3 Ninjas Knuckle Up 1995 The film was shot in 1992, the same year the first film was released, but was not released until 1995. The film received mostly negative reviews.[3][4] Many fans attribute its lack of success to its PG-13 rating, which drove away younger viewers.

The 13th Warrior 1999 The budget, which was originally around $85 million, reportedly soared to $100 million before principal photography wrapped. With all of the re-shoots and promotional expenses, the total cost of the film was rumored to be as high as $160 million, which given its lackluster box office take (earning US $61.7 million worldwide), made for a loss of $70–130 million.[6]

1492: Conquest of Paradise 1992 The film was not a success, debuting at No. 7, and ultimately grossing far below its $47 million budget.[7] However, according to the Internet Movie Database, it reached a Non-USA box office of $52 million.[8]

Almost Heroes 1998 The film had a $30 million dollar budget. Filming was completed in the fall of 1996, with a 1997 release target. However, the film was delayed a full year due to the pending merger between Turner and Time Warner.

On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 8% based on 40 reviews.[20]

The Arrival 1996 Despite praise from critics and audiences alike, the film only grossed US$14 million in the North American domestic market, against an esitmated production budget of US$25 million. Part of this was due to high-visibility marketing campaign for the release of Independence Day just over a month later, which also received a mixed critical response but went on to become a box office phenomenon. However, The Arrival had a rather successful run internationally, partly because Charlie Sheen still maintained high popularity worldwide at the time.[32]

The Crying Game 1992 The film was shown at festivals in Italy, the US and Canada in September, and originally released in Ireland and the UK in October 1992, where it failed at the box office. Director Neil Jordan, in later interviews, attributed this failure to the film's heavily political undertone, particularly its sympathetic portrayal of an IRA fighter. The bombing of a pub in London is specifically mentioned as turning the English press against the film. (See List of terrorist incidents in London, 12 October 1992.)[129] The then-fledgling film company Miramax decided to promote the film in the United States where it became a sleeper hit, earning over $60 million at the box office. A memorable advertising campaign generated intense public curiosity by asking audiences not to reveal the film's "secret" to their friends. Jordan also believed the film's success was a result of the film's British/Irish political issues being either lesser-known or completely unknown to American audiences, who thus flocked to the film for what Jordan called "the sexual politics."
Curdled 1996
Cutthroat Island 1995 Cutthroat Island had a total production budget of $98 million (though some put the figure as high as $115 million)[130] and the total U.S. gross was $10,017,322.[47] In 2014, the LA Times listed the film as one of the most expensive box office flops of all time.[131] It may have been a contributing factor to the demise of the film's production company, Carolco Pictures, and of Geena Davis as a bankable star. It debuted at No. 13 at the US box office.[132]

Dirty Work 1998 Though the film received broadly negative reviews from critics and earned low box office returns, it has become a cult classic. Filmed at Wycliffe College and elsewhere around Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the film was produced for an estimated $13 million.[149] In his first appearance on The Howard Stern Show on September 18, 2008,[150] Chevy Chase discussed the film's production and release with Artie Lange.[151] According to Chase, he was impressed by the original script's raunchy, R-rated, "over the top" tone (particularly a filmed but ultimately cut gag involving Macdonald and Lange delivering donuts that had been photographed around their genitals)[151] and, Lange related, went so far as to beg Macdonald not to allow any changes—to "keep it funny". Lange said the studio insisted on a PG-13 rating and moved the film's release from the February dump months to June, where it fared poorly against blockbusters like Godzilla.[152] During production, Norm MacDonald was embroiled in a feud with Don Ohlmeyer, then an executive with NBC. Ohlmeyer, a friend of O. J. Simpson, took offense at MacDonald's frequent and pointed jokes against Simpson on Weekend Update and had MacDonald fired from the position. Ohlmeyer went further and refused to sell advertising space or air commercials for Dirty Work.[153] NBC eventually relented (Ohlmeyer was forced into retirement not long afterward) a week after the film premiered.[154]

Dudley Do-Right 1998 The film was a box office bomb. In its opening weekend, it grossed $3,018,345 - ranking eleventh for the weekend - and went on to gross just $9,974,410 domestically[159] against a budget of $70 million.

And I just thought how the hell do they know? There had only ever been three Olympic Games held in the United States in one hundred years!"

