Trivia / Shining Through

• Box Office Bomb: Budget, $30 million. Box office, $21,633,781 (domestic), $43,838,238 (worldwide).
• Star-Derailing Role: This film was one in a string of poorly-received box office disappointments in the 1990s that made Melanie Griffith's career falter, alongside The Bonfire of the Vanities, Milk Money, and Mulholland Falls (after being on the rise in the mid-late 1980s with films like Body Double, Something Wild, and Working Girl), before 2000's Cecil B. Demented cemented the end of her run as a leading lady.
