,126 (worldwide).
* ''One Eight Seven'' (1997) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $5,716,080.
* ''Film/OneForTheMoney'' (2012) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $36,893,721. This film of the first ''Literature/StephaniePlum'' novel was shrugged by critics and audiences but [[ApprovalOfGod author Janet Evanovich liked it]]
* ''One from the Heart'' (1982) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $636,796. This film [[CreatorKiller bankrupted]] Francis Ford Coppola, with most of his work for the next two decades being done [[MoneyDearBoy to pay off the debts he accrued from making it]]. Like ''Film/HeavensGate'', it also heavily contributed to the end of the UsefulNotes/NewHollywood era.
* ''Film/OneTrueThing'' (1998) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $26,616,840.
* ''One, Two, Three'' (1961) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $4 million. This political satire set in West Berlin was overshadowed by the construction of the Berlin Wall, which began four months before the film's release. Creator/JamesCagney had such a negative experience with this movie that he stayed off the big screen until ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'', his final film role.
* ''Onegin'' (1999) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $206,128 (Ouch). The fact that it was released in '''6''' theaters didn't help.
* ''Film/OneNightAtMcCools'' (2001) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $13,473,370.
* ''Film/{{One Night Stand|1997}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $2,618,335. This came after ''Leaving Las Vegas'', and the failed experiment of a film put a crutch on the career of director Mike Figgis.
* ''The Only Game in Town'' (1970) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1.5 million. The film's box office failure led to acclaimed director George Stevens' complete retirement from directing.
* ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million ($60 million when marketing is factored in). Box office, $1,065,907. The [[TastesLikeDiabetes triple-G-rated]] film produced by Kenn Viselman (who was instrumental in importing ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' to the United States) has become infamous for its absolutely dismal theatrical run. Notably, it '''underperformed ''Delgo''''' in its opening weekend, becoming the new worst opening weekend for a film playing in around 2,000 theaters. Despite this, [[http://theweek.com/article/index/232799/how-the-oogieloves-became-the-biggest-box-office-bomb-of-all-time sequels remain desired]].
* ''Film/TheOppositeSex'' (1956) -- Budget, $2,834,000. Box office, $1,735,000 (domestic), $2,760,000 (worldwide). Cost MGM $1,513,000.
* ''Film/TheOrder'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $11,559,747.
* ''Film/OriginalSin2001'' -- Budget, $42 million. Box office, $35,402,320. The fatal directing/writing career sin for Michael Cristofer, who never directed again and never wrote another screenplay; he would only create a story for one more film in 2005.
* ''Theatre/{{Oscar}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $23,562,716.
* ''Film/OsmosisJones'' (2001) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $14,026,418. This film's failure didn't stop an [[WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix animated spinoff]] from debuting on the Kids' WB! Saturday morning block the next year, which ran for 2 seasons. In addition, [[VindicatedByVideo the film performed well in the home video/DVD market]], but this didn't stop the film from poisoning the A list reputation of the Farrelly Bros., who directed the live-action parts of the movie (they haven't attempted anything with animation since; it was also one of two films that year, the other being ''Pootie Tang'', that put Chris Rock in a bad spot). Part of a short series of bombs for Warner Bros. Animation, and the next film, ''Looney Tunes: Back In Action,'' would shutter the division until ''The Lego Movie'' in 2014.
* ''Film/TheOtherSister'' (1999) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,807,627 (domestic). This film's failure, along with Mandeville Films' founder David Hoberman temporarily going to work for Hyde Park Entertainment for the next few years, led to Mandeville not getting another film into theaters for 5 years.
* ''Film/OurBrandIsCrisis'' (2015) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $7 million.
* ''Film/OutOfTheFurnace'' (2013) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $15,660,668.
* ''Out of Time'' (2003) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $41,088,845 (domestic), $55,495,563 (worldwide).
* ''The Out-of-Towners'' (1999) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $28,544,120. The first of three box office misfires that sent director Sam Weisman's career over the horizon.
* ''Outcast'' (2014-2015) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $4.8 million. This film hasn't helped the careers of ''Star Wars'' alumni Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage much; for Cage, he also had the second take on ''Left Behind'' the same year.
* ''Film/{{Outlander}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $47 million. Box office, $7,033,683, nearly all of which came from overseas.
* ''Film/OverTheTop'' (1987) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $16,057,580. This is one of the films that eventually did in The Cannon Group. Director Menahem Golan was reassigned as a B to C list director when this movie failed, and it also T.K.Oed the film careers of writer Stirling Silliphant and actor David Mendenhall.
* ''Film/TheOxBowIncident'' (1943) -- Budget, $565,000. Box office, $750,000 (US rentals). Fox placed this on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for a few months due to its sobering themes. It was [[AcclaimedFlop highly praised by critics]] and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture (its only nomination), but it was outgrossed by one of the studio's Creator/LaurelAndHardy films.

* ''Film/PacificRim'' (2013) -- Budget, $190 million (plus an unknown but presumably huge marketing budget). Box office, $101,802,906 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $411,002,906 (worldwide).]] Was very popular in China, where it made the most money. Same can't be said for its domestic totals, being beaten financially by the critically mauled ''[[Film/GrownUps Grown Ups 2]]'', despite this movie's [[AcclaimedFlop good to great reviews.]] The movie did well enough to spawn a 2018 sequel ''Pacific Rim: Uprising''.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'' (1994) -- Budget, $21 million. Box office, $13.7 million. Along with ''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'' and ''Film/RichieRich'', 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 one, however, was partially salvaged by home video sales. The director of this film's animated portions, Pixote Hunt (credited as Maurice here), didn't get another directing credit until the opening number in ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}'', and ''The Pagemaster'' is the only time live-action director Joe Johnston has attempted to work a movie that involved animation.
* ''Film/ThePaintedHills'' (1951): Budget: $667,000. Box Office: $1,085,000. Recorded loss: $122,000. This DarkerAndEdgier installment of MGM's ''Lassie'' series nearly [[FranchiseKiller killed the franchise]], but the beloved collie's transition to television revived public interest.
* ''Film/PaintYourWagon'' (1969): Budget: $20 million. Box Office: $31.7 million. Although it was the sixth highest-grossing film of the year, it came out when movie musicals were on the decline and it failed to make back its high budget. Creator/ClintEastwood and Creator/LeeMarvin's singing abilities bared the brunt of the film's negative reviews, though the latter's rendition of the ballad "Wandrin' Star" became a surprise hit. This was the [[CreatorKiller final film]] for director Joshua Logan and would be memorably parodied in Series/TheSimpsons in 1998. One bright side is that the film's TroubledProduction gave Eastwood valuable experience for his later directorial career.
* ''Film/ThePallbearer'' (1996) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $5,656,388. Director Matt Reeves took a 4-year leave from cinema, and writer Jason Katims didn't work in cinema again until 2012, sticking with television.
* ''Film/{{Pan}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $35,088,320 (domestic), $128,309,320 (worldwide). This one is an OldShame for Rooney Mara, who caused heavy controversy after she landed the role of the traditionally Native American character Tiger Lily. Mara said had she known the controversy this was going to cause, she never would have taken that role. Critics agree the whitewashing was the least of the film's problems, though...
* ''Film/{{Pandorum}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $20,645,327. This and another Christian Alvart-directed film, ''Film/Case39'', sent his career back to Germany, where it's been since.
* ''Film/{{Panic}}'' (2000) -- Budget, $1 million. Box office, $779,137 (domestic sub-total). 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.
* ''Film/{{Paparazzi}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $16,796,512.
* ''Film/ParadiseRoad'' (1997) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $2,007,100.
* ''Film/Paranoia2013'' -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $13,385,015. Notable for having the lowest-grossing opening weekend in Creator/HarrisonFord's career.
* ''Literature/ParanoidPark'' (2008) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $486,767 (domestic), $4,545,747 (worldwide).
* ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' (2012) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $56,003,051 (domestic), $107,139,399 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Parker}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $17,616,641 (domestic), $48,543,388 (worldwide).
* ''{{Film/Passengers|2016}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $100,014,699 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $303,144,152 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/{{Passion}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $92,181 (domestic), $1,393,407 (worldwide). Brian De Palma's first movie after his hiatus in the late 2000s, ''Passion'' only played in 14 theaters stateside, hence the low gross. De Palma has not announced any projects since this movie.
* ''Film/PassionOfMind'' (2000) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $769,000. The first English film from Belgian director Alain Berliner... and considering the negative reactions to the script, it showed. He never did another theatrical American film.
* ''Film/{{Pathfinder}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $30,822,861.
* ''Film/PatriotsDay'' (2017) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $44,352,284.
* ''Film/{{Paycheck}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $53,790,451 (domestic), $96,269,812 (worldwide). Was part of a [[Film/{{Gigli}} very]] [[Film/{{Daredevil}} bad]] [[Film/JerseyGirl slump]] of movies around the early 2000s that helped damage star Ben Affleck's career until his CareerResurrection a few years later. This was also the last Hollywood film Creator/JohnWoo worked on before moving back to Hong Kong, where he continues to make movies.
* ''Film/PayItForward'' (2000) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $33,519,628 (domestic), $55,707,411 (worldwide). It killed director Mimi Leder's cinematic career until 2009.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'' (1995) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $3,983,912. Became victim of constant ExecutiveMeddling, with many of the voices getting rerecorded and characters heavily edited. It was the last production of Creator/DonBluth's studio before he and co-director Gary Goldman moved to Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox (their partner, John Pomeroy, returned to Disney). Bluth was so embarrassed with the film's final results that [[AlanSmithee he had his name removed from the credits]].
* ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' (2014) -- Budget, $132 million. Box office, $81,268,373 (domestic), $320,483,373 (worldwide). And that's not even counting the advertising budget. [=DreamWorks=] Animation had already been suffering from previous box office stings, but this film delivered the biggest blow to the studio. After the studio predicted it would make a $49 million loss at theaters[[note]]which was bigger than their previous $15 million loss prediction[[/note]], studio shares tumbled ''six percent'' the following month, and forced the company to [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/business/breaking-dreamworks-animation-will-shut-down-pdidreamworks-studio-over-500-jobs-will-be-eliminated-108161.html terminate five hundred employees (including Chief Creative Officer Bill Damaschke and newly installed Chief Operating Officer Mark Zoradi) and shut down PDI]]. This film and the chain of critical or commercial disappointments led to Jeffrey Katzenberg selling the studio to Comcast/Universal and divesting his interests in the firm after 22 years.
* ''Film/PenniesFromHeaven'' (1981) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $9 million. This was critically [[AcclaimedFlop acclaimed]], but bombed anyway. ''Pennies From Heaven'', ''Film/{{Heartbeeps}}'', and ''Film/{{Annie|1982}}'', led to Bernadette Peters dropping off the big screen until the end of the 80's.
* ''Film/PeopleIKnow'' (2003) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $5.7 million.
* ''Film/ThePeopleVsLarryFlynt'' (1996) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $20,300,385. The reason for the gross coming in below the budget was the film only screened in limited release (that said, [[AcclaimedFlop it was a hit with critics and the audience in said limited release).]]
* ''Film/ThePerezFamily'' (1995) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,669,359.
* ''Film/{{Perfect}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12,918,858.
* ''Film/APerfectGetaway'' (2009) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $15,515,460 (domestic), $22,852,638 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ThePerfectMan'' (2005) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $19,770,475. A lot of the people who took part in this movie (Creator/HilaryDuff, Creator/HeatherLocklear, Mike O'Malley, Creator/ChrisNoth, Caroline Rhea, director Mark Rosman) took severe damage to their cinematic careers, but most have found success in television (and music for Duff).
* ''Film/ThePerfectScore'' (2004) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $10,876,805.
* ''Film/PerfectStranger'' (2007) -- Budget, $60.8 million. Box office, $23,984,949 (domestic), $73,090,611 (worldwide). One of the most heavily panned films of 2007, it derailed the cinematic career of director James Foley, who did not direct another film for 10 years.
* ''The Perfect Weapon'' (1991) -- Budget, $10 million (estimated). Box office, $14,061,361. The first of three films and bombs for screenwriter David C. Wilson, and he did not write his second, ''Supernova'', until 2000. This is also the last of two films producer Mark [=DiSalle=] ever directed.
* ''Film/PerfumeTheStoryOfAMurderer'' (2006) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $2,223,293 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $135,039,943 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/ThePest'' (1997) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $3.5 million.
* ''Film/PeterPan'' (2003) -- Budget, $100 million (not counting marketing costs), $130.6 million (counting them). Box office, $48,462,608 (domestic), $121,975,011 (worldwide). The film's failure, thanks to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings a much bigger adventure film released the same month]], caused distributor Universal's parent company to sell off 80 percent of the studio's stake to Creator/{{NBC}}'s parent, General Electric, which formed a partnership that later became [=NBCUniversal=].
* ''Film/{{Phantom}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $1,197,759.
* ''Film/ThePhantom1996'' -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $17,323,326.
* ''Film/{{Phobia}}'' (1980) -- Budget, $5.1 million. Box office, $59,167.
* ''Film/PhysicalEvidence'' (1989) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $3,560,932. Creator/MichaelCrichton never returned to the director's chair for the rest of his life after this movie bombed out.
* ''Disney/PigletsBigMovie'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $23,103,423 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $63 million (worldwide)]]. The budget for the next ''Winnie-The-Pooh'' movie from Disneytoon, ''The Heffalump Movie'', was trimmed a bit, and then there wouldn't be another ''Pooh'' film in theaters until 2011.
* ''Pimp'' (2010) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, '''[[EpicFail £205]]'''. This was mauled by critics so badly it was yanked from UK theaters after '''one screening.''' It would be seven years before director/star Robert Cavanagh would direct another film.
* ''Film/PinkCadillac'' (1989) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $12,143,484. This movie, along with ''Film/SlavesOfNewYork'', [[StarDerailingRole ran Bernadette Peters's cinematic career back off the road]] after she took a seven year hiatus from the big screen for her role in several bombs at the beginning of the 80's. The stage actress and singer has not been in a leading role in movies she appears in since 1989.
* ''Film/ThePinkPanther2'' (2009) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $35,922,978 (domestic), $75,946,615 (worldwide). The '''third''' FranchiseKiller for ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther'' film series, and no further ''Pink Panther'' films have been announced since then.
* ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' (1940) -- Budget, $2,289,247. Box office, $1.4-1.9 million (original theatrical release tally only). The outbreak of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII hurt this film badly, and, along with ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'s'' initial disappointing releases and a bitter strike from animators, 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. ''Pinocchio'' has since been considered one of Walt's [[AcclaimedFlop best,]] along with ''Fantasia'' and ''Bambi'', as its later theatrical reissues kept making money until the 1984 reissue, which grossed $26 million and was the second most successful movie release that Christmas. This prompted new Disney CEO Michael Eisner to override his colleagues Jeffrey Katzenberg and Roy E. Disney and release ''Pinocchio'' on video as the second release in the [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Walt Disney Classics line]], where it sold very well and was crucial in the overall development of home entertainment. The film's main theme, "When You Wish Upon a Star", had become the central theme of Disney by that point and is the jingle in the Walt Disney Pictures VanityPlate.
* Roberto Benigni's ''Pinocchio'' (2003) -- Budget, 40 million euros ($39.4 million). Box office, 41,323,171 euros ($40.7 million; worldwide). This movie pulverized Benigni's career.
* ''WesternAnimation/PinocchioAndTheEmperorOfTheNight'' (1987) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,261,638. This entered development after Filmation began getting hammered financially, so they decided to create a sequel to Walt Disney's Signature Classic ''Pinocchio''. Problem was, they attempted to do this without Disney's input, and the newly cristened Walt Disney Company was angered and sued Filmation to stop production right away. The suit was defeated with a public domain argument, but Filmation still altered the design to avoid any further controversy. Their attempt to stay relevant failed, and Filmation was forced to shutter in 1989, with their other unofficial sequel, ''Happily Ever After'', being stuck in limbo until 1993, when it also tanked and drove another nail into the studio's coffin.
* ''Literature/PippiLongstocking'' (1997) -- Budget, $11.5 million. Box office, $505,335. One of two attempts in North America to adapt the literary classic. However, HBO executives were impressed enough by the film to launch a television series based on it.
* ''Film/ThePirateMovie'' (1982) -- Budget, AUS$6 million. Box office, $1,013,000 Australian dollars (Australia), US$8 million (worldwide). This movie and ''The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking'' sunk director Ken Annakin's career, and ''Pirates'' short-circuited politician Ted Hamilton's attempt to become an actor (he helped provide development funds for a few more movies such as Disney's ''The Flight Of The Navigator'', but never went before a movie camera again).
* ''Film/PirateRadio'' (2009) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $36,348,784.
* ''Film/{{Pirates}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $1,641,825. A giant blow to the career of director Creator/RomanPolanski, who was thrown overboard and marooned in the B-list for the rest of the 20th century.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'' (2012) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $31,051,126 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $123,054,041 (worldwide)]]. This Creator/AardmanAnimations film opened in second place at the box office (behind ''Film/ThinkLikeAMan'', which was already on its second week) with a paltry $11.1 million and was promptly buried beneath ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' in its second week.
* ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' (1983) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $694,497. Due to Universal releasing the movie on Pay TV and in theaters simultaneously, only 92 theaters agreed to show it. It enjoyed a long run in one of those theaters and has since become a Cult Classic.
* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'' (2011) -- Budget, $250 million (reported), $378.5 million (actual). Box office, $241,071,802 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $1,045,713,802 (worldwide)]]. Despite being the most expensive film of all time as of this writing and disappointing domestically, likely due to the absence of several main characters from the trilogy of preceding films, its cracking the billion-dollar mark worldwide saved it. Nonetheless, the series lay dormant (and Creator/JohnnyDepp went through a string of bombs) until...
** ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'' (2017) -- Budget, $230 million. Box office, $170,617,747 (domestic so far), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $767,277,322 (worldwide so far)]]. This film was released a whopping six years after its predecessor, suffered a very TroubledProduction due to Depp going through an ugly divorce from Creator/AmberHeard (the less said about it, the better), had {{Continuity Snarl}}s due to a different writing team, and overall just came off as a classic example of franchise fatigue.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $13,155,091. ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' hasn't ventured outside its DirectToVideo roots since this movie, and the franchise slowly fell out of the hands of original creators Big Idea afterwards.
* ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $110 million (production only), $145 million (plus marketing). Box office, $78.7 million (domestic), $244.9 million (worldwide). Opened a week after ''Film/AntMan'', which was bad enough -- and a day after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Lafayette_shooting a shooting at a movie theater]] (at the premiere of a film with a significantly lower profile -- and one that made a ''lot'' more money in the long run); the next week saw the release of the fifth ''Film/MissionImpossible'' movie, ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'', and the [[Film/{{Vacation}} remake]] of ''Film/NationalLampoonsVacation,'' which, along with a resurging of ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'' and '''another''' [[http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/05/us/tennessee-theater-shooting/ theatre shooting]] [[note]] This one was second-run for ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' and, thankfully, no one besides the shooter died (although someone got hit in the shoulder with a hatchet) [[/note]] further jeopardized the film's chances of success. ''Pixels'' looks to be the latest in a string of Creator/AdamSandler starring flops and kept a terrible year for Sony going (it also has the potential of sending Josh Gad's career [[StarDerailingRole to the penalty box]] after his success with ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' and ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'').
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Planet51}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $42,194,060 (domestic), $105,647,102 (worldwide). This and the Jack Black version of ''Gulliver's Travels'' dealt a heavy blow to screenwriter Joe Stillman's career.
* ''Platinum High School'' (1960) -- Budget, $627,000. Box office, $175,000 (domestic), $150,000 (international), $570,000 (worldwide). This led to MGM losing $270,000 on this project. It signaled the beginning of the end for Albert Zugsmith's producing career; he did not produce another film for 3 years and only produced two more films. Director Charles Haas also never directed another theatrical film, sticking with television.
* ''Film/PlayItToTheBone'' (1999) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $8,434,146.
* ''Film/PlayingByHeart'' (1999) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $3,970,078.
* ''Film/PlayingForKeeps'' (2012) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,805,632.
* ''Playing God'' (1997) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $4,166,918.
* ''Playtime'' (1967) -- Budget, 12-17 million francs. Box office, $2 million. The massive budget is due to the film's equally massive set and director and star Creator/JacquesTati filming it on 70mm film and using stereophonic sound. Its low gross is due to not many theatres being able to screen the film properly. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as Tati's all around masterpiece.
* ''Film/{{Pleasantville}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $49,805,462.
* ''Film/ThePledge'' (2001) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,419,291.
* ''Plunket & Macleane'' (1999) -- Budget, 8,490,000 British Pounds Sterling. Box office, $474,900 (United States), 2,757,485 British Pounds Sterling (total). This was the first of two directing jobs from the son of Ridley Scott, Jake, and he didn't make his second one for 11 years. It also didn't help Gary Oldman's producing career out too much.
* ''Anime/Pokemon4Ever'' (2001 in Japan, 2002 in the U.S.) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1.7 million (domestic), $28 million (worldwide). You can pin the blame on this film's failure on distributor Creator/MiramaxFilms, who, after gaining the rights to the ''Pokémon'' movies from Warner Bros., dumped this film in a very limited amount of theaters. As a result, this film did not make as much money as the [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie previous]] [[Anime/Pokemon2000 three]] [[Anime/{{Pokemon3}} installments]] in the film adaptations of the long running anime, but the fifth film received a theatrical release anyway...
** ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'' (2002 in Japan, 2003 in the U.S.) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $746,381 (domestic), $20,867,919 (worldwide). Like ''[=4Ever=]'', Miramax gave this movie a limited release in the United States that ultimately failed. As a result, all the U.S. dubs of the ''Pokémon'' film franchise henceforth premiered as TV movies on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/DisneyXD except for ''Anime/PokemonTheMovieBlackAndWhite'' in 2011, which premiered as a one-weekend limited theatrical screening instead (in comparison, these films remain major theatrical releases in their home country of Japan to this day). However, a Hollywood live-action film based on ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachu'' is said to be in the works, meaning the ''Pokémon'' series could see a return to the big screens of the United States.
* ''Film/PointBreak2015'' -- Budget, $105 million. Box office, $28.8 million (domestic), $128.9 million (worldwide). A failed attempt to remake [[Film/PointBreak1991 the original 1991 film]].
* ''Film/PoliceAcademy 6: City Under Siege'' (1989) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $11,567,217 (domestic). The bad reception of this movie resulted in a 5-year hiatus before the next and last film...
** ''Film/PoliceAcademy: Mission To Moscow.'' (1994) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, believe it or not, $126,247. The very poor performance of this final entry killed the film franchise altogether. It was also director Alan Metter's last theatrically released movie, and he [[AlanSmithee disowned it]].
* ''Film/{{Pollyanna}}'' (1960) -- Budget, $2.5 million. Box office, unknown. It got strong reviews despite critics being initially pessimistic, but it failed to make it even halfway to a projected $6 million goal gross. No sequels to the movie were produced when it couldn't perform financially.
* ''Film/PoltergeistIII'' (1988) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $14,114,488. Killed off the ''Poltergeist'' theatrical movies until a reboot in 2015.
* ''Film/{{Pompeii}}'' (2014) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $23,219,748 (domestic), $117,831,631 (worldwide). [[CreatorKiller Production company Film District was absorbed into Focus Features after this film.]] It also [[StarDerailingRole buried the cinematic careers of its cast under ash]], with at least three of them (Kit Harrington of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Kiefer Sutherland of ''Series/TwentyFour'', and Sasha Roiz of ''Series/{{Grimm}}'') focusing back on television (though their screen credits after this are not completely dry).
* ''Film/PootieTang'' (2001) -- Budget, $7,000,000. Box office, $3,313,583. Roger Ebert accused this film of being "unfinished" and said "It was hardly a movie at all". This sentiment was shared by director Louis C.K., who was fired during editing and disowned the film, which was his last cinematic endeavor as director. One of two films that year, the other being ''Osmosis Jones'', that put Chris Rock in a bad spot.
* ''Film/{{Popeye}}'' (1980) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $49,823,037 (domestic), $60 million (worldwide). Even with this high gross, Paramount and co-producer Disney considered this movie to be a flop due to not reaching the expected gross target, plus it received mixed reviews from critics. Subsequently, Paramount bosses Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg would jump to Disney within 5 years. Screenwriter Jules Feiffer did not have another screenwriting credit on a full-length film until the end of the decade (and that movie is Feiffer's last film), and it's the last film Robert Evans produced before a cocaine trafficking conviction sent his life and career downhill for the 1980's. No other attempts to bring ''Popeye'' to the big screen have materialized since this film.
* ''Film/PopstarNeverStopNeverStopping'' (2016) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $9,496,130. After grossing a mere $4 million on its opening weekend, the film was kicked out of wide release after its second week. Universal hopes the film's [[AcclaimedFlop positive critical reception]] will help it gather a cult following in the home video market, enough to make its money back, similar to ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap''.
* ''Theatre/PorgyAndBess'' (1959) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $3.5 million. This film version of Music/GeorgeGershwin's opera was only shown in a Roadshow Release due to its controversial subject matter. This was the last film produced by Samuel Goldwyn. It didn't help that the Gershwins [[DisownedAdaptation disliked the film]] due to its AdaptationDecay and have kept it out of circulation to this day.
* ''Film/{{Poseidon}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $160 million. Box office, $60,674,817 (domestic), $181,674,817 (worldwide). Suffered the unfortunate fate of being a film about a disaster at sea released when the Indian Ocean tsunami was still fresh on everyone's mind. Between that and the film's negative reviews, this marked the derailment of director Creator/WolfgangPetersen's career, as he hasn't helmed another feature since.
* ''Film/Possession2002'' -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $14,815,898.
* ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' (2007, 2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $146,741 (worldwide). An adaptation of an [[VideoGameMoviesSuck unpopular and controversial video game]] (it had only two games up to this film's release), the film itself was hampered by the opening scene trivializing the UsefulNotes/SeptemberEleventh terrorist attacks and turning the Al Qaeda terrorist organization into a bunch of comedy buffoons... among many other controversial issues too numerous to list (the ending with [[spoiler: President [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Bush]] and Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden also attracted all the wrong kinds of attention]]). The opening scene alone was enough to cause nearly ever US theater to pass on the film (it was in a total of 21 theaters in the US). To make things even worse, it came out one day after ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' with a harsh campaign saying it would destroy that film at the box office, which clearly did not happen. Most of the film's earnings came from non-US screenings. It was directed by Uwe Boll, which may explain much of this. An attempt at a sequel was blown up when Boll could not acquire the necessary funds.
* ''Film/ThePostman'' (1997) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $17,626,234. [[DuelingMovies Released on the same day as]] Creator/JamesCameron's ''Film/Titanic1997''. Where ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'' failed (since its gross actually exceeded its budget), ''The Postman'' succeeded in [[CreatorKiller ending]] Creator/KevinCostner's A-list status and his run as producer-director of his own movies. He would continue finding work as an actor (and even [[Film/OpenRange direct again]]), to relative success.
* ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $586,938. This is the only feature film that director Pierre [=Decelles=] and writers Jim Carlson and Terrence [=McDonnell=] have been involved in; the film's failure to leave a mark sent their careers back to television. This is also one of a handful of film adaptations of Creator/HannaBarbera programs that was sent to the theatrical dog pound, and Creator/TristarPictures wouldn't distribute another animated film until 2001.
* ''Film/{{Power}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $3.8 million.
* ''Literature/ThePowerOfOne'' (1992) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $2,827,107 (domestic). This film sent the career of director John G. Avildsen to the mat; he directed only two more films before the 20th century was out.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' (2002) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $15 million (domestic). It had the bad fortune to open opposite ''Film/MenInBlackII'' on the same day, a widely anticipated sequel, and Warner Bros. (distributor of the PPG movie) exhausted their promotional energies to the first live-action ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' movie. Leaving much of the marketing campaign to Cartoon Network who didn't have a good widespread influence outside the channel. Its failure pretty much killed off any chance of there being another theatrical movie based off a Creator/CartoonNetwork original with all planned movies being made strictly for TV (at least until an ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' movie was announced in 2015, almost 13 years later). In some countries such as Japan, it was released DirectToVideo. [[TooSoon Having a large amount of scenes featuring the destruction of high-rise buildings and being released a little more that a year after the September 11 attacks couldn't have helped, either]].
* ''[[Film/PowerRangers2017 Power Rangers]]'' (2017) -- Budget, $100 million (production only). Box office, $85,364,450 (domestic), $140,246,402 (worldwide). The movie was released at a very poor time, coming out just after the mega-popular ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and ''[[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 Beauty and the Beast]]'', and had any potential earnings shot down by ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby'' and fellow bomb ''Film/GhostInTheShell'' the very next week. While Saban has plans for six movies, with this one even sporting a SequelHook, they are in jeopardy.
* ''Film/{{Prefontaine}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $589,304. (Wow).
* ''Film/PremiumRush'' (2012) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $31,083,599.
* ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'' (2016) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $16,374,328. Unlike the other two films Burr Steers directed, this one is both a box office failure '''and''' a critical failure, getting mixed reviews. It remains to be seen if this will bury his career any.
* ''Film/Priest2011'' -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $29,136,626 (domestic), $78,309,131 (worldwide).
* ''Film/PrimaryColors'' (1998) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $52,090,187. This was the last feature film written by Elaine May, who earned a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination for her script. It also didn't help that it was released early into the Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal (The film is a roman a clef about Clinton's first run for President).
* ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'' (2010) -- Budget, $200 million. Box office, $90,759,676 (domestic), $336,365,676 (worldwide). A heavily-promoted attempt from Creator/JerryBruckheimer and Disney to avert the VideoGameMoviesSuck trope. Instead of ending the trend, the adaptation of the game fell headlong into it.
* ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' (1997; all Box Office totals are inflated to the film's original release date) -- Budget, 2.1 billion Japanese Yen/$18.5 million. Box office, $2,298,191 (Eight weeks in the United States), $11 million (international), 14.5 billion Japanese Yen/$127.5 million (Japan; inflated at the time of the film's release). An attempt by American distributor Miramax's boss Harvey Weinstein to make edits to this film to get a PG rating in the States prompted Creator/StudioGhibli producer Toshio Suzuki to send him a katana with a note saying, "[[IncrediblyLamePun No Cuts!]]", on it to prevent the film from suffering the same fate as ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' and its CutAndPasteTranslation ''Warriors of the Wind''. It was a great success in Japan and is a critically acclaimed film, but Miramax/Disney chose to screen it only in arthouse theaters such as the Landmark Theatres chain (which may have actually helped its reputation).
* ''Film/TheProducers'' (2005) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $38,058,335. This version of the play/film is the one cinematic directing job for theatre director Susan Stroman.
* ''Film/{{Prom}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $10,130,219. This movie's failure put the career of director Joe Nussbaum in indefinite time-out and helped get Disney studio chief Rich Ross expelled from the company.
* ''Film/{{The Promise|2016}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $9,831,487.
* ''Promised Land'' (2012) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $8.1 million. The energy, gas, and oil companies from Shell to oilmen in Pennsylvania all had a negative outcry to the film's portrayal of fracking, prompting a CNBC report on the matter when Penn residents started a Facebook page after Focus Features filmed the movie in their neck of the woods. Star Creator/MattDamon, who is a heavy anti-oil man, and co-star/co-writer John Krasinski have yet to write a new script, and neither man would produce again until 2016. Director Gus Van Sant's cinema career would be deactivated for a few years as well.
* ''Film/ProofOfLife'' (2000) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $62,761,005. This gained considerable tabloid coverage for the off-screen romance of co-stars Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. It also dealt with the death of David Morse's stand-in in an accident on the set.
* ''Prospero's Books'' (1991) -- Budget, £1,500,000. Box office, $1,750,301. This reinterpretation of ''Theatre/TheTempest'' was one of the earliest films to be edited with HDTV technology; it also received considerable attention for its MindScrew elements and bountiful nudity and it never left a limited release.
* ''Film/Psycho1998'' -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $37,141,130, though director Gus Van Saint claims the studio "broke even" financially. This film was heavily panned by critics for being a 90's shot-by-shot [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks remake]] of Creator/AlfredHitchcock's original [[Film/{{Psycho}} classic]] '''[[RecycledInSpace IN COLOR!]]''' (this included copying the original script from Joseph Stefano, who was credited as the screenwriter on this one as well). This prompted ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' to say, "Rent the Original". It sent Van Sant's career to the B-list (he also would not get another producer credit until 2005), helped convince Creator/VinceVaughn to shift his career to comedy, and this, several other box office bombs, and the controversy over coming out as a lesbian alongside Creator/EllenDegeneres derailed the A-list career of Creator/AnneHeche, who also went straight.
* ''Film/PublicEnemies'' (2009) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $97,104,620 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $214,104,620 (worldwide).]] This kept Michael Mann from directing another film until ''Film/{{Blackhat}}'', which also bombed.
* ''Pudsey the Dog: The Movie'' (2014) -- Budget, £2.5 million. Box office, £2.6 million. The movie starring Pudsey the dog, one half of the dancing duo Ashleigh and Pudsey[[note]]now Ashleigh and Sully due to the latter's death[[/note]], flopped in its opening week, only making £446,000 (for comparison, ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'', which was released the same week, made four times as much in its opening week as ''Pudsey'' did in '''its whole theatrical run'''), and got a rare '''0%''' approval rating on Website/RottenTomatoes. This was also Pudsey's only theatrical adventure before his death in July 2017.
* ''Pulse'' (1988) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $40,397. One of several Columbia Pictures films greenlit by president David Puttnam before his departure in September 1987. This was left out to dry in limited release like most of the leftovers from Puttnam's slate.
* ''Punchline'' (1988) -- Budget, $15,000,000. Box office, $21,042,667. One of several films Columbia Pictures president David Puttnam greenlit before his departure in September 1987. This fared better than most of the leftovers from his slate but it still failed to recoup its costs. Director David Seltzer waited four years before he directed another film again.
* ''Film/PunchDrunkLove'' (2002) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $24,591,032. One of the few Creator/AdamSandler films to not be despised by critics (it was a drama rather than a comedy, and actually received [[AcclaimedFlop pretty good reviews]]), ''Punch-Drunk Love'' only had a limited release, and director Creator/PaulThomasAnderson and producer [=JoAnne=] Sellar would have a 5 year wait before their next movies (for Sellar, her next movie would be ''[[Film/TheWickerMan2006 The Wicker Man]]'', which also tanked).
* ''Film/PunisherWarZone'' (2008) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $10,100,036. This was director [[Film/GreenStreet Lexi Alexander's]] second to last movie (her final one being ''Lifted'') before her retirement from filmmaking due to constant ExecutiveMeddling from Creator/LionsGate; she now happily resides in television directing (though she would later come out of retirement to do a biopic about Wrestling/ChrisBenoit). The movie bombing also allowed Marvel to regain Comicbook/ThePunisher film rights and integrate the character into the 2015 ''Series/Daredevil2015'' Creator/{{Netflix}} show's second season; that show is part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
* ''Film/ThePurpleRoseOfCairo'' (1985) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,631,333. It did well in limited release as per Creator/WoodyAllen's usual output.
* ''Pushing Tin'' (1999) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $8,408,835.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Q]]
* ''Film/QueenOfKatwe'' (2016) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,195,036. It did get [[AcclaimedFlop great reviews from critics]] though.
* ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' (2002) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $30,336,800 (domestic), $45,479,110 (worldwide).
* ''Queens Logic'' (1991) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $612,781. Never got out of a limited release.
* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' (1998) -- Budget, $40,000,000 (Not counting marketing costs). Box office, $22,510,798 (domestic). A rare film in that its soundtrack became far more popular than the movie. This movie was the first in a series of animated misfires from Warner Bros. that led to ''Looney Tunes: Back In Action,'' which killed their animation department. Warner would not get a serious foothold in the theatrical animation industry until ''The Lego Movie'' in 2014. Creator/LaurenFaust worked on this movie and [[OldShame regrets ever working on it heavily.]] Director Frederik Du Chau and one of the writers, ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' co-director Kirk De Micco, didn't do another theatrical film for seven years, and both it and ''The King and I'' banished the career of another writer, David Seidler, from the cinemas until 2010.
* ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead'' (1995) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $18.6 million. It started a slump of underperforming Creator/SamRaimi movies for the next several years.
* ''Film/TheQuietAmerican'' (2002) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $27,573,124. This film was an AcclaimedFlop, but it still hurt the director and writers, one of whom, co-writer Robert Schenkkan, didn't write another cinematic screenplay until ''Film/HacksawRidge'' in 2016. It also halted actress Do Thi Hai Yen's chance at breaking through to American film, as this ended up being the only non-Vietnamese production she appeared in.
