40+ Major Box Office Flops That Cost Millions of Dollars

There's no shortage of wonderful movies to come out of Hollywood, from the animated pictures of our childhoods to the fast-paced action flicks we love to watch on Friday evenings. Despite being home to some of the biggest studios, not every film produced will be a blockbuster. Some of them, in fact, are going to stink. Producing a film isn’t cheap, but producers constantly dream that their film will be the next hit franchise. What about these films, though? Let's just say they lost money for their respective studios... millions of dollars.

20th Century Fox has a reputation for creating some of our generation's biggest blockbusters. That's why critics were taken aback when Titan A.E. released in 2000, bombed.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash was planned to be a delightful sci-fi/comedy film starring Eddie Murphy. He's a moon-dwelling extraterrestrial who is robbed in a nightclub and embarks on a quest to discover the thieves.

Lilly and Lana Wachowski, the makers of the cult sci-fi film series The Matrix, were eager to demonstrate that they could continue to produce blockbuster hits. They had great expectations, and reviewers wanted them to recreate the enchantment for which they are famous.

Animated films, particularly those based on tried-and-true themes, consistently perform well with families all over the world searching for something entertaining to watch with their children. It's no surprise that DreamWorks had great hopes for this film.
