1	* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $85 million. Box office, $71,382,927. The film received mixed reviews which derided its "morose sentimentality," and "insubstantial plot" but praised its elaborate, UsefulNotes/AcademyAward winning Visual Effects.
2	* CompletelyDifferentTitle: Considering the ethereal nature of the title, it earned many, mostly using 'beyond' to convey afterlife: ''Beyond the Horizon'' in Germany and Portugal, ''Beyond the Sky'' in Finland, ''Beyond Our Dreams'' in France, ''Beyond the Dreams'' in Spanish-speaking countries, ''Love Beyond Life'' in Brazil and ''I Will Find You in Paradise'' in Greece.
3	* CreatorKiller: Director Vincent Ward saw his career stuck in purgatory for seven years.
4	* TheDanza: An odd variation. Annabella's character is only ever named Annie by the other characters, except that Chris's nickname for her is Bella (which means "beautiful" so it works as a pet name between lovers, but seems too coincidental to be an accident).
5	* DisownedAdaptation:
6	--> '''Creator/RichardMatheson''': I will not comment on ''What Dreams May Come'' except to say that a major producer in Hollywood said to me, "They should have shot your book." Amen.
7	* FocusGroupEnding: The original ending was the main character loses himself in his wife's personal hell. Test audiences didn't like it, so it was replaced with a more upbeat ending where he saves her, which is also how the original novel ends.
8	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
9	** Creator/AnnetteBening was originally cast to play Annie. She opted out and Annabella Sciorra replaced her.
10	** Music/EnnioMorricone originally did the score. Though completed, it was rejected and Music/MichaelKamen replaced him.
11	** Not long after Creator/RobinWilliams died, Creator/MaraWilson was interviewed about his life, [[WordOfGod mentioning]] that she had auditioned for the role of Marie, but was considered too old. She related that she had for the first time really seen the shyer, more reserved and vulnerable side of Robin when they met at the audition.