* ''Film/{{Quills}}'' (2000) -- Budget, $13.5 million. Box office, $7,065,332 (domestic), $18 million (worldwide).
* ''Film/QuizShow'' (1994) -- Budget, 31 million. Box office, 24.8 million.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:R]]
* ''Film/{{RAD}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,015,882. This was Hal Needham's final theatrical film (his final directed film period got ScrewedByTheLawyers and wound up a DirectToVideo release). ''RAD'' is noteworthy for having the most severe case of CriticalDissonance on Rotten Tomatoes (0% from critics, 91% from the audience. This CriticalDissonance allowed ''RAD'' to become a top rental video for several years.
* ''Film/RadioDays'' (1987) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $14,792,779.
* ''Film/RadioFlyer'' (1992) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $4,651,977. This could have been Creator/RichardDonner's last movie if not for ''Film/LethalWeapon3'' just three months later.
* ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'' (1977) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $1.35 million. The film suffered a hugely TroubledProduction due to CreativeDifferences between the producers and director Richard Williams, who took the project to help fund ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler''. The end result was criticized for its thin plot, overabundance of musical numbers and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids overly]] DerangedAnimation. It was never released on home video past VHS, though it ended up becoming a CultClassic thanks to the aforementioned animation.
* ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $11.1 million. This was part of a string of flops for producer Dino De Laurentiis but it still [[AcclaimedFlop received glowing reviews and award nominations]]. Director Milos Forman rebounded a few years later with his next Oscar winner, ''Theatre/{{Amadeus}}'', but screenwriter Michael Weller waited eight years before his next film. This marked the final appearance of screen veterans and constant co-stars Creator/JamesCagney and Pat O'Brien, and early appearances of, among others, Creator/SamuelLJackson, Creator/JeffDaniels and Debbie Allen.
* ''Film/RaiseTheTitanic'' (1980) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $7 million. The production was [[TroubledProduction beset with problems]], and prompted Lew Grade to remark that "it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic." The movie running into its own killer iceberg in the box office helped bring about the [[CreatorKiller demise of Grade's ITC Entertainment]].[[note]]The final nail that sent ITC to the bottom of the Atlantic came a year later with the failure of ''The Legend of Franchise/{{the Lone Ranger}}''.[[/note]] This is also the only major motion picture directed by Jerry Jameson (he was put in after Stanley Kramer met an overdemanding Grade), who did not direct another non-TV movie for the rest of the century, and ''Raise The Titanic!'' made Clive Cussler, the author of the ''Dirk Pitt'' book upon which the film was based, disown the project and refuse to allow any film adaptations of his work for the next 20 years. He relaxed his mandate just in time for '''another''' big budget bomb featuring Dirk Pitt, ''Film/{{Sahara 2005}}'', which he hated even more than ''Raise The Titanic!''. It's fair to say there may be a long wait before the next big screen adaptation of a Cussler novel. This is the only theatrically released film featuring the ''UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic'' to be a serious bomb (this was also the last ''Titanic'' film made and released before the wreckage of the famed ship was discovered in 1985, proving that the ship broke in half in its 1,500+ deadly sinking in 1912), and no major theatrical film with the ''Titanic'' that was not a documentary would be made again until Creator/JamesCameron's [[Film/Titanic1997 smash hit]] in 1997 on the ship's 85th anniversary.
* ''Film/RaiseYourVoice'' (2004) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $14,867,514. This film resulted in the writing careers of Mitch Rotter and Sam Schreiber stillborn; it is the sole writing credit they have (Rotter still works as a producer).
* ''Film/RaisingHelen'' (2004) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $49,718,611.
* ''Film/Rampage1987'' -- Budget, $7.5 million. Box office, $796,368. It went unreleased in America for five years when its original distributor, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, went bankrupt before Creator/MiramaxFilms eventually picked it up and gave it a limited run. Director Creator/WilliamFriedkin also recut and changed the ending for US audiences.
* ''Film/RandomHearts'' (1999) -- Budget, $64 million. Box office, $31,502,583 (domestic), $74,608,570 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RapaNui'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $305,070. (Oui!) The next film director/writer Kevin Reynolds would write didn't come until 2016.
* ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank'' (2016) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12.3 million. It got caught up in the wake of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'s'' mammoth success despite the wide berth Focus Features, through the newly-resurrected Gramercy Pictures, gave that movie, and was also viewed as yet another case of VideoGameMoviesSuck by critics who were not familiar with the video game series (fans of the games were much more forgiving). This movie has already earned co-production company Rainmaker Entertainment a $10 million impairment charge, and they promptly blamed the failure on Disney when both their ''Zootopia'' animated classic AND Creator/JonFavreau's acclaimed [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 live-action reimagining]] of ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' wound up becoming elephant-sized successes (the third ''Captain America'' film and the first film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's Phase 3, ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', also came out the week after ''Ratchet and Clank'' hit theaters). Rainmaker, however, has not addressed the negative critical reception. Its failure in America resulted in it being denied a run in Australian cinemas in favor of going DirectToVideo. It became an instant OldShame for early writer T.J. Fixman, who tried to distance himself from the film in May, stating he had left production two years prior to release due to schedule conflicts and CreativeDifferences with director Kevin Munroe, who rewrote the screenplay. The other animated video game film from Rainmaker and Munroe that was supposed to be released in 2016, ''WesternAnimation/SlyCooper'', was cancelled and [[http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/technicolor-sony-team-on-cg-sly-cooper-series/ replaced with a television series]] after this one's implosion, which also convinced Focus Features and Comcast/Universal to send the Gramercy Pictures label back into hibernation until further notice.
* ''The Raven'' (2012) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $16,008,272 (domestic), $29,657,751 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Ravenous}}'' (1999) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2,062,405. Blamable on 20th Century Fox marketing the film very poorly.
* ''Reach the Rock'' (1998) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $4,960.
* ''Film/ReadyToRumble'' (2000) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $12,453,363.
* ''Film/TheRealCancun'' (2003) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $5,345,083.
* ''Film/{{Rebound}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $33.1 million. Box office, $17,492,014.
* ''Film/{{Red 2}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $84 million. Box office, $53,262,560 (domestic), $148,075,565 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RedCorner'' (1997) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $22,459,274.
* ''Film/RedDawn2012'' -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $48,169,782. This remake of the [[Film/ RedDawn1984 1984 Cold War movie]] sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for two years due to MGM's finanical troubles, during which, the filmmakers decided to change the invading army from China to North Korea to avoid getting BannedInChina. It did so poorly that it [[ShaggyDogStory wasn't even released theatrically in China anyway]].
* ''Film/RedPlanet'' (2000) -- Budget, $80–100 million. Box office, $33,463,969. Director Antony Hoffman had no screen credits before this, and none after.
* ''Film/RedRockWest'' (1993) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $2,551,502. It killed the writing career of director John Dahl after he wrote three movies, but he continued his career as a director.
* ''Film/RedSonja'' (1985) -- Budget, $17.9 million. Box office, $6,948,633. This movie slaughtered the films connected to ''Conan the Barbarian'' that featured Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played a different character here, wrecked the SwordAndSorcery genre quite a bit, was a blow to Dino De Laurentiis, and was the semi-final major film directed by ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' director Richard Fleischer. The two men who wrote the film's script also never had a serious career in cinema afterwards. Any chances of this film going anywhere in the box office vanished quickly when it opened against ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Schwarzenegger sees ''Red Sonja'' as a gigantic OldShame for his career, as does lead Brigitte Nielsen (the latter won a Razzie for it). A remake has also since been stuck in DevelopmentHell.
* ''Film/RedTails'' (2012) -- Budget, $58 million. Box office, $50,365,377. This is the last film from Lucasfilm that 20th Century Fox and producer and ''Star Wars'' veteran Rick [=McCallum=] had any involvement in, for The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and all their assets only months after ''Red Tails'' failed to leave an impact at the box office, severing Lucasfilm's ties with Fox for the most part after 35+ years and forcing [=McCallum=] to retire from the studio (founder George Lucas was also asked to leave per the terms of the deal, but he remained somewhat attached and was honored as a Disney Legend in 2015; [=McCallum=], who is partially responsible for the Special Editions of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, which created the infamous BrokenBase of the franchise and became SnarkBait, was completely kicked out of Lucasfilm by the Mouse House and hasn't been mentioned by them on a high level or taken part in another American movie since). This is also the only cinematic film directed by Anthony Hemingway and written by ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' showrunner Aaron [=McGruder=].
* ''Film/{{Redacted}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $65,388 (domestic), $716,053 (worldwide). Director Creator/BrianDePalma took a years-long sabbatical from Hollywood-level filmmaking.
* ''Film/{{Redline}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $8,267,379. The film was an attempt by subprime lender and gambler Daniel Sadek and his firms, Quick Loan Funding and Chicago Pictures, to get into filmmaking to show off both his fiancee and his collection of cars, with Sadek borrowing against possible profits for the film. When the film crashed and burned at the box office and with critics, it not only halted Sadek's move into movies, but it crushed his subprime loan business and, along with lawsuits from Wells Fargo and the Bellagio casino regarding his gambling, led to his personal bankruptcy. The film itself, which included a scene of two expensive cars crashing and had controversy over cast member Eddie Griffin crashing a $1.5 million car himself, was called an example of excess for the subprime loan market before it crashed by a CNBC report and resulted in Sadek getting called "Predator Zero for the Subprime Mortgage Game" by ''Vanity Fair''. As for director and professional stuntman Andy Cheng, he never directed again.
* ''Film/{{Regression}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $17.6 million. This film's poor critical and commercial performance has the potential of sending director/producer Alejandro Amenabar's career into [[CreatorKiller permanent regression]] (this was his first movie since 2009).
* ''Film/ReignOfFire'' (2002) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $43,061,982 (domestic), $82,150,183 (worldwide). Writer Matt Greenberg didn't write another film for 5 years, and this is the second-to-last theatrical job for director Rob Bowman.
* ''Film/ReignOverMe'' (2007) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $19,661,987 (domestic), $22,222,308 (worldwide). One of the few Creator/AdamSandler films to not be despised by critics (it was a drama rather than a comedy, and actually received [[AcclaimedFlop okay reviews]]), its producer, Jack Binder, didn't work another movie for 5 years, and Sandler proceeded to shut down the drama division of Creator/HappyMadisonProductions, Mr. Madison 23.
* ''Film/ReindeerGames'' (2000) -- Budget, $42 million. Box office, $32.1 million.
* ''Film/TheRelic'' (1997) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $33,956,608. Writing duo Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver didn't get another theatrical credit after this until ''RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' fourteen years later. It almost killed production company Cloud Nine Entertainment though some box office hits shortly after saved them.
* ''Film/TheReluctantDragon'' (1941) -- Budget, $600,000. Box office, $400,000. Walt Disney made this movie to showcase his studio's new headquarters in Burbank, recover money after the losses of ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', and stave off a strike from some of Walt's former animators. The strikers foiled this by picketing the film, and critics were disappointed in the movie being mostly live-action.
* ''Film/RemoWilliamsTheAdventureBegins'' (1985) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $15 million. This film of ''Literature/TheDestroyer'' novels is [[StillbornFranchise its only cinematic outing]]. The book series survives to this day [[OutlivedItsCreator with new authors]].
* ''Film/RenaissanceMan'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $24,332,324. Co-producer Sara Colleton did not get another screen credit until 2001, after which she mostly stuck to television with material such as ''Series/{{Dexter}}''.
* ''Theatre/{{Rent}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $31,670,620.
* ''Rent-a-Cop'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $295,000. Director Jerry London only did television movies after this film's failure.
* ''Film/TheReplacementKillers'' (1998) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,204,929.
* ''Film/TheReplacements'' (2000) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $50,054,511.
* ''Film/RepoMen'' (2010) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $18,409,891.
* ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' (2008) -- Budget, $8.5 million. Box office, $188,126. It never went past a limited release, though it became a CultClassic.
* ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'' (1990) -- Budget, $37,931,000. Box office, $27,931,461 (domestic), $47,431,461 (worldwide). This is unsurprising, given what it was [[Film/RockyV up]] [[Film/HomeAlone against]] (the opening box office gross was only $5 million, which prompted Jeffrey Katzenberg to call up the makers of the movie and inform them "It's over"; he cut the advertising). However, thanks to worldwide gross, it luckily didn't hamper Disney's then-fledgling Renaissance. It did however prompt Disney to make all its future DisneyAnimatedCanon sequels that continue the story of the original DirectToVideo and outside the canon until the sequels to ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' and ''Disney/WreckItRalph'', with the latter being announced in the middle of the second Disney Renaissance after that film's director's ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}''. (''Disney/{{Fantasia}} 2000'' and ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'', which came between ''The Rescuers Down Under'' and ''Wreck-It Ralph'', are semi-sequels that are part of the canon, but the former is considered a package film, and the latter is a new story that does not continue the story of its predecessor; ''Peter Pan II: Return To Neverland'' and ''The Jungle Book 2'' '''were''' released theatrically, but they don't count as part of the canon). Plans for a third ''Rescuers'' movie were nixed following both this movie's disappointing box office take AND the death of co-lead Bianca's voice actress, Eva Gabor (this was her final film role before her death in 1995), and Disney made the remaining movies of the Disney Renaissance contain at least 4 musical numbers each (this film had no songs apart from a few singing snippets by a comic relief character, Wilbur, and the BigBad, [=McLeach=]). ''The Rescuers Down Under'' is remembered fondly, however, for being popular with critics and for performing well in the VHS market under the [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Walt Disney Classics]] brand 10 months after its theatrical release.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution'' (2012) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $42,345,531 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $240,004,424 (worldwide)]].
** ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'' (2017) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $26,830,068 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $312,242,626 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/{{Restoration}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $4,005,941.
* ''Restless'' (2011) -- Budget, $8 million, Box office, $163,265. The only movie actress Bryce Dallas Howard attempted to produce, and Gus Van Sant would not produce another movie for 4 years.
* ''Film/TheReturnOfSwampThing'' (1989) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $192,816. This prompted a [[Series/SwampThing television adaptation]] which returned to the DarkerAndEdgier tone of the [[Film/SwampThing original movie]].
* ''Film/ReturnToOz'' (1985) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $11,137,801. Disney's TruerToTheText adaptation of the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' books [[note]]In particular, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz.[[/note]] was criticized for its DarkerAndEdgier take on the material, especially in comparison to the much more well-known ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. This remains the only film directed by editor and sound designer Walter Murch, who returned to those lines of work ever since. Disney's next attempt at an Oz film was the much more successful ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''.
* ''Film/ReturnToParadise'' (1998) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $8.3 million. This, ''Money Train'', and the critical hatred towards ''Film/TheGoodSon'' all delivered a severe blow to the career of director Joseph Ruben.
* ''Film/ReturnToTheBlueLagoon'' (1991) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,807,854. An OldShame for star Creator/MillaJovovich. Director William Graham never worked on another theatrical film after this one crashed, writer Leslie Stevens only wrote one other cinematic film, ''Gordy'' by Disney, before he died, and no further attempts to make a ''Literature/TheBlueLagoon'' movie have surfaced after this and three previous adaptations were created.
* ''Revenge'' (1990) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $15,645,616.
* ''Film/{{Revolution|1985}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $358,574. ExecutiveMeddling led to the film being released at Christmas when it wasn't even finished. Creator/AlPacino didn't make another movie for four years.
* ''Rhinestone'' (1984) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $21 million. Possibly a CreatorKiller for director Bob Clark, whose theatrical career turned low-key from then on after this film. Music/DollyParton also took several years off before appearing in another movie.
* ''Film/RichardIII'' (1995) -- Budget, 6 million GBP/$7,880,400. Box office, 2,044,239.81 GBP/$2,684,904. [[AcclaimedFlop One of the most critically acclaimed films that year]], but the adaptation of the Creator/WilliamShakespeare play still hung the careers of director Richard Loncraine and co-producer Stephen Bayly; Bayly moved on to the U.K.'s National Film and Television school, and Loncraine did not direct another theatrical film for 9 years.
* ''Film/RichieRich'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $38,087,756. Along with ''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'' 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.
* ''Film/RidingInCarsWithBoys'' (2001) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $35,743,308. This is the last film that Creator/PennyMarshall has directed to date. After this, co-producer Sara Colleton's career has been mainly in TV.
* ''Film/TheRightStuff'' (1983) -- Budget, estimated between $19 million to $27 million. Box office, $21,192,102. The triple-hit knockout of this film, ''WesternAnimation/TwiceUponATime'', and ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'' (the third of which became the unfortunate victim of ExecutiveMeddling) led to the film's executive producer Alan Ladd, Jr. to shut down his production company and leave Warner Bros., and while he was appointed executive of MGM/UA just a year after the third aforementioned film's release, he would not return to his own and produce another film until ''Film/{{Braveheart}}''.
* ''Film/RighteousKill'' (2008) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $40,081,410 (domestic), $78,460,699 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Ringmaster}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $9,257,103. A failed attempt for controversial talk show host Creator/JerrySpringer to get into movies.
* ''Film/{{RIPD}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $130 million. Box office, $78,324,220. This film was a StarDerailingRole for Ryan Reynolds until the 2016 adaptation of ''Film/{{Deadpool}}''; he did low-budget films until then.
* ''Film/RideWithTheDevil'' (1999) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $635,096. (Oh wow).
* ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' (2012) -- Budget, $145 million. Box office, $103,412,758 (domestic), $306,941,670 (worldwide). Due to marketing and promotional costs the movie ended up losing [=DreamWorks=] and Paramount $83 million and resulted in the layoffs of 350 [=DreamWorks=] employees. This was also the final film containing the name "[=DreamWorks=]" to be distributed by Paramount for a while after rising tensions between them and founder Jeffrey Katzenberg led to Fox becoming the new distribution partner for the Shrek Shack (the live-action arm had already abandoned Paramount 3 years earlier for Katzenberg's other major pre-Creator/DreamWorksAnimation studio, Disney; a few Paramount projects in the future will have [=DreamWorks=] attached to them after their deal with Disney ended). ''Rise of the Guardians'' also was the first in a series of flops that led to Katzenberg agreeing to sell his studio to Comcast/Universal and end his involvement with the studio apart from [=DreamWorks=] New Media and NOVA in 2016, while Philippe Dauman, who helped drive both sides of [=DreamWorks=] out, got the ax from Paramount/Viacom the same weekend Katzenberg left DWA.
* ''Film/TheRiver'' (1984) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $11,489,982.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'' (2000) -- Budget, $95 million. Box office, $76,432,727. The first box-office bomb from Creator/DreamworksAnimation. Plans for sequels were cancelled due to its lackluster take, and the series became a StillbornFranchise as a result. This is one of several traditionally animated films at the turn of the millennium that sent the genre into the sunset until Disney's ''The Princess and the Frog''. After this and ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' 4 years later (the latter has the worst RT rating for a Creator/DreamWorksAnimation film and was ripped apart for being a ''Finding Nemo'' wannabe with [[MemeticMutation "Will Smith]] [[SpecialEffectsFailure fish]]", putting a major dent in DWA's reputation), director Eric "Bibo" Bergeron's American directing career [[CreatorKiller sank like a stone]]; his next theatrical film was French and didn't come until 2011. ''El Dorado'' is also the second and last time Music/EltonJohn and Music/TimRice would work together, with their other teamup being on the music for DWA founder Jeffrey Katzenberg's final Disney film, ''The Lion King'', and this film's failure ensured that ''The Lion King'' would be more fondly remembered. The rush by Katzenberg to get this film out ahead of Disney's ''The Emperor's New Groove'' (another buddy comedy in Mesoamerica) also led animator Will Finn to defect back to Disney and turned the film into an OldShame for him (sadly, this move led him to direct ''Home On The Range'' at Disney, which was a much bigger bust and derailed his career and 2D animation). ''El Dorado'' did become a CultClassic.
* ''Film/TheRoadToWellville'' (1994) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $6,562,513.
* ''Film/{{Roar}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $2 million. This movie went through a decade-long DevelopmentHell involving the makers' big cats both getting caught in a flood (some of them died) and the big cats (lions and tigers) killing several crew members. The flood upped the budget by $3 million. This film ultimately was never released in Unites States theaters and came DirectToVideo in sparse quantities there, and it didn't last long in international theaters, though the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater company, through their Drafthouse Films subsidiary, did reissue it in 2015. The film's failure resulted in producer and star Tippi Hedren establishing a foundation to keep their lions and having to take smaller roles. The film ended her marriage to director Noel Marshall; this was his sole directing acting/writing job, and he only worked one more film in 1988 before he died.
* ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'' (1993) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $35.7 million. This was another blow to Creator/MelBrooks's career. [[Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt His next film]] ended his cinematic run for good. It was VindicatedByCable, though.
* ''Film/RobinHood2010'' -- Budget, $200 million. Box office, $105,669,730 (domestic), $321,669,741 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Robocop 3}}'' (1993) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $10,696,210. [[FranchiseKiller Killed]] the film franchise for over 21 years before [[Film/{{Robocop2014}} the 2014]] ContinuityReboot, which also flopped (at least domestically) and again killed the film franchise.
* ''Film/RoboCop2014'' -- Budget, $100 million (not counting marketing costs), $130 million (counting them). Box office, $58,607,007 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $242,688,965 (worldwide)]]. Despite being rescued by foreign gross, that didn't stop the media from honoring it as one of the biggest box office flops of 2014, grossing only a muggy $21.5 million on its opening weekend domestically.
* ''Film/RobotJox'' (1990) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1.2 million.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' (1991) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $11,657,385. This film sank Creator/DonBluth's studio into bankruptcy, though it would survive to make three more critical and commercial busts (''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'', and ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin''), and turned star Glen Campbell into a laughingstock; Campbell would never return to the big screen again. It also led to child actor Toby Scott Granger, who played the lead child in this film, to fade out from the entertainment business within 5 years; he only really appeared in a few ''WesternAnimation/DisneySingAlongSongs'' videos after this. Finally, Creator/ChristopherPlummer, who voiced the villain of the film, did not do another theatrically released animated film until 2009; one of his movies that year was as the villain of Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'' (1983) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, '''$30,379'''. Yes, only thirty thousand bucks. The film received no promotion from MGM in either its original American release, nor its home video release.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockDog'' (2017) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $20,830,546. It also did poorly during its original 2016 Chinese release.
* ''Film/RockOfAges'' (2012) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $59,418,613.
* ''Film/RockStar'' (2001) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $19,334,145.
* ''Film/RockTheKasbah'' (2015) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $3,020,664.
* ''Film/TheRocker'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $8,767,338.
* ''Film/TheRocketeer'' (1991) -- Budget, $40 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office, $46.7 million. This film was released in the shadow of ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'' and it had the Walt Disney Pictures tag attached to it minus the "Blue Castle" VanityPlate, which was a turnoff to many people (international releases put it under TouchstonePictures instead). It DID do very well on video, gaining an additional $23 million, but it wasn't enough to prevent the intended film series from [[StillbornFranchise being grounded]]. The film's video performance and TV airings ultimately led to director Joe Johnson directing SpiritualSuccessor ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' for ''The Rocketeer's'' 20th anniversary and ultimately led to the sequel getting greenlit at last in 2016.
* ''Film/{{Rollerball}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $25,852,764. It promptly [[StarDerailingRole ended]] Chris Klein's mainstream career, and was one of the last films John [=McTiernan=] directed; he never got a chance to recover before being sent to prison when he committed perjury to the F.B.I. concerning his relationship with shady private eye Anthony Pellicano, who was convicted of wiretapping and other crimes; [=McTiernan=] served his sentence between April 2013 and February 2014 and declared bankruptcy during that time.
* ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' (1936) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $962,000 (domestic), $2,075,000 (worldwide). Recorded loss, $922,000. This version of the Shakespeare play infamously cast middle-aged actors Leslie Howard (43) and Norma Shearer (34) as the teenaged StarCrossedLovers. While the film received some critical praise and four Academy Award nominations, the film's lukewarm reception kept the Bard off-screen until Creator/LaurenceOlivier's ''Theatre/HenryV'' eight years later. This was the last film produced by Irving G. Thalberg, Shearer's husband, who died on the night of its premiere. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as one of MGM's best films.
* ''WesternAnimation/RomeoAndJulietSealedWithAKiss'' (2006) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $463,002. This TastesLikeDiabetes animated film only saw release in 26 theaters, though it's mostly notable for being one of the only movies made with UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash to be released to theaters, and almost entirely by one man (former Disney animator Phil Nibbelink) to boot.
* ''Film/RomeoIsBleeding'' (1993) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,275,585. Director Peter Medak did not direct again for 5 years, and it poisoned the producing career of Hilary Henkin, who also only got one more writing credit.
* ''Roommates'' (1995) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $12,096,881. This ended the A-list career of director Peter Yates. It was also a major blow to co-star D.B. Sweeney’s theatrical film career, as he hasn’t lead another live-action release since, mostly sticking to TV and voiceovers; Fortunately, he’s rebounded a bit this decade.
* ''Film/{{Rosewood}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $13,130,349.
* ''Film/TheRover'' (2014) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2,295,423.
* ''Anime/RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise'' (1987) Budget, ¥800,000,000 ($7.1 million). Box office, ¥347,000,000 ($3.1 million). Creator/StudioGainax's first anime production received [[AcclaimedFlop great reviews]] and the UsefulNotes/SeiunAward, but was overshadowed by Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind. Gainax rebounded the following year with the Anime/{{Appleseed}} and Anime/GunBuster {{OVA}}s.
* ''Film/RubyCairo'' (1992) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $608,866. (OMG).
* ''[[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie]]'' (1998) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $113,484. [=GoodTimes=] Entertainment's only ever attempt at a theatrical feature film, it had animation on par with their direct-to-video movies, with most of the budget going to A-list actors, and the rights to use Rudolph and a Music/PaulMcCartney song. Getting released in the middle of [[UsefulNotes/{{Halloween}} October]] might have also played a part.
* ''Film/RulesDontApply'' (2016) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $3,652,206 (domestic). This was the first movie in 15 years that Warren Beatty has made.
* ''Film/TheRumDiary'' (2011) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $23,947,544.
* ''Film/RumbleFish'' (1983) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $2,494,480.
* ''Film/RumorHasIt'' (2005) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $43,000,262 (domestic), $88,933,562 (worldwide).
* ''Run'' (1991) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4,409,328.
* ''Film/RunAllNight'' (2015) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $26,461,644 (domestic), $66,961,644 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RunawayJury'' (2003) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $49,443,628 (domestic), $80,154,140 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheRundown'' (2003) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $80,916,492.
* ''Film/RunnerRunner'' (2013) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,316,646 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $62,675,095 (worldwide).]]
* ''Running'' (1979) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $2.8 million. This was sold to TV for $5 million before being released. Director Steven Hilliard Smith has mostly focused on TV movies after this.
* ''Running Free'' (1999) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $117,608.
* ''Film/RunningScared2006'' -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $9,380,029.
* ''Film/{{Rush|1991}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $7,241,350.
* ''[[Film/RushHour Rush Hour 3]]'' (2007) -- Budget, $140 million. Box office, $140 million (domestic), $258 million (worldwide). It was regarded as a major case of {{Sequelitis}} and it [[FranchiseKiller put the brakes on the film series]]. A TV series reboot ran in 2016.
* ''Film/RustlersRhapsody'' (1985) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $6,090,497.

* ''FIlm/NakedLunch'' (1991) -- Budget, $17-$18 million. Box office, $2,641,357. This film baffled critics such as ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' due to its content, and likely baffled audiences as well.
* ''Film/NateAndHayes'' (1983) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1.9 million (domestic). This film was an attempt by Paramount, then under Michael Eisner, to capitalize on the success of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' through a pirate angle, but it failed, and helped contribute to the genre getting pushed onto the backburner (''Cutthroat Island'' would hang the genre the next decade outside of Disney's ''Pirates Of The Caribbean'' movies, which also started under Eisner).
* ''Film/NationalLampoonsMovieMadness'' (1983) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $5,027,193. Originally finished in 1981, it sat on the shelf for two years under the name ''National Lampoon Goes To The Movies''. While it was critically despised and failed badly, it didn't slow ''National Lampoon'' down at all.
* ''Film/NearDark'' (1987) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3.4 million. Part of a string of box office underperformers for director Eric Red, though this one became a CultClassic.
* ''Film/NeedForSpeed'' (2014) -- Budget, $66 million. Box office, $43,511,047 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $203,211,047]] (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheNeonDemon'' (2016) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $3,559,803.
* ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIITheNextChapter'' (1990, 1991) -- Budget, $36 million. Box office, $17 million (domestic), $56,468,971 (worldwide). Thanks to a long gap between movies, only one actor from the first film, the librarian, returned for ''[=NeverEnding=] Story II.'' While it was a hit worldwide, it couldn't recoup its costs in America, as it got a horrible reception from critics and fans for the plot. Its failure in America didn't stop a third film from being made, but it DID influence its final fate.
** ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIIIEscapeFromFantasia'' (1994, 1995) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $5 million ([[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Germany]]), possibly less than $10,000 (domestic). Following part 2's poor reception, the third entry in the series, which has no basis on Michael Ende's novel and none of the actors from the other movies, originally received a limited release in the United States. ''[=NeverEnding Story III=]'' proceeded to get an [[UpToEleven EVEN WORSE]] [[{{Sequelitis}} RECEPTION]] than the previous entry due to further aggravating the characters and plot problems beyond what ''II'' did, making Falkor and the Rock Biter OutOfCharacter, and completely omitting Atreyu and the series's theme song. The rock-bottom reception prevented ''[=NeverEnding=] Story III'' from getting a general wide release in the U.S. until Creator/MiramaxFilms and Disney bought the distribution rights and brought it DirectToVideo 2 years later. It's one of the few films Creator/JackBlack sees as an OldShame, it erased writer Jeff Lieberman's cinematic career for a decade (except for one documentary), and it effectively [[{{Irony}} ended]] the ''[[FranchiseKiller Neverending Story]]'' in America.
* ''[[Literature/PippiLongstocking The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking]]'' (1988) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,569,939. One of two attempts in America to adapt the literary classic. This movie and ''The Pirate Movie'' sunk director Ken Annakin's career, and ''Pippi'' derailed the stardom of her actress, Tami Erin.
* ''New Jersey Drive'' (1995) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,565,508. Part of a year's slate that earned Gramercy Pictures shutdown threats from Universal.
* ''Film/{{Newsies}}'' (1992) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $2,819,485. This was originally intended to be a drama, but the higher-ups at maker Disney ordered it turned into a musical in an attempt to revive live-action versions of musicals on the back of the Disney Renaissance films ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' and ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast''. This move angered star Creator/ChristianBale, and the film's failure convinced him never to do another musical (after he lent a voice to ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' first) and led to Disney's plans backfiring and keeping live-action musicals [[GenreKiller out of business]] until their next major attempt with ''High School Musical'' succeeded at this film's job. Eventually became a CultClassic and earned a considerably better received stage adaptation in 2011, which also happens to be a musical.
* ''Film/NewYorkMinute'' (2004) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $21,289,826. Derailed the careers of Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen (Ashley no longer acts) and killed off their production company Dualstar.
* ''Film/NewYorkNewYork'' (1977) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $16.4 million. Its famously TroubledProduction was an early sign of the beginning of the end of UsefulNotes/NewHollywood and would've derailed Creator/MartinScorsese's career for good if not [[Film/RagingBull for his next movie]]. Its title track became a BreakawayPopHit.
* ''Film/{{Next}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $18,211,013 (domestic), $76,066,841 (worldwide).
* ''The Next Best Thing'' (2000) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $24,362,772. This is the last time John Schlesinger took up a director's job in his life, and this, among other movies, knocked Rupert Everett into B list of actors.
* ''Film/TheNiceGuys'' (2016) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $33,364,096 (domestic), $50,364,096 (worldwide). Despite [[AcclaimedFlop glowing reviews from critics]], this was released in the midst of one of the ugliest box office summers in cinema history, and could not make up the budget as a result despite almost all of the big-budget competition getting worse reviews than ''Nice Guys'' got.
* ''Film/NickOfTime'' (1995) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $8,175,346 (domestic). This film's failure [[CreatorKiller sniped down]] director John Badham's cinematic career; he made just one more cinematic film before moving to television.
* ''Film/NightAndTheCity'' (1992) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $6,202,756.
* ''[[Film/NightAtTheMuseum Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb]]'' (2014) -- Budget, $127 million. Box office, $113,746,621 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $363,204,635 (worldwide).]] This was Creator/RobinWilliams' and Creator/MickeyRooney's final film (the former committed suicide due to depression, the latter died of old age). Creator/ShawnLevy hasn't directed another film since.
* ''Film/ANightInHeaven'' (1983) -- Budget, $6,000,000. Box office, $5,563,663.
* ''Film/NightOfTheDemons2009'' -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $64,040. Originally premiering at the London Frightfest in 2009, this film ultimately came Direct-To-DVD.
* ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter'' (1955) -- Budget, $750,000. Box office, $300,000 (US rentals). The first and only feature film directed by Creator/CharlesLaughton. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as an all time masterpiece and its SinisterMinister villain has been [[FountainOfExpies expied]] and spoofed over the years.
* ''Film/{{Nightbreed}}'' (1989) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $8.8-8.9 million. Director Clive Barker originally produced a 2 and a half hour cut of this movie, but 20th Century Fox, who wanted a straight-up horror film and a "''Star Wars'' of Horror" trilogy, did some serious work on it in the editing room and doing reshoots, which led editor Richard Marden to RageQuit. The final cut was 102 minutes, and earned bad reviews from critics, which [[StillbornFranchise killed the trilogy idea]] right out of the gates. Barker wouldn't direct again for 5 years. The original cut would not surface until the 25th anniversary in 2014.
* ''Film/NilByMouth'' (1997) -- Budget, $9 million. Box office, $266,130. This is the only movie Creator/GaryOldman wrote and directed, and while it got some decent reviews, it also earned notoriety for having the most usage of the word "cunt" (it also abused the F-Bomb).
* ''Film/NineLives2016'' -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,700,032 (domestic), $44,224,244 (worldwide). Another victim of 2016's Summer Bomb Buster, seeing as how it was released with a menagerie of flopped tentpole films. This movie was utterly eviscerated by critics (the consensus on Website/RottenTomatoes is "Not meow, not ever", and this is after [[NotScreenedForCritics they could review it at all]]) and was [[CurbStompBattle utterly pulverized]] by ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}'', which opened the same day. This could very well end up a CreatorKiller for director Creator/BarrySonnenfeld and a StarDerailingRole for Creator/KevinSpacey once ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' comes to an end. A disastrous start for French film studio [=EuropaCorp=]'s US distribution unit, it would be followed by two more flops, ''Shut In'' and ''Miss Sloane''.
* ''Film/NinjaAssassin'' (2009) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $38,122,883 (domestic), $61,601,280 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Nixon}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $44 million. Box office, $13,681,765. Co-writer Christopher Wilkinson didn't write another screenplay for 6 years.
* ''No Escape'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $15.3 million. Director Martin Campbell rebounded with ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'' the next year.
* ''Film/NoGoodDeed2002'' -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $181,600 (faints). Was unfortunate enough to have a very limited release (402 theaters).
* ''Film/NoLookingBack'' (1998) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $222,099.
* ''Film/{{Noah}}'' (2014) -- Budget, $125 million. Box office, $101,200,044 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $362,637,473 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/NocturnalAnimals'' (2016) -- Budget, $22.5 million. Box office, $10,663,357 (domestic), $29,252,978 (worldwide).
* ''Theatre/NoisesOff'' (1992) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2.2 million.
* ''WesternAnimation/NormOfTheNorth'' (2016) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $16.9 million (domestic), $22.6 million (worldwide). Trevor Wall's first animated feature directing job, this now has the potential to be his last. Two DirectToVideo sequels have been announced, but this film getting iced by nearly every critic in show business and immediately getting supplanted in bear entertainment by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's third ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3 movie]] could put those plans and any further animation plans from Lionsgate in hot water.
* ''Film/{{North}}'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $7,182,747. Noteworthy for getting a [[RogerEbertMostHatedFilmList "hate" rant]] from Creator/RogerEbert and a "It's junk. First class junk" accusation from Ebert's partner Creator/GeneSiskel. Those negative reviews, along with dozens of others, and the intense summer competition of 1994, ultimately ensured the film's failure. Writers Alan Zweibel and Andrew Scheinman never worked another movie until the end of the 90's, and Creator/RobReiner's career has never recovered. This film's infamy also resulted in it only being available on VHS until 2012, and it has never been released on Blu-ray.
* ''Film/NorthCountry'' (2005) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $18,337,722 (domestic), $25,211,175 (worldwide). Niki Caro didn't direct another American theatrical film until ''Mcfarland, USA'' ten years later.
* ''No One Lives'' (2013) -- Budget, $2,900,000. Box office, $74,918. Despite its high budget, WWE screened this film in limited release across 53 theaters only.
* ''Film/NotFadeAway'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $427,000. Paramount basically gave this one the InvisibleAdvertising treatment as it was dumped onto the market with almost no trailers, TV or Internet spots or posters.
* ''Film/NotWithoutMyDaughter'' (1991) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $14,789,113. The message about women being held against their will that this film attempted to convey unfortunately got overshadowed by the controversy over its portrayal of Islam and Iran, and criticism of the music from Jerry Goldsmith and star Sally Field getting a Razzie nomination for the film did not help (and the last strike was, of course, the film failing in theaters and with critics, losing money for MGM/UA and derailing director Brian Gilbert's career). Alexis Kouros countered the film with his own documentary, ''Without My Daughter'', which was endorsed by Betty Mahmoody's then-husband, Sayed Mahmoody, whose feud with his wife over their daughter was the focus of the original flop.
* ''Film/NothingButTrouble'' (1991) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $8,479,793. This served as star Creator/DanAykroyd's only directorial effort behind the camera.
* ''Film/{{Novocaine}}'' (2001) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $2,036,682. This movie turned director/writer David Atkins's career [[CreatorKiller rotten]]; he's only done an internet series about himself since. It also was part of a year's slate that put production company Artisan Entertainment on life support; they would rebound the next year before being absorbed by Lionsgate.
* ''Film/NowYouSeeMe2'' (2016) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $64,923,129 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $316,602,995 (worldwide)]]. One of the victims of 2016's Summer Bomb Buster, being released alongside ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', ''TMNT: Out of the Shadows'', ''Finding Dory'', and others. It managed to escape the blitzkrieg in international cinemas, however.
* ''Film/NurseBetty'' (2000) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,360,400. One of the movies that led to Gramercy Pictures winding up in the morgue until 2015.
* ''Film/TheNutcracker1993'' -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $2,119,994. The start of Macaulay Culkin's acting career downfall, as the next year would see the child actor star in not one, but THREE flops (''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'', ''Film/ThePagemaster'', and ''Film/RichieRich'', in that order). After that, he would not appear in another feature film until 2003. This was also the final theatrical film from director Emile Ardolino, who died from AIDS 4 days before the film opened, and it's the sole movie that record producer Robert Hurwitz has a credit on.
* ''Film/TheNutcrackerIn3D'' (2010) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $14,678,086, nearly all of which [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales came from the Russian market]]. This sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for three years to get a 3D conversion. The end result was universally despised by critics and died a quiet death in limited release. It derailed director Andrei Konchalovsky's career for four years.

* ''The Obama Effect'' (2012) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $110,000.
* ''Film/OCAndStiggs'' (1987) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $29,815. Creator/RobertAltman's first major studio film since ''{{Film/Popeye}}'' was a much bigger fiasco. It sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for three years before getting a perfunctory release.
* ''Occupy Unmasked'' (2012) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $40,952. A botched attempt at a very critical look at the Occupy movement. This is one of the last pieces of work to have involved Andrew Breitbart, who died that year, his comrade, future Creator/DonaldTrump ally Steve Bannon, did not direct another documentary until the 2016 election year, and producer David Bossie did not get another credit until that year.
* ''Oceans'' (2010) -- Budget, $80 million (marketing included). Box office, $19,422,319 (domestic), $82,651,439 (worldwide). This Disneynature documentary suffered due to competition from Paramount and [=DreamWorks=] Animation's ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' and Creator/LionsGate's ''Film/KickAss''.
* ''Offending Angels'' (2002) -- Budget, £70,000. Box office, '''[[EpicFail around £89]]'''. This was a smash hit on the festival circuit, but it received mixed to negative reviews upon release. It didn't help that original financier Ardent Productions was going through financial difficulties at the time, and the job went to Guerilla Films.
* ''Film/Oldboy2013'' -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $4,861,022. This remake of the ''[[Film/Oldboy2003 2003]]'' Creator/ParkChanWook film was deemed a case of ItsTheSameNowItSucks and it was the penultimate film for Film District before it was absorbed into Focus Features.
* ''Old Gringo'' (1989) -- Budget, $27 million. Box office, $3,574,256.
* ''Film/OliverTwist'' (2005) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $42,580,321.
* ''Film/OnceUponACrime'' (1992) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $8,669,847.
* ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' (1993) -- Budget, $13 million. Box office, $6,582,052. This film was devoured by negative critical reviews and ''Film/JurassicPark'', but was successful on home video. Director Charles Grosvenor didn't direct another movie for 4 years, and after that next movie, a remake of ''Babes In Toyland'', Grosvenor never returned to cinema and his directing career would be focused solely on the series of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' DirectToVideo sequels. It would also be 3 years before screenwriter Kelly Ward wrote his second and last theatrical screenplay, returning to family television.
* ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'' (1984) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $5,321,508. Was [[ExecutiveMeddling butchered]] before its release despite protests from director and co-writer Creator/SergioLeone, whose career [[CreatorKiller crumbled]] following its negative reception by critics and audiences. It has since been VindicatedByHistory and is regarded as one of Leone's greatest masterpieces, alongside the ''[[Series/DollarsTrilogy Dollars]]'' [[Series/DollarsTrilogy Trilogy]].
* ''Film/OnDeadlyGround'' (1994) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $38.5 million. This VanityProject was the first and last film directed by Creator/StevenSeagal (barring some alleged uncredited work on a few DVD films). This film was part of a series of blows that, along with ''The Patriot'' and ''Fire Down Below'', knocked out Seagal's action star career in Hollywood and sent him packing to direct-to-DVD shelves.
* ''Film/OnTheLine'' (2001) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4,403,019.
* ''Film/OnTheRoad'' (2012) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $8,784,318. Crashed the career of director Walter Salles.
* ''Film/TheOne'' (2001) -- Budget, $49 million. Box office, $43,905,746 (domestic), $72,689,126 (worldwide).
* ''One Eight Seven'' (1997) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $5,716,080.
* ''Film/OneForTheMoney'' (2012) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $36,893,721. This film of the first ''Literature/StephaniePlum'' novel was shrugged by critics and audiences but [[ApprovalOfGod author Janet Evanovich liked it]]
* ''One from the Heart'' (1982) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $636,796. This film [[CreatorKiller bankrupted]] Francis Ford Coppola, with most of his work for the next two decades being done [[MoneyDearBoy to pay off the debts he accrued from making it]]. Like ''Film/HeavensGate'', it also heavily contributed to the end of the UsefulNotes/NewHollywood era.
* ''Film/OneTrueThing'' (1998) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $26,616,840.
* ''One, Two, Three'' (1961) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $4 million. This political satire set in West Berlin was overshadowed by the construction of the Berlin Wall, which began four months before the film's release. Creator/JamesCagney had such a negative experience with this movie that he stayed off the big screen until ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'', his final film role.
* ''Onegin'' (1999) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $206,128 (Ouch). The fact that it was released in '''6''' theaters didn't help.
* ''Film/OneNightAtMcCools'' (2001) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $13,473,370.
* ''Film/{{One Night Stand|1997}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $2,618,335. This came after ''Leaving Las Vegas'', and the failed experiment of a film put a crutch on the career of director Mike Figgis.
* ''The Only Game in Town'' (1970) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1.5 million. The film's box office failure led to acclaimed director George Stevens' complete retirement from directing.
* ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' (2012) -- Budget, $20 million ($60 million when marketing is factored in). Box office, $1,065,907. The [[TastesLikeDiabetes triple-G-rated]] film produced by Kenn Viselman (who was instrumental in importing ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' to the United States) has become infamous for its absolutely dismal theatrical run. Notably, it '''underperformed ''Delgo''''' in its opening weekend, becoming the new worst opening weekend for a film playing in around 2,000 theaters. Despite this, [[http://theweek.com/article/index/232799/how-the-oogieloves-became-the-biggest-box-office-bomb-of-all-time sequels remain desired]].
* ''Film/TheOppositeSex'' (1956) -- Budget, $2,834,000. Box office, $1,735,000 (domestic), $2,760,000 (worldwide). Cost MGM $1,513,000.
* ''Film/TheOrder'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $11,559,747.
* ''Film/OriginalSin2001'' -- Budget, $42 million. Box office, $35,402,320. The fatal directing/writing career sin for Michael Cristofer, who never directed again and never wrote another screenplay; he would only create a story for one more film in 2005.
* ''Theatre/{{Oscar}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $23,562,716.
* ''Film/OsmosisJones'' (2001) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $14,026,418. This film's failure didn't stop an [[WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix animated spinoff]] from debuting on the Kids' WB! Saturday morning block the next year, which ran for 2 seasons. In addition, [[VindicatedByVideo the film performed well in the home video/DVD market]], but this didn't stop the film from poisoning the A list reputation of the Farrelly Bros., who directed the live-action parts of the movie (they haven't attempted anything with animation since; it was also one of two films that year, the other being ''Pootie Tang'', that put Chris Rock in a bad spot). Part of a short series of bombs for Warner Bros. Animation, and the next film, ''Looney Tunes: Back In Action,'' would shutter the division until ''The Lego Movie'' in 2014.
* ''Film/TheOtherSister'' (1999) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,807,627 (domestic). This film's failure, along with Mandeville Films' founder David Hoberman temporarily going to work for Hyde Park Entertainment for the next few years, led to Mandeville not getting another film into theaters for 5 years.
* ''Film/OurBrandIsCrisis'' (2015) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $7 million.
* ''Film/OutOfTheFurnace'' (2013) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $15,660,668.
* ''Out of Time'' (2003) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $41,088,845 (domestic), $55,495,563 (worldwide).
* ''The Out-of-Towners'' (1999) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $28,544,120. The first of three box office misfires that sent director Sam Weisman's career over the horizon.
* ''Outcast'' (2014-2015) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $4.8 million. This film hasn't helped the careers of ''Star Wars'' alumni Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage much; for Cage, he also had the second take on ''Left Behind'' the same year.
* ''Film/{{Outlander}}'' (2008) -- Budget, $47 million. Box office, $7,033,683, nearly all of which came from overseas.
* ''Film/OverTheTop'' (1987) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $16,057,580. This is one of the films that eventually did in The Cannon Group. Director Menahem Golan was reassigned as a B to C list director when this movie failed, and it also T.K.Oed the film careers of writer Stirling Silliphant and actor David Mendenhall.
* ''Film/TheOxBowIncident'' (1943) -- Budget, $565,000. Box office, $750,000 (US rentals). Fox placed this on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for a few months due to its sobering themes. It was [[AcclaimedFlop highly praised by critics]] and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture (its only nomination), but it was outgrossed by one of the studio's Creator/LaurelAndHardy films.

[[folder:P]]
* ''Film/PacificRim'' (2013) -- Budget, $190 million (plus an unknown but presumably huge marketing budget). Box office, $101,802,906 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $411,002,906 (worldwide).]] Was very popular in China, where it made the most money. Same can't be said for its domestic totals, being beaten financially by the critically mauled ''[[Film/GrownUps Grown Ups 2]]'', despite this movie's [[AcclaimedFlop good to great reviews.]] The movie did well enough to spawn a 2018 sequel ''Pacific Rim: Uprising''.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster'' (1994) -- Budget, $21 million. Box office, $13.7 million. Along with ''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'' and ''Film/RichieRich'', 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 one, however, was partially salvaged by home video sales. The director of this film's animated portions, Pixote Hunt (credited as Maurice here), didn't get another directing credit until the opening number in ''Disney/{{Fantasia 2000}}'', and ''The Pagemaster'' is the only time live-action director Joe Johnston has attempted to work a movie that involved animation.
* ''Film/ThePaintedHills'' (1951): Budget: $667,000. Box Office: $1,085,000. Recorded loss: $122,000. This DarkerAndEdgier installment of MGM's ''Lassie'' series nearly [[FranchiseKiller killed the franchise]], but the beloved collie's transition to television revived public interest.
* ''Film/PaintYourWagon'' (1969): Budget: $20 million. Box Office: $31.7 million. Although it was the sixth highest-grossing film of the year, it came out when movie musicals were on the decline and it failed to make back its high budget. Creator/ClintEastwood and Creator/LeeMarvin's singing abilities bared the brunt of the film's negative reviews, though the latter's rendition of the ballad "Wandrin' Star" became a surprise hit. This was the [[CreatorKiller final film]] for director Joshua Logan and would be memorably parodied in Series/TheSimpsons in 1998. One bright side is that the film's TroubledProduction gave Eastwood valuable experience for his later directorial career.
* ''Film/ThePallbearer'' (1996) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $5,656,388. Director Matt Reeves took a 4-year leave from cinema, and writer Jason Katims didn't work in cinema again until 2012, sticking with television.
* ''Film/{{Pan}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $150 million. Box office, $35,088,320 (domestic), $128,309,320 (worldwide). This one is an OldShame for Rooney Mara, who caused heavy controversy after she landed the role of the traditionally Native American character Tiger Lily. Mara said had she known the controversy this was going to cause, she never would have taken that role. Critics agree the whitewashing was the least of the film's problems, though...
* ''Film/{{Pandorum}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $20,645,327. This and another Christian Alvart-directed film, ''Film/Case39'', sent his career back to Germany, where it's been since.
* ''Film/{{Panic}}'' (2000) -- Budget, $1 million. Box office, $779,137 (domestic sub-total). 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.
* ''Film/{{Paparazzi}}'' (2004) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $16,796,512.
* ''Film/ParadiseRoad'' (1997) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $2,007,100.
* ''Film/Paranoia2013'' -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $13,385,015. Notable for having the lowest-grossing opening weekend in Creator/HarrisonFord's career.
* ''Literature/ParanoidPark'' (2008) -- Budget, $3 million. Box office, $486,767 (domestic), $4,545,747 (worldwide).
* ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'' (2012) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $56,003,051 (domestic), $107,139,399 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Parker}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $17,616,641 (domestic), $48,543,388 (worldwide).
* ''{{Film/Passengers|2016}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $110 million. Box office, $100,014,699 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $303,144,152 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/{{Passion}}'' (2012) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $92,181 (domestic), $1,393,407 (worldwide). Brian De Palma's first movie after his hiatus in the late 2000s, ''Passion'' only played in 14 theaters stateside, hence the low gross. De Palma has not announced any projects since this movie.
* ''Film/PassionOfMind'' (2000) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $769,000. The first English film from Belgian director Alain Berliner... and considering the negative reactions to the script, it showed. He never did another theatrical American film.
* ''Film/{{Pathfinder}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $30,822,861.
* ''Film/PatriotsDay'' (2017) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $44,352,284.
* ''Film/{{Paycheck}}'' (2003) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $53,790,451 (domestic), $96,269,812 (worldwide). Was part of a [[Film/{{Gigli}} very]] [[Film/{{Daredevil}} bad]] [[Film/JerseyGirl slump]] of movies around the early 2000s that helped damage star Ben Affleck's career until his CareerResurrection a few years later. This was also the last Hollywood film Creator/JohnWoo worked on before moving back to Hong Kong, where he continues to make movies.
* ''Film/PayItForward'' (2000) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $33,519,628 (domestic), $55,707,411 (worldwide). It killed director Mimi Leder's cinematic career until 2009.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'' (1995) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $3,983,912. Became victim of constant ExecutiveMeddling, with many of the voices getting rerecorded and characters heavily edited. It was the last production of Creator/DonBluth's studio before he and co-director Gary Goldman moved to Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox (their partner, John Pomeroy, returned to Disney). Bluth was so embarrassed with the film's final results that [[AlanSmithee he had his name removed from the credits]].
* ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' (2014) -- Budget, $132 million. Box office, $81,268,373 (domestic), $320,483,373 (worldwide). And that's not even counting the advertising budget. [=DreamWorks=] Animation had already been suffering from previous box office stings, but this film delivered the biggest blow to the studio. After the studio predicted it would make a $49 million loss at theaters[[note]]which was bigger than their previous $15 million loss prediction[[/note]], studio shares tumbled ''six percent'' the following month, and forced the company to [[http://www.cartoonbrew.com/business/breaking-dreamworks-animation-will-shut-down-pdidreamworks-studio-over-500-jobs-will-be-eliminated-108161.html terminate five hundred employees (including Chief Creative Officer Bill Damaschke and newly installed Chief Operating Officer Mark Zoradi) and shut down PDI]]. This film and the chain of critical or commercial disappointments led to Jeffrey Katzenberg selling the studio to Comcast/Universal and divesting his interests in the firm after 22 years.
* ''Film/PenniesFromHeaven'' (1981) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $9 million. This was critically [[AcclaimedFlop acclaimed]], but bombed anyway. ''Pennies From Heaven'', ''Film/{{Heartbeeps}}'', and ''Film/{{Annie|1982}}'', led to Bernadette Peters dropping off the big screen until the end of the 80's.
* ''Film/PeopleIKnow'' (2003) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $5.7 million.
* ''Film/ThePeopleVsLarryFlynt'' (1996) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $20,300,385. The reason for the gross coming in below the budget was the film only screened in limited release (that said, [[AcclaimedFlop it was a hit with critics and the audience in said limited release).]]
* ''Film/ThePerezFamily'' (1995) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,669,359.
* ''Film/{{Perfect}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12,918,858.
* ''Film/APerfectGetaway'' (2009) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $15,515,460 (domestic), $22,852,638 (worldwide).
* ''Film/ThePerfectMan'' (2005) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $19,770,475. A lot of the people who took part in this movie (Creator/HilaryDuff, Creator/HeatherLocklear, Mike O'Malley, Creator/ChrisNoth, Caroline Rhea, director Mark Rosman) took severe damage to their cinematic careers, but most have found success in television (and music for Duff).
* ''Film/ThePerfectScore'' (2004) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $10,876,805.
* ''Film/PerfectStranger'' (2007) -- Budget, $60.8 million. Box office, $23,984,949 (domestic), $73,090,611 (worldwide). One of the most heavily panned films of 2007, it derailed the cinematic career of director James Foley, who did not direct another film for 10 years.
* ''The Perfect Weapon'' (1991) -- Budget, $10 million (estimated). Box office, $14,061,361. The first of three films and bombs for screenwriter David C. Wilson, and he did not write his second, ''Supernova'', until 2000. This is also the last of two films producer Mark [=DiSalle=] ever directed.
* ''Film/PerfumeTheStoryOfAMurderer'' (2006) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $2,223,293 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $135,039,943 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/ThePest'' (1997) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $3.5 million.
* ''Film/PeterPan'' (2003) -- Budget, $100 million (not counting marketing costs), $130.6 million (counting them). Box office, $48,462,608 (domestic), $121,975,011 (worldwide). The film's failure, thanks to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings a much bigger adventure film released the same month]], caused distributor Universal's parent company to sell off 80 percent of the studio's stake to Creator/{{NBC}}'s parent, General Electric, which formed a partnership that later became [=NBCUniversal=].
* ''Film/{{Phantom}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $1,197,759.
* ''Film/ThePhantom1996'' -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $17,323,326.
* ''Film/{{Phobia}}'' (1980) -- Budget, $5.1 million. Box office, $59,167.
* ''Film/PhysicalEvidence'' (1989) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $3,560,932. Creator/MichaelCrichton never returned to the director's chair for the rest of his life after this movie bombed out.
* ''Disney/PigletsBigMovie'' (2003) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $23,103,423 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $63 million (worldwide)]]. The budget for the next ''Winnie-The-Pooh'' movie from Disneytoon, ''The Heffalump Movie'', was trimmed a bit, and then there wouldn't be another ''Pooh'' film in theaters until 2011.
* ''Pimp'' (2010) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, '''[[EpicFail £205]]'''. This was mauled by critics so badly it was yanked from UK theaters after '''one screening.''' It would be seven years before director/star Robert Cavanagh would direct another film.
* ''Film/PinkCadillac'' (1989) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $12,143,484. This movie, along with ''Film/SlavesOfNewYork'', [[StarDerailingRole ran Bernadette Peters's cinematic career back off the road]] after she took a seven year hiatus from the big screen for her role in several bombs at the beginning of the 80's. The stage actress and singer has not been in a leading role in movies she appears in since 1989.
* ''Film/ThePinkPanther2'' (2009) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $35,922,978 (domestic), $75,946,615 (worldwide). The '''third''' FranchiseKiller for ''Franchise/ThePinkPanther'' film series, and no further ''Pink Panther'' films have been announced since then.
* ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' (1940) -- Budget, $2,289,247. Box office, $1.4-1.9 million (original theatrical release tally only). The outbreak of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII hurt this film badly, and, along with ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'s'' initial disappointing releases and a bitter strike from animators, 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. ''Pinocchio'' has since been considered one of Walt's [[AcclaimedFlop best,]] along with ''Fantasia'' and ''Bambi'', as its later theatrical reissues kept making money until the 1984 reissue, which grossed $26 million and was the second most successful movie release that Christmas. This prompted new Disney CEO Michael Eisner to override his colleagues Jeffrey Katzenberg and Roy E. Disney and release ''Pinocchio'' on video as the second release in the [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Walt Disney Classics line]], where it sold very well and was crucial in the overall development of home entertainment. The film's main theme, "When You Wish Upon a Star", had become the central theme of Disney by that point and is the jingle in the Walt Disney Pictures VanityPlate.
* Roberto Benigni's ''Pinocchio'' (2003) -- Budget, 40 million euros ($39.4 million). Box office, 41,323,171 euros ($40.7 million; worldwide). This movie pulverized Benigni's career.
* ''WesternAnimation/PinocchioAndTheEmperorOfTheNight'' (1987) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,261,638. This entered development after Filmation began getting hammered financially, so they decided to create a sequel to Walt Disney's Signature Classic ''Pinocchio''. Problem was, they attempted to do this without Disney's input, and the newly cristened Walt Disney Company was angered and sued Filmation to stop production right away. The suit was defeated with a public domain argument, but Filmation still altered the design to avoid any further controversy. Their attempt to stay relevant failed, and Filmation was forced to shutter in 1989, with their other unofficial sequel, ''Happily Ever After'', being stuck in limbo until 1993, when it also tanked and drove another nail into the studio's coffin.
* ''Literature/PippiLongstocking'' (1997) -- Budget, $11.5 million. Box office, $505,335. One of two attempts in North America to adapt the literary classic. However, HBO executives were impressed enough by the film to launch a television series based on it.
* ''Film/ThePirateMovie'' (1982) -- Budget, AUS$6 million. Box office, $1,013,000 Australian dollars (Australia), US$8 million (worldwide). This movie and ''The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking'' sunk director Ken Annakin's career, and ''Pirates'' short-circuited politician Ted Hamilton's attempt to become an actor (he helped provide development funds for a few more movies such as Disney's ''The Flight Of The Navigator'', but never went before a movie camera again).
* ''Film/PirateRadio'' (2009) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $36,348,784.
* ''Film/{{Pirates}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $1,641,825. A giant blow to the career of director Creator/RomanPolanski, who was thrown overboard and marooned in the B-list for the rest of the 20th century.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'' (2012) -- Budget, $55 million. Box office, $31,051,126 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $123,054,041 (worldwide)]]. This Creator/AardmanAnimations film opened in second place at the box office (behind ''Film/ThinkLikeAMan'', which was already on its second week) with a paltry $11.1 million and was promptly buried beneath ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' in its second week.
* ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' (1983) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $694,497. Due to Universal releasing the movie on Pay TV and in theaters simultaneously, only 92 theaters agreed to show it. It enjoyed a long run in one of those theaters and has since become a Cult Classic.
* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides'' (2011) -- Budget, $250 million (reported), $378.5 million (actual). Box office, $241,071,802 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $1,045,713,802 (worldwide)]]. Despite being the most expensive film of all time as of this writing and disappointing domestically, likely due to the absence of several main characters from the trilogy of preceding films, its cracking the billion-dollar mark worldwide saved it. Nonetheless, the series lay dormant (and Creator/JohnnyDepp went through a string of bombs) until...
** ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'' (2017) -- Budget, $230 million. Box office, $170,617,747 (domestic so far), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $767,277,322 (worldwide so far)]]. This film was released a whopping six years after its predecessor, suffered a very TroubledProduction due to Depp going through an ugly divorce from Creator/AmberHeard (the less said about it, the better), had {{Continuity Snarl}}s due to a different writing team, and overall just came off as a classic example of franchise fatigue.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $13,155,091. ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' hasn't ventured outside its DirectToVideo roots since this movie, and the franchise slowly fell out of the hands of original creators Big Idea afterwards.
* ''Film/{{Pixels}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $110 million (production only), $145 million (plus marketing). Box office, $78.7 million (domestic), $244.9 million (worldwide). Opened a week after ''Film/AntMan'', which was bad enough -- and a day after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Lafayette_shooting a shooting at a movie theater]] (at the premiere of a film with a significantly lower profile -- and one that made a ''lot'' more money in the long run); the next week saw the release of the fifth ''Film/MissionImpossible'' movie, ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'', and the [[Film/{{Vacation}} remake]] of ''Film/NationalLampoonsVacation,'' which, along with a resurging of ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'' and '''another''' [[http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/05/us/tennessee-theater-shooting/ theatre shooting]] [[note]] This one was second-run for ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' and, thankfully, no one besides the shooter died (although someone got hit in the shoulder with a hatchet) [[/note]] further jeopardized the film's chances of success. ''Pixels'' looks to be the latest in a string of Creator/AdamSandler starring flops and kept a terrible year for Sony going (it also has the potential of sending Josh Gad's career [[StarDerailingRole to the penalty box]] after his success with ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' and ''Theatre/TheBookOfMormon'').
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Planet51}}'' (2009) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $42,194,060 (domestic), $105,647,102 (worldwide). This and the Jack Black version of ''Gulliver's Travels'' dealt a heavy blow to screenwriter Joe Stillman's career.
* ''Platinum High School'' (1960) -- Budget, $627,000. Box office, $175,000 (domestic), $150,000 (international), $570,000 (worldwide). This led to MGM losing $270,000 on this project. It signaled the beginning of the end for Albert Zugsmith's producing career; he did not produce another film for 3 years and only produced two more films. Director Charles Haas also never directed another theatrical film, sticking with television.
* ''Film/PlayItToTheBone'' (1999) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $8,434,146.
* ''Film/PlayingByHeart'' (1999) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $3,970,078.
* ''Film/PlayingForKeeps'' (2012) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $27,805,632.
* ''Playing God'' (1997) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $4,166,918.
* ''Playtime'' (1967) -- Budget, 12-17 million francs. Box office, $2 million. The massive budget is due to the film's equally massive set and director and star Creator/JacquesTati filming it on 70mm film and using stereophonic sound. Its low gross is due to not many theatres being able to screen the film properly. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as Tati's all around masterpiece.
* ''Film/{{Pleasantville}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $49,805,462.
* ''Film/ThePledge'' (2001) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $29,419,291.
* ''Plunket & Macleane'' (1999) -- Budget, 8,490,000 British Pounds Sterling. Box office, $474,900 (United States), 2,757,485 British Pounds Sterling (total). This was the first of two directing jobs from the son of Ridley Scott, Jake, and he didn't make his second one for 11 years. It also didn't help Gary Oldman's producing career out too much.
* ''Anime/Pokemon4Ever'' (2001 in Japan, 2002 in the U.S.) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $1.7 million (domestic), $28 million (worldwide). You can pin the blame on this film's failure on distributor Creator/MiramaxFilms, who, after gaining the rights to the ''Pokémon'' movies from Warner Bros., dumped this film in a very limited amount of theaters. As a result, this film did not make as much money as the [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie previous]] [[Anime/Pokemon2000 three]] [[Anime/{{Pokemon3}} installments]] in the film adaptations of the long running anime, but the fifth film received a theatrical release anyway...
** ''Anime/PokemonHeroes'' (2002 in Japan, 2003 in the U.S.) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $746,381 (domestic), $20,867,919 (worldwide). Like ''[=4Ever=]'', Miramax gave this movie a limited release in the United States that ultimately failed. As a result, all the U.S. dubs of the ''Pokémon'' film franchise henceforth premiered as TV movies on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/DisneyXD except for ''Anime/PokemonTheMovieBlackAndWhite'' in 2011, which premiered as a one-weekend limited theatrical screening instead (in comparison, these films remain major theatrical releases in their home country of Japan to this day). However, a Hollywood live-action film based on ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachu'' is said to be in the works, meaning the ''Pokémon'' series could see a return to the big screens of the United States.
* ''Film/PointBreak2015'' -- Budget, $105 million. Box office, $28.8 million (domestic), $128.9 million (worldwide). A failed attempt to remake [[Film/PointBreak1991 the original 1991 film]].
* ''Film/PoliceAcademy 6: City Under Siege'' (1989) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $11,567,217 (domestic). The bad reception of this movie resulted in a 5-year hiatus before the next and last film...
** ''Film/PoliceAcademy: Mission To Moscow.'' (1994) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, believe it or not, $126,247. The very poor performance of this final entry killed the film franchise altogether. It was also director Alan Metter's last theatrically released movie, and he [[AlanSmithee disowned it]].
* ''Film/{{Pollyanna}}'' (1960) -- Budget, $2.5 million. Box office, unknown. It got strong reviews despite critics being initially pessimistic, but it failed to make it even halfway to a projected $6 million goal gross. No sequels to the movie were produced when it couldn't perform financially.
* ''Film/PoltergeistIII'' (1988) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $14,114,488. Killed off the ''Poltergeist'' theatrical movies until a reboot in 2015.
* ''Film/{{Pompeii}}'' (2014) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $23,219,748 (domestic), $117,831,631 (worldwide). [[CreatorKiller Production company Film District was absorbed into Focus Features after this film.]] It also [[StarDerailingRole buried the cinematic careers of its cast under ash]], with at least three of them (Kit Harrington of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Kiefer Sutherland of ''Series/TwentyFour'', and Sasha Roiz of ''Series/{{Grimm}}'') focusing back on television (though their screen credits after this are not completely dry).
* ''Film/PootieTang'' (2001) -- Budget, $7,000,000. Box office, $3,313,583. Roger Ebert accused this film of being "unfinished" and said "It was hardly a movie at all". This sentiment was shared by director Louis C.K., who was fired during editing and disowned the film, which was his last cinematic endeavor as director. One of two films that year, the other being ''Osmosis Jones'', that put Chris Rock in a bad spot.
* ''Film/{{Popeye}}'' (1980) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $49,823,037 (domestic), $60 million (worldwide). Even with this high gross, Paramount and co-producer Disney considered this movie to be a flop due to not reaching the expected gross target, plus it received mixed reviews from critics. Subsequently, Paramount bosses Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg would jump to Disney within 5 years. Screenwriter Jules Feiffer did not have another screenwriting credit on a full-length film until the end of the decade (and that movie is Feiffer's last film), and it's the last film Robert Evans produced before a cocaine trafficking conviction sent his life and career downhill for the 1980's. No other attempts to bring ''Popeye'' to the big screen have materialized since this film.
* ''Film/PopstarNeverStopNeverStopping'' (2016) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $9,496,130. After grossing a mere $4 million on its opening weekend, the film was kicked out of wide release after its second week. Universal hopes the film's [[AcclaimedFlop positive critical reception]] will help it gather a cult following in the home video market, enough to make its money back, similar to ''Film/ThisIsSpinalTap''.
* ''Theatre/PorgyAndBess'' (1959) -- Budget, $7 million. Box office, $3.5 million. This film version of Music/GeorgeGershwin's opera was only shown in a Roadshow Release due to its controversial subject matter. This was the last film produced by Samuel Goldwyn. It didn't help that the Gershwins [[DisownedAdaptation disliked the film]] due to its AdaptationDecay and have kept it out of circulation to this day.
* ''Film/{{Poseidon}}'' (2006) -- Budget, $160 million. Box office, $60,674,817 (domestic), $181,674,817 (worldwide). Suffered the unfortunate fate of being a film about a disaster at sea released when the Indian Ocean tsunami was still fresh on everyone's mind. Between that and the film's negative reviews, this marked the derailment of director Creator/WolfgangPetersen's career, as he hasn't helmed another feature since.
* ''Film/Possession2002'' -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $14,815,898.
* ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' (2007, 2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $146,741 (worldwide). An adaptation of an [[VideoGameMoviesSuck unpopular and controversial video game]] (it had only two games up to this film's release), the film itself was hampered by the opening scene trivializing the UsefulNotes/SeptemberEleventh terrorist attacks and turning the Al Qaeda terrorist organization into a bunch of comedy buffoons... among many other controversial issues too numerous to list (the ending with [[spoiler: President [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Bush]] and Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden also attracted all the wrong kinds of attention]]). The opening scene alone was enough to cause nearly ever US theater to pass on the film (it was in a total of 21 theaters in the US). To make things even worse, it came out one day after ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' with a harsh campaign saying it would destroy that film at the box office, which clearly did not happen. Most of the film's earnings came from non-US screenings. It was directed by Uwe Boll, which may explain much of this. An attempt at a sequel was blown up when Boll could not acquire the necessary funds.
* ''Film/ThePostman'' (1997) -- Budget, $80 million. Box office, $17,626,234. [[DuelingMovies Released on the same day as]] Creator/JamesCameron's ''Film/Titanic1997''. Where ''Film/{{Waterworld}}'' failed (since its gross actually exceeded its budget), ''The Postman'' succeeded in [[CreatorKiller ending]] Creator/KevinCostner's A-list status and his run as producer-director of his own movies. He would continue finding work as an actor (and even [[Film/OpenRange direct again]]), to relative success.
* ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $586,938. This is the only feature film that director Pierre [=Decelles=] and writers Jim Carlson and Terrence [=McDonnell=] have been involved in; the film's failure to leave a mark sent their careers back to television. This is also one of a handful of film adaptations of Creator/HannaBarbera programs that was sent to the theatrical dog pound, and Creator/TristarPictures wouldn't distribute another animated film until 2001.
* ''Film/{{Power}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $3.8 million.
* ''Literature/ThePowerOfOne'' (1992) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $2,827,107 (domestic). This film sent the career of director John G. Avildsen to the mat; he directed only two more films before the 20th century was out.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'' (2002) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $15 million (domestic). It had the bad fortune to open opposite ''Film/MenInBlackII'' on the same day, a widely anticipated sequel, and Warner Bros. (distributor of the PPG movie) exhausted their promotional energies to the first live-action ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' movie. Leaving much of the marketing campaign to Cartoon Network who didn't have a good widespread influence outside the channel. Its failure pretty much killed off any chance of there being another theatrical movie based off a Creator/CartoonNetwork original with all planned movies being made strictly for TV (at least until an ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' movie was announced in 2015, almost 13 years later). In some countries such as Japan, it was released DirectToVideo. [[TooSoon Having a large amount of scenes featuring the destruction of high-rise buildings and being released a little more that a year after the September 11 attacks couldn't have helped, either]].
* ''[[Film/PowerRangers2017 Power Rangers]]'' (2017) -- Budget, $100 million (production only). Box office, $85,364,450 (domestic), $140,246,402 (worldwide). The movie was released at a very poor time, coming out just after the mega-popular ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and ''[[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 Beauty and the Beast]]'', and had any potential earnings shot down by ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby'' and fellow bomb ''Film/GhostInTheShell'' the very next week. While Saban has plans for six movies, with this one even sporting a SequelHook, they are in jeopardy.
* ''Film/{{Prefontaine}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $589,304. (Wow).
* ''Film/PremiumRush'' (2012) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $31,083,599.
* ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'' (2016) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $16,374,328. Unlike the other two films Burr Steers directed, this one is both a box office failure '''and''' a critical failure, getting mixed reviews. It remains to be seen if this will bury his career any.
* ''Film/Priest2011'' -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $29,136,626 (domestic), $78,309,131 (worldwide).
* ''Film/PrimaryColors'' (1998) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $52,090,187. This was the last feature film written by Elaine May, who earned a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination for her script. It also didn't help that it was released early into the Clinton/Lewinsky Scandal (The film is a roman a clef about Clinton's first run for President).
* ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'' (2010) -- Budget, $200 million. Box office, $90,759,676 (domestic), $336,365,676 (worldwide). A heavily-promoted attempt from Creator/JerryBruckheimer and Disney to avert the VideoGameMoviesSuck trope. Instead of ending the trend, the adaptation of the game fell headlong into it.
* ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' (1997; all Box Office totals are inflated to the film's original release date) -- Budget, 2.1 billion Japanese Yen/$18.5 million. Box office, $2,298,191 (Eight weeks in the United States), $11 million (international), 14.5 billion Japanese Yen/$127.5 million (Japan; inflated at the time of the film's release). An attempt by American distributor Miramax's boss Harvey Weinstein to make edits to this film to get a PG rating in the States prompted Creator/StudioGhibli producer Toshio Suzuki to send him a katana with a note saying, "[[IncrediblyLamePun No Cuts!]]", on it to prevent the film from suffering the same fate as ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' and its CutAndPasteTranslation ''Warriors of the Wind''. It was a great success in Japan and is a critically acclaimed film, but Miramax/Disney chose to screen it only in arthouse theaters such as the Landmark Theatres chain (which may have actually helped its reputation).
* ''Film/TheProducers'' (2005) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $38,058,335. This version of the play/film is the one cinematic directing job for theatre director Susan Stroman.
* ''Film/{{Prom}}'' (2011) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $10,130,219. This movie's failure put the career of director Joe Nussbaum in indefinite time-out and helped get Disney studio chief Rich Ross expelled from the company.
* ''Film/{{The Promise|2016}}'' (2016) -- Budget, $90 million. Box office, $9,831,487.
* ''Promised Land'' (2012) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $8.1 million. The energy, gas, and oil companies from Shell to oilmen in Pennsylvania all had a negative outcry to the film's portrayal of fracking, prompting a CNBC report on the matter when Penn residents started a Facebook page after Focus Features filmed the movie in their neck of the woods. Star Creator/MattDamon, who is a heavy anti-oil man, and co-star/co-writer John Krasinski have yet to write a new script, and neither man would produce again until 2016. Director Gus Van Sant's cinema career would be deactivated for a few years as well.
* ''Film/ProofOfLife'' (2000) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $62,761,005. This gained considerable tabloid coverage for the off-screen romance of co-stars Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe. It also dealt with the death of David Morse's stand-in in an accident on the set.
* ''Prospero's Books'' (1991) -- Budget, £1,500,000. Box office, $1,750,301. This reinterpretation of ''Theatre/TheTempest'' was one of the earliest films to be edited with HDTV technology; it also received considerable attention for its MindScrew elements and bountiful nudity and it never left a limited release.
* ''Film/Psycho1998'' -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $37,141,130, though director Gus Van Saint claims the studio "broke even" financially. This film was heavily panned by critics for being a 90's shot-by-shot [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks remake]] of Creator/AlfredHitchcock's original [[Film/{{Psycho}} classic]] '''[[RecycledInSpace IN COLOR!]]''' (this included copying the original script from Joseph Stefano, who was credited as the screenwriter on this one as well). This prompted ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' to say, "Rent the Original". It sent Van Sant's career to the B-list (he also would not get another producer credit until 2005), helped convince Creator/VinceVaughn to shift his career to comedy, and this, several other box office bombs, and the controversy over coming out as a lesbian alongside Creator/EllenDegeneres derailed the A-list career of Creator/AnneHeche, who also went straight.
* ''Film/PublicEnemies'' (2009) -- Budget, $100 million. Box office, $97,104,620 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $214,104,620 (worldwide).]] This kept Michael Mann from directing another film until ''Film/{{Blackhat}}'', which also bombed.
* ''Pudsey the Dog: The Movie'' (2014) -- Budget, £2.5 million. Box office, £2.6 million. The movie starring Pudsey the dog, one half of the dancing duo Ashleigh and Pudsey[[note]]now Ashleigh and Sully due to the latter's death[[/note]], flopped in its opening week, only making £446,000 (for comparison, ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes'', which was released the same week, made four times as much in its opening week as ''Pudsey'' did in '''its whole theatrical run'''), and got a rare '''0%''' approval rating on Website/RottenTomatoes. This was also Pudsey's only theatrical adventure before his death in July 2017.
* ''Pulse'' (1988) -- Budget, $6 million. Box office, $40,397. One of several Columbia Pictures films greenlit by president David Puttnam before his departure in September 1987. This was left out to dry in limited release like most of the leftovers from Puttnam's slate.
* ''Punchline'' (1988) -- Budget, $15,000,000. Box office, $21,042,667. One of several films Columbia Pictures president David Puttnam greenlit before his departure in September 1987. This fared better than most of the leftovers from his slate but it still failed to recoup its costs. Director David Seltzer waited four years before he directed another film again.
* ''Film/PunchDrunkLove'' (2002) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $24,591,032. One of the few Creator/AdamSandler films to not be despised by critics (it was a drama rather than a comedy, and actually received [[AcclaimedFlop pretty good reviews]]), ''Punch-Drunk Love'' only had a limited release, and director Creator/PaulThomasAnderson and producer [=JoAnne=] Sellar would have a 5 year wait before their next movies (for Sellar, her next movie would be ''[[Film/TheWickerMan2006 The Wicker Man]]'', which also tanked).
* ''Film/PunisherWarZone'' (2008) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $10,100,036. This was director [[Film/GreenStreet Lexi Alexander's]] second to last movie (her final one being ''Lifted'') before her retirement from filmmaking due to constant ExecutiveMeddling from Creator/LionsGate; she now happily resides in television directing (though she would later come out of retirement to do a biopic about Wrestling/ChrisBenoit). The movie bombing also allowed Marvel to regain Comicbook/ThePunisher film rights and integrate the character into the 2015 ''Series/Daredevil2015'' Creator/{{Netflix}} show's second season; that show is part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
* ''Film/ThePurpleRoseOfCairo'' (1985) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,631,333. It did well in limited release as per Creator/WoodyAllen's usual output.
* ''Pushing Tin'' (1999) -- Budget, $33 million. Box office, $8,408,835.

[[folder:Q]]
* ''Film/QueenOfKatwe'' (2016) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $10,195,036. It did get [[AcclaimedFlop great reviews from critics]] though.
* ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'' (2002) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $30,336,800 (domestic), $45,479,110 (worldwide).
* ''Queens Logic'' (1991) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $612,781. Never got out of a limited release.
* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' (1998) -- Budget, $40,000,000 (Not counting marketing costs). Box office, $22,510,798 (domestic). A rare film in that its soundtrack became far more popular than the movie. This movie was the first in a series of animated misfires from Warner Bros. that led to ''Looney Tunes: Back In Action,'' which killed their animation department. Warner would not get a serious foothold in the theatrical animation industry until ''The Lego Movie'' in 2014. Creator/LaurenFaust worked on this movie and [[OldShame regrets ever working on it heavily.]] Director Frederik Du Chau and one of the writers, ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' co-director Kirk De Micco, didn't do another theatrical film for seven years, and both it and ''The King and I'' banished the career of another writer, David Seidler, from the cinemas until 2010.
* ''Film/TheQuickAndTheDead'' (1995) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $18.6 million. It started a slump of underperforming Creator/SamRaimi movies for the next several years.
* ''Film/TheQuietAmerican'' (2002) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $27,573,124. This film was an AcclaimedFlop, but it still hurt the director and writers, one of whom, co-writer Robert Schenkkan, didn't write another cinematic screenplay until ''Film/HacksawRidge'' in 2016. It also halted actress Do Thi Hai Yen's chance at breaking through to American film, as this ended up being the only non-Vietnamese production she appeared in.
* ''Film/{{Quills}}'' (2000) -- Budget, $13.5 million. Box office, $7,065,332 (domestic), $18 million (worldwide).
* ''Film/QuizShow'' (1994) -- Budget, 31 million. Box office, 24.8 million.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:R]]
* ''Film/{{RAD}}'' (1986) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,015,882. This was Hal Needham's final theatrical film (his final directed film period got ScrewedByTheLawyers and wound up a DirectToVideo release). ''RAD'' is noteworthy for having the most severe case of CriticalDissonance on Rotten Tomatoes (0% from critics, 91% from the audience. This CriticalDissonance allowed ''RAD'' to become a top rental video for several years.
* ''Film/RadioDays'' (1987) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $14,792,779.
* ''Film/RadioFlyer'' (1992) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $4,651,977. This could have been Creator/RichardDonner's last movie if not for ''Film/LethalWeapon3'' just three months later.
* ''WesternAnimation/RaggedyAnnAndAndyAMusicalAdventure'' (1977) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $1.35 million. The film suffered a hugely TroubledProduction due to CreativeDifferences between the producers and director Richard Williams, who took the project to help fund ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler''. The end result was criticized for its thin plot, overabundance of musical numbers and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids overly]] DerangedAnimation. It was never released on home video past VHS, though it ended up becoming a CultClassic thanks to the aforementioned animation.
* ''Literature/{{Ragtime}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $11.1 million. This was part of a string of flops for producer Dino De Laurentiis but it still [[AcclaimedFlop received glowing reviews and award nominations]]. Director Milos Forman rebounded a few years later with his next Oscar winner, ''Theatre/{{Amadeus}}'', but screenwriter Michael Weller waited eight years before his next film. This marked the final appearance of screen veterans and constant co-stars Creator/JamesCagney and Pat O'Brien, and early appearances of, among others, Creator/SamuelLJackson, Creator/JeffDaniels and Debbie Allen.
* ''Film/RaiseTheTitanic'' (1980) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $7 million. The production was [[TroubledProduction beset with problems]], and prompted Lew Grade to remark that "it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic." The movie running into its own killer iceberg in the box office helped bring about the [[CreatorKiller demise of Grade's ITC Entertainment]].[[note]]The final nail that sent ITC to the bottom of the Atlantic came a year later with the failure of ''The Legend of Franchise/{{the Lone Ranger}}''.[[/note]] This is also the only major motion picture directed by Jerry Jameson (he was put in after Stanley Kramer met an overdemanding Grade), who did not direct another non-TV movie for the rest of the century, and ''Raise The Titanic!'' made Clive Cussler, the author of the ''Dirk Pitt'' book upon which the film was based, disown the project and refuse to allow any film adaptations of his work for the next 20 years. He relaxed his mandate just in time for '''another''' big budget bomb featuring Dirk Pitt, ''Film/{{Sahara 2005}}'', which he hated even more than ''Raise The Titanic!''. It's fair to say there may be a long wait before the next big screen adaptation of a Cussler novel. This is the only theatrically released film featuring the ''UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic'' to be a serious bomb (this was also the last ''Titanic'' film made and released before the wreckage of the famed ship was discovered in 1985, proving that the ship broke in half in its 1,500+ deadly sinking in 1912), and no major theatrical film with the ''Titanic'' that was not a documentary would be made again until Creator/JamesCameron's [[Film/Titanic1997 smash hit]] in 1997 on the ship's 85th anniversary.
* ''Film/RaiseYourVoice'' (2004) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $14,867,514. This film resulted in the writing careers of Mitch Rotter and Sam Schreiber stillborn; it is the sole writing credit they have (Rotter still works as a producer).
* ''Film/RaisingHelen'' (2004) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $49,718,611.
* ''Film/Rampage1987'' -- Budget, $7.5 million. Box office, $796,368. It went unreleased in America for five years when its original distributor, De Laurentiis Entertainment Group, went bankrupt before Creator/MiramaxFilms eventually picked it up and gave it a limited run. Director Creator/WilliamFriedkin also recut and changed the ending for US audiences.
* ''Film/RandomHearts'' (1999) -- Budget, $64 million. Box office, $31,502,583 (domestic), $74,608,570 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RapaNui'' (1994) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $305,070. (Oui!) The next film director/writer Kevin Reynolds would write didn't come until 2016.
* ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank'' (2016) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $12.3 million. It got caught up in the wake of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'s'' mammoth success despite the wide berth Focus Features, through the newly-resurrected Gramercy Pictures, gave that movie, and was also viewed as yet another case of VideoGameMoviesSuck by critics who were not familiar with the video game series (fans of the games were much more forgiving). This movie has already earned co-production company Rainmaker Entertainment a $10 million impairment charge, and they promptly blamed the failure on Disney when both their ''Zootopia'' animated classic AND Creator/JonFavreau's acclaimed [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 live-action reimagining]] of ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' wound up becoming elephant-sized successes (the third ''Captain America'' film and the first film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse's Phase 3, ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', also came out the week after ''Ratchet and Clank'' hit theaters). Rainmaker, however, has not addressed the negative critical reception. Its failure in America resulted in it being denied a run in Australian cinemas in favor of going DirectToVideo. It became an instant OldShame for early writer T.J. Fixman, who tried to distance himself from the film in May, stating he had left production two years prior to release due to schedule conflicts and CreativeDifferences with director Kevin Munroe, who rewrote the screenplay. The other animated video game film from Rainmaker and Munroe that was supposed to be released in 2016, ''WesternAnimation/SlyCooper'', was cancelled and [[http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/technicolor-sony-team-on-cg-sly-cooper-series/ replaced with a television series]] after this one's implosion, which also convinced Focus Features and Comcast/Universal to send the Gramercy Pictures label back into hibernation until further notice.
* ''The Raven'' (2012) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $16,008,272 (domestic), $29,657,751 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Ravenous}}'' (1999) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2,062,405. Blamable on 20th Century Fox marketing the film very poorly.
* ''Reach the Rock'' (1998) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $4,960.
* ''Film/ReadyToRumble'' (2000) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $12,453,363.
* ''Film/TheRealCancun'' (2003) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $5,345,083.
* ''Film/{{Rebound}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $33.1 million. Box office, $17,492,014.
* ''Film/{{Red 2}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $84 million. Box office, $53,262,560 (domestic), $148,075,565 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RedCorner'' (1997) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $22,459,274.
* ''Film/RedDawn2012'' -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $48,169,782. This remake of the [[Film/ RedDawn1984 1984 Cold War movie]] sat on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment for two years due to MGM's finanical troubles, during which, the filmmakers decided to change the invading army from China to North Korea to avoid getting BannedInChina. It did so poorly that it [[ShaggyDogStory wasn't even released theatrically in China anyway]].
* ''Film/RedPlanet'' (2000) -- Budget, $80–100 million. Box office, $33,463,969. Director Antony Hoffman had no screen credits before this, and none after.
* ''Film/RedRockWest'' (1993) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, $2,551,502. It killed the writing career of director John Dahl after he wrote three movies, but he continued his career as a director.
* ''Film/RedSonja'' (1985) -- Budget, $17.9 million. Box office, $6,948,633. This movie slaughtered the films connected to ''Conan the Barbarian'' that featured Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played a different character here, wrecked the SwordAndSorcery genre quite a bit, was a blow to Dino De Laurentiis, and was the semi-final major film directed by ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' director Richard Fleischer. The two men who wrote the film's script also never had a serious career in cinema afterwards. Any chances of this film going anywhere in the box office vanished quickly when it opened against ''Film/BackToTheFuture''. Schwarzenegger sees ''Red Sonja'' as a gigantic OldShame for his career, as does lead Brigitte Nielsen (the latter won a Razzie for it). A remake has also since been stuck in DevelopmentHell.
* ''Film/RedTails'' (2012) -- Budget, $58 million. Box office, $50,365,377. This is the last film from Lucasfilm that 20th Century Fox and producer and ''Star Wars'' veteran Rick [=McCallum=] had any involvement in, for The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and all their assets only months after ''Red Tails'' failed to leave an impact at the box office, severing Lucasfilm's ties with Fox for the most part after 35+ years and forcing [=McCallum=] to retire from the studio (founder George Lucas was also asked to leave per the terms of the deal, but he remained somewhat attached and was honored as a Disney Legend in 2015; [=McCallum=], who is partially responsible for the Special Editions of the original ''Star Wars'' trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy, which created the infamous BrokenBase of the franchise and became SnarkBait, was completely kicked out of Lucasfilm by the Mouse House and hasn't been mentioned by them on a high level or taken part in another American movie since). This is also the only cinematic film directed by Anthony Hemingway and written by ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' showrunner Aaron [=McGruder=].
* ''Film/{{Redacted}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $5 million. Box office, $65,388 (domestic), $716,053 (worldwide). Director Creator/BrianDePalma took a years-long sabbatical from Hollywood-level filmmaking.
* ''Film/{{Redline}}'' (2007) -- Budget, $26 million. Box office, $8,267,379. The film was an attempt by subprime lender and gambler Daniel Sadek and his firms, Quick Loan Funding and Chicago Pictures, to get into filmmaking to show off both his fiancee and his collection of cars, with Sadek borrowing against possible profits for the film. When the film crashed and burned at the box office and with critics, it not only halted Sadek's move into movies, but it crushed his subprime loan business and, along with lawsuits from Wells Fargo and the Bellagio casino regarding his gambling, led to his personal bankruptcy. The film itself, which included a scene of two expensive cars crashing and had controversy over cast member Eddie Griffin crashing a $1.5 million car himself, was called an example of excess for the subprime loan market before it crashed by a CNBC report and resulted in Sadek getting called "Predator Zero for the Subprime Mortgage Game" by ''Vanity Fair''. As for director and professional stuntman Andy Cheng, he never directed again.
* ''Film/{{Regression}}'' (2015) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $17.6 million. This film's poor critical and commercial performance has the potential of sending director/producer Alejandro Amenabar's career into [[CreatorKiller permanent regression]] (this was his first movie since 2009).
* ''Film/ReignOfFire'' (2002) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $43,061,982 (domestic), $82,150,183 (worldwide). Writer Matt Greenberg didn't write another film for 5 years, and this is the second-to-last theatrical job for director Rob Bowman.
* ''Film/ReignOverMe'' (2007) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $19,661,987 (domestic), $22,222,308 (worldwide). One of the few Creator/AdamSandler films to not be despised by critics (it was a drama rather than a comedy, and actually received [[AcclaimedFlop okay reviews]]), its producer, Jack Binder, didn't work another movie for 5 years, and Sandler proceeded to shut down the drama division of Creator/HappyMadisonProductions, Mr. Madison 23.
* ''Film/ReindeerGames'' (2000) -- Budget, $42 million. Box office, $32.1 million.
* ''Film/TheRelic'' (1997) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $33,956,608. Writing duo Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver didn't get another theatrical credit after this until ''RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' fourteen years later. It almost killed production company Cloud Nine Entertainment though some box office hits shortly after saved them.
* ''Film/TheReluctantDragon'' (1941) -- Budget, $600,000. Box office, $400,000. Walt Disney made this movie to showcase his studio's new headquarters in Burbank, recover money after the losses of ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', and stave off a strike from some of Walt's former animators. The strikers foiled this by picketing the film, and critics were disappointed in the movie being mostly live-action.
* ''Film/RemoWilliamsTheAdventureBegins'' (1985) -- Budget, unknown. Box office, $15 million. This film of ''Literature/TheDestroyer'' novels is [[StillbornFranchise its only cinematic outing]]. The book series survives to this day [[OutlivedItsCreator with new authors]].
* ''Film/RenaissanceMan'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $24,332,324. Co-producer Sara Colleton did not get another screen credit until 2001, after which she mostly stuck to television with material such as ''Series/{{Dexter}}''.
* ''Theatre/{{Rent}}'' (2005) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $31,670,620.
* ''Rent-a-Cop'' (1988) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $295,000. Director Jerry London only did television movies after this film's failure.
* ''Film/TheReplacementKillers'' (1998) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,204,929.
* ''Film/TheReplacements'' (2000) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $50,054,511.
* ''Film/RepoMen'' (2010) -- Budget, $32 million. Box office, $18,409,891.
* ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' (2008) -- Budget, $8.5 million. Box office, $188,126. It never went past a limited release, though it became a CultClassic.
* ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'' (1990) -- Budget, $37,931,000. Box office, $27,931,461 (domestic), $47,431,461 (worldwide). This is unsurprising, given what it was [[Film/RockyV up]] [[Film/HomeAlone against]] (the opening box office gross was only $5 million, which prompted Jeffrey Katzenberg to call up the makers of the movie and inform them "It's over"; he cut the advertising). However, thanks to worldwide gross, it luckily didn't hamper Disney's then-fledgling Renaissance. It did however prompt Disney to make all its future DisneyAnimatedCanon sequels that continue the story of the original DirectToVideo and outside the canon until the sequels to ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' and ''Disney/WreckItRalph'', with the latter being announced in the middle of the second Disney Renaissance after that film's director's ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}''. (''Disney/{{Fantasia}} 2000'' and ''Disney/WinnieThePooh'', which came between ''The Rescuers Down Under'' and ''Wreck-It Ralph'', are semi-sequels that are part of the canon, but the former is considered a package film, and the latter is a new story that does not continue the story of its predecessor; ''Peter Pan II: Return To Neverland'' and ''The Jungle Book 2'' '''were''' released theatrically, but they don't count as part of the canon). Plans for a third ''Rescuers'' movie were nixed following both this movie's disappointing box office take AND the death of co-lead Bianca's voice actress, Eva Gabor (this was her final film role before her death in 1995), and Disney made the remaining movies of the Disney Renaissance contain at least 4 musical numbers each (this film had no songs apart from a few singing snippets by a comic relief character, Wilbur, and the BigBad, [=McLeach=]). ''The Rescuers Down Under'' is remembered fondly, however, for being popular with critics and for performing well in the VHS market under the [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Walt Disney Classics]] brand 10 months after its theatrical release.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilRetribution'' (2012) -- Budget, $65 million. Box office, $42,345,531 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $240,004,424 (worldwide)]].
** ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'' (2017) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $26,830,068 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $312,242,626 (worldwide)]].
* ''Film/{{Restoration}}'' (1995) -- Budget, $19 million. Box office, $4,005,941.
* ''Restless'' (2011) -- Budget, $8 million, Box office, $163,265. The only movie actress Bryce Dallas Howard attempted to produce, and Gus Van Sant would not produce another movie for 4 years.
* ''Film/TheReturnOfSwampThing'' (1989) -- Budget, Unknown. Box office, $192,816. This prompted a [[Series/SwampThing television adaptation]] which returned to the DarkerAndEdgier tone of the [[Film/SwampThing original movie]].
* ''Film/ReturnToOz'' (1985) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $11,137,801. Disney's TruerToTheText adaptation of the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' books [[note]]In particular, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz.[[/note]] was criticized for its DarkerAndEdgier take on the material, especially in comparison to the much more well-known ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. This remains the only film directed by editor and sound designer Walter Murch, who returned to those lines of work ever since. Disney's next attempt at an Oz film was the much more successful ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''.
* ''Film/ReturnToParadise'' (1998) -- Budget, $14 million. Box office, $8.3 million. This, ''Money Train'', and the critical hatred towards ''Film/TheGoodSon'' all delivered a severe blow to the career of director Joseph Ruben.
* ''Film/ReturnToTheBlueLagoon'' (1991) -- Budget, $11 million. Box office, $2,807,854. An OldShame for star Creator/MillaJovovich. Director William Graham never worked on another theatrical film after this one crashed, writer Leslie Stevens only wrote one other cinematic film, ''Gordy'' by Disney, before he died, and no further attempts to make a ''Literature/TheBlueLagoon'' movie have surfaced after this and three previous adaptations were created.
* ''Revenge'' (1990) -- Budget, $35 million. Box office, $15,645,616.
* ''Film/{{Revolution|1985}}'' (1985) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $358,574. ExecutiveMeddling led to the film being released at Christmas when it wasn't even finished. Creator/AlPacino didn't make another movie for four years.
* ''Rhinestone'' (1984) -- Budget, $28 million. Box office, $21 million. Possibly a CreatorKiller for director Bob Clark, whose theatrical career turned low-key from then on after this film. Music/DollyParton also took several years off before appearing in another movie.
* ''Film/RichardIII'' (1995) -- Budget, 6 million GBP/$7,880,400. Box office, 2,044,239.81 GBP/$2,684,904. [[AcclaimedFlop One of the most critically acclaimed films that year]], but the adaptation of the Creator/WilliamShakespeare play still hung the careers of director Richard Loncraine and co-producer Stephen Bayly; Bayly moved on to the U.K.'s National Film and Television school, and Loncraine did not direct another theatrical film for 9 years.
* ''Film/RichieRich'' (1994) -- Budget, $40 million. Box office, $38,087,756. Along with ''Film/GettingEvenWithDad'' 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.
* ''Film/RidingInCarsWithBoys'' (2001) -- Budget, $48 million. Box office, $35,743,308. This is the last film that Creator/PennyMarshall has directed to date. After this, co-producer Sara Colleton's career has been mainly in TV.
* ''Film/TheRightStuff'' (1983) -- Budget, estimated between $19 million to $27 million. Box office, $21,192,102. The triple-hit knockout of this film, ''WesternAnimation/TwiceUponATime'', and ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica'' (the third of which became the unfortunate victim of ExecutiveMeddling) led to the film's executive producer Alan Ladd, Jr. to shut down his production company and leave Warner Bros., and while he was appointed executive of MGM/UA just a year after the third aforementioned film's release, he would not return to his own and produce another film until ''Film/{{Braveheart}}''.
* ''Film/RighteousKill'' (2008) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $40,081,410 (domestic), $78,460,699 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Ringmaster}}'' (1998) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $9,257,103. A failed attempt for controversial talk show host Creator/JerrySpringer to get into movies.
* ''Film/{{RIPD}}'' (2013) -- Budget, $130 million. Box office, $78,324,220. This film was a StarDerailingRole for Ryan Reynolds until the 2016 adaptation of ''Film/{{Deadpool}}''; he did low-budget films until then.
* ''Film/RideWithTheDevil'' (1999) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $635,096. (Oh wow).
* ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' (2012) -- Budget, $145 million. Box office, $103,412,758 (domestic), $306,941,670 (worldwide). Due to marketing and promotional costs the movie ended up losing [=DreamWorks=] and Paramount $83 million and resulted in the layoffs of 350 [=DreamWorks=] employees. This was also the final film containing the name "[=DreamWorks=]" to be distributed by Paramount for a while after rising tensions between them and founder Jeffrey Katzenberg led to Fox becoming the new distribution partner for the Shrek Shack (the live-action arm had already abandoned Paramount 3 years earlier for Katzenberg's other major pre-Creator/DreamWorksAnimation studio, Disney; a few Paramount projects in the future will have [=DreamWorks=] attached to them after their deal with Disney ended). ''Rise of the Guardians'' also was the first in a series of flops that led to Katzenberg agreeing to sell his studio to Comcast/Universal and end his involvement with the studio apart from [=DreamWorks=] New Media and NOVA in 2016, while Philippe Dauman, who helped drive both sides of [=DreamWorks=] out, got the ax from Paramount/Viacom the same weekend Katzenberg left DWA.
* ''Film/TheRiver'' (1984) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $11,489,982.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado'' (2000) -- Budget, $95 million. Box office, $76,432,727. The first box-office bomb from Creator/DreamworksAnimation. Plans for sequels were cancelled due to its lackluster take, and the series became a StillbornFranchise as a result. This is one of several traditionally animated films at the turn of the millennium that sent the genre into the sunset until Disney's ''The Princess and the Frog''. After this and ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' 4 years later (the latter has the worst RT rating for a Creator/DreamWorksAnimation film and was ripped apart for being a ''Finding Nemo'' wannabe with [[MemeticMutation "Will Smith]] [[SpecialEffectsFailure fish]]", putting a major dent in DWA's reputation), director Eric "Bibo" Bergeron's American directing career [[CreatorKiller sank like a stone]]; his next theatrical film was French and didn't come until 2011. ''El Dorado'' is also the second and last time Music/EltonJohn and Music/TimRice would work together, with their other teamup being on the music for DWA founder Jeffrey Katzenberg's final Disney film, ''The Lion King'', and this film's failure ensured that ''The Lion King'' would be more fondly remembered. The rush by Katzenberg to get this film out ahead of Disney's ''The Emperor's New Groove'' (another buddy comedy in Mesoamerica) also led animator Will Finn to defect back to Disney and turned the film into an OldShame for him (sadly, this move led him to direct ''Home On The Range'' at Disney, which was a much bigger bust and derailed his career and 2D animation). ''El Dorado'' did become a CultClassic.
* ''Film/TheRoadToWellville'' (1994) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $6,562,513.
* ''Film/{{Roar}}'' (1981) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $2 million. This movie went through a decade-long DevelopmentHell involving the makers' big cats both getting caught in a flood (some of them died) and the big cats (lions and tigers) killing several crew members. The flood upped the budget by $3 million. This film ultimately was never released in Unites States theaters and came DirectToVideo in sparse quantities there, and it didn't last long in international theaters, though the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater company, through their Drafthouse Films subsidiary, did reissue it in 2015. The film's failure resulted in producer and star Tippi Hedren establishing a foundation to keep their lions and having to take smaller roles. The film ended her marriage to director Noel Marshall; this was his sole directing acting/writing job, and he only worked one more film in 1988 before he died.
* ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights'' (1993) -- Budget, $20 million. Box office, $35.7 million. This was another blow to Creator/MelBrooks's career. [[Film/DraculaDeadAndLovingIt His next film]] ended his cinematic run for good. It was VindicatedByCable, though.
* ''Film/RobinHood2010'' -- Budget, $200 million. Box office, $105,669,730 (domestic), $321,669,741 (worldwide).
* ''Film/{{Robocop 3}}'' (1993) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $10,696,210. [[FranchiseKiller Killed]] the film franchise for over 21 years before [[Film/{{Robocop2014}} the 2014]] ContinuityReboot, which also flopped (at least domestically) and again killed the film franchise.
* ''Film/RoboCop2014'' -- Budget, $100 million (not counting marketing costs), $130 million (counting them). Box office, $58,607,007 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $242,688,965 (worldwide)]]. Despite being rescued by foreign gross, that didn't stop the media from honoring it as one of the biggest box office flops of 2014, grossing only a muggy $21.5 million on its opening weekend domestically.
* ''Film/RobotJox'' (1990) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $1.2 million.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' (1991) -- Budget, $18 million. Box office, $11,657,385. This film sank Creator/DonBluth's studio into bankruptcy, though it would survive to make three more critical and commercial busts (''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'', and ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin''), and turned star Glen Campbell into a laughingstock; Campbell would never return to the big screen again. It also led to child actor Toby Scott Granger, who played the lead child in this film, to fade out from the entertainment business within 5 years; he only really appeared in a few ''WesternAnimation/DisneySingAlongSongs'' videos after this. Finally, Creator/ChristopherPlummer, who voiced the villain of the film, did not do another theatrically released animated film until 2009; one of his movies that year was as the villain of Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}''.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'' (1983) -- Budget, $8 million. Box office, '''$30,379'''. Yes, only thirty thousand bucks. The film received no promotion from MGM in either its original American release, nor its home video release.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockDog'' (2017) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $20,830,546. It also did poorly during its original 2016 Chinese release.
* ''Film/RockOfAges'' (2012) -- Budget, $75 million. Box office, $59,418,613.
* ''Film/RockStar'' (2001) -- Budget, $38 million. Box office, $19,334,145.
* ''Film/RockTheKasbah'' (2015) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $3,020,664.
* ''Film/TheRocker'' (2008) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $8,767,338.
* ''Film/TheRocketeer'' (1991) -- Budget, $40 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office, $46.7 million. This film was released in the shadow of ''Terminator 2: Judgement Day'' and it had the Walt Disney Pictures tag attached to it minus the "Blue Castle" VanityPlate, which was a turnoff to many people (international releases put it under TouchstonePictures instead). It DID do very well on video, gaining an additional $23 million, but it wasn't enough to prevent the intended film series from [[StillbornFranchise being grounded]]. The film's video performance and TV airings ultimately led to director Joe Johnson directing SpiritualSuccessor ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' for ''The Rocketeer's'' 20th anniversary and ultimately led to the sequel getting greenlit at last in 2016.
* ''Film/{{Rollerball}}'' (2002) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $25,852,764. It promptly [[StarDerailingRole ended]] Chris Klein's mainstream career, and was one of the last films John [=McTiernan=] directed; he never got a chance to recover before being sent to prison when he committed perjury to the F.B.I. concerning his relationship with shady private eye Anthony Pellicano, who was convicted of wiretapping and other crimes; [=McTiernan=] served his sentence between April 2013 and February 2014 and declared bankruptcy during that time.
* ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' (1936) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $962,000 (domestic), $2,075,000 (worldwide). Recorded loss, $922,000. This version of the Shakespeare play infamously cast middle-aged actors Leslie Howard (43) and Norma Shearer (34) as the teenaged StarCrossedLovers. While the film received some critical praise and four Academy Award nominations, the film's lukewarm reception kept the Bard off-screen until Creator/LaurenceOlivier's ''Theatre/HenryV'' eight years later. This was the last film produced by Irving G. Thalberg, Shearer's husband, who died on the night of its premiere. It's since been VindicatedByHistory as one of MGM's best films.
* ''WesternAnimation/RomeoAndJulietSealedWithAKiss'' (2006) -- Budget, $2 million. Box office, $463,002. This TastesLikeDiabetes animated film only saw release in 26 theaters, though it's mostly notable for being one of the only movies made with UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash to be released to theaters, and almost entirely by one man (former Disney animator Phil Nibbelink) to boot.
* ''Film/RomeoIsBleeding'' (1993) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $3,275,585. Director Peter Medak did not direct again for 5 years, and it poisoned the producing career of Hilary Henkin, who also only got one more writing credit.
* ''Roommates'' (1995) -- Budget, $22 million. Box office, $12,096,881. This ended the A-list career of director Peter Yates. It was also a major blow to co-star D.B. Sweeney’s theatrical film career, as he hasn’t lead another live-action release since, mostly sticking to TV and voiceovers; Fortunately, he’s rebounded a bit this decade.
* ''Film/{{Rosewood}}'' (1997) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $13,130,349.
* ''Film/TheRover'' (2014) -- Budget, $12 million. Box office, $2,295,423.
* ''Anime/RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise'' (1987) Budget, ¥800,000,000 ($7.1 million). Box office, ¥347,000,000 ($3.1 million). Creator/StudioGainax's first anime production received [[AcclaimedFlop great reviews]] and the UsefulNotes/SeiunAward, but was overshadowed by Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind. Gainax rebounded the following year with the Anime/{{Appleseed}} and Anime/GunBuster {{OVA}}s.
* ''Film/RubyCairo'' (1992) -- Budget, $24 million. Box office, $608,866. (OMG).
* ''[[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie]]'' (1998) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $113,484. [=GoodTimes=] Entertainment's only ever attempt at a theatrical feature film, it had animation on par with their direct-to-video movies, with most of the budget going to A-list actors, and the rights to use Rudolph and a Music/PaulMcCartney song. Getting released in the middle of [[UsefulNotes/{{Halloween}} October]] might have also played a part.
* ''Film/RulesDontApply'' (2016) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $3,652,206 (domestic). This was the first movie in 15 years that Warren Beatty has made.
* ''Film/TheRumDiary'' (2011) -- Budget, $45 million. Box office, $23,947,544.
* ''Film/RumbleFish'' (1983) -- Budget, $10 million. Box office, $2,494,480.
* ''Film/RumorHasIt'' (2005) -- Budget, $70 million. Box office, $43,000,262 (domestic), $88,933,562 (worldwide).
* ''Run'' (1991) -- Budget, $16 million. Box office, $4,409,328.
* ''Film/RunAllNight'' (2015) -- Budget, $50 million. Box office, $26,461,644 (domestic), $66,961,644 (worldwide).
* ''Film/RunawayJury'' (2003) -- Budget, $60 million. Box office, $49,443,628 (domestic), $80,154,140 (worldwide).
* ''Film/TheRundown'' (2003) -- Budget, $85 million. Box office, $80,916,492.
* ''Film/RunnerRunner'' (2013) -- Budget, $30 million. Box office, $19,316,646 (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $62,675,095 (worldwide).]]
* ''Running'' (1979) -- Budget, $4 million. Box office, $2.8 million. This was sold to TV for $5 million before being released. Director Steven Hilliard Smith has mostly focused on TV movies after this.
* ''Running Free'' (1999) -- Budget, $25 million. Box office, $117,608.
* ''Film/RunningScared2006'' -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $9,380,029.
* ''Film/{{Rush|1991}}'' (1991) -- Budget, $17 million. Box office, $7,241,350.
* ''[[Film/RushHour Rush Hour 3]]'' (2007) -- Budget, $140 million. Box office, $140 million (domestic), $258 million (worldwide). It was regarded as a major case of {{Sequelitis}} and it [[FranchiseKiller put the brakes on the film series]]. A TV series reboot ran in 2016.
* ''Film/RustlersRhapsody'' (1985) -- Budget, $15 million. Box office, $6,090,497.