It comes out of the tradition of those rat-a-tat Preston Sturges comedies of the 1940s, and when Chevy Chase, as a wise-guy TV boss, barks orders into a phone, it finds the right note."[238]

Idle Hands 1999 The film opened on April 30, 1999, in 1,611 theaters. It grossed $1.8 million during its first week, and then a total of just over $4 million on a budget of $20–25 million, making it a box office flop.[260][261]
If Looks Could Kill 1991 If Looks Could Kill was a worldwide box office disappointment, having earned only $7,788,597.[262]
If Lucy Fell 1996

Imaginary Crimes 1994
Immortal Beloved 1994 The movie debuted strongly[264] and was a modest success, generating $9,914,409 in a domestic-only release[265]
In Dreams 1999
In the Mouth of Madness 1995 In the Mouth of Madness was released in December 1994 in Italy, and on February 3, 1995 in the U.S. In the U.S., it grossed $3,441,807 in its first weekend, and $8,946,600 total during its run.[266] It was a financial disappointment, but it did earn enough to cover the film's budget.
The Indian in the Cupboard 1995 The movie debuted at number six at the North American box office.[267] The film made only $35 million against a production budget of $45 million, making it a box office bomb; however, the film was in competition with high-profile successes like Apollo 13, Nine Months, Pocahontas, and Batman Forever.[268] As a result, plans to adapt the next three books in the series into films were dropped.
The Indian Runner 1991
Innocent Blood 1992 Innocent Blood opened on September 25, 1992 and grossed $1,857,658 in its opening weekend, earning the #7 spot at the box office.[269] By the end of its run, the film had grossed merely $4,943,279 domestically.[270]
The Insider 1999 The Insider was released in 1,809 theaters on November 5, 1999 where it grossed a total of $6,712,361 on its opening weekend and ranked fourth in the country for that time period. It went on to make $29.1 million in North America and $31.2 million in the rest of the world for a total of $60.3 million worldwide, significantly lower than its $90 million budget.[271] The film was considered to be a commercial disappointment. Disney executives had hoped that Mann's film would have the same commercial and critical success as All the President's Men, a film in the same vein. However, The Insider had limited appeal to younger moviegoers (studio executives reportedly said the prime audience was over the age of 40) and the subject matter was "not notably dramatic," according to marketing executives. Then-Disney chairman Joe Roth said, "It's like walking up a hill with a refrigerator on your back. The fact of the matter is we're really proud we did this movie. People say it's the best movie they've seen this year. They say, 'Why don't we make more movies like this?'"[272] After the film received seven Academy Awards nominations, Joe Roth said, "Everyone is really proud of the movie. But it's one of those rare times when adults loved a movie, yet they couldn't convince their friends to go see it, any more than we could convince people in marketing the film."[273]
Instinct 1999 The film received mixed reviews. Review aggregator Metacritic gives the film a score of 43 out of 100 based on 23 reviews.[274] Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 27% based on 66 reviews.[275] The film was a box office bomb, grossing only $34,105,207 in the United States and Canada.[276]
Intersection 1994 The movie was a failure at the box office.[277] It came in at #3 on its opening weekend behind Mrs. Doubtfire and Philadelphia, and went on to gross $21.3 million domestically against a $45 million budget.
The Iron Giant 1999 The Iron Giant opened at Mann's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on July 31, 1999, with a special ceremony preceding the screening in which a concrete slab bearing the title character's footprint was commemorated.[278] The film opened in Los Angeles and New York on August 4, 1999,[279] with a wider national release occurring on August 6 in the United States. It opened in 2,179 theaters in the U.S., ranking at number nine at the box office accumulating $5,732,614 over its opening weekend.[280] It was quick to drop out of the top ten; by its fourth week, it had accumulated only $18.9 million—far under its reported $70 million budget.[47][280] According to Dave McNary of the Los Angeles Daily News, "Its weekend per-theater average was only $2,631, an average of $145 or perhaps 30 tickets per showing"—leading theater owners to quickly discard the film.[281] At the time, Warner Bros. was shaken by the resignations of executives Bob Daly and Terry Semel, making the failure much worse.[281] T.L. Stanley of Brandweek cited it as an example of how media tie-ins were now essential to guaranteeing a film's success.[282] The film went on to gross $23,159,305 domestically and $8,174,612 internationally for a total of $31,333,917 worldwide.[47][35] Analysts deemed it a victim of poor timing and "a severe miscalculation of how to attract an audience."[281] Lorenzo di Bonaventura, president of Warner Bros. at the time, explained, "People always say to me, 'Why don't you make smarter family movies?' The lesson is, Every time you do, you get slaughtered."[283]
The Island of Dr. Moreau 1996 The production was notoriously difficult, and the film was a box office bomb that received mostly negative reviews.[284][285][286][287][288][289] The film grossed only $49 million worldwide on a $40 million budget, which, with marketing and other expenses, lost money for the studio.[290][291][292][293]
It Runs in the Family 1994 Released in very few theaters,[294] the film grossed under $71,000.
It's Pat 1994 The film opened in only three cities[295] (33 theaters[47]). Its total gross was just $60,822. As a result, the film was pulled from theaters after its opening weekend. In an unfortunate coincidence, the weekend that It's Pat opened to box office failure was also the weekend that Julia Sweeney received serious news about her brother. Sweeney said: "The movie bombed on Friday, and on Sunday [my brother] Mike called, saying he was very sick and didn't have insurance." The subsequent events, including the death of her brother, became the subject of Sweeney's one-woman show and film, titled God Said "Ha!".[296]

King of the Hill 1993
King of New York 1990 During the film's premiere at the New York Film Festival, many members of the audience, including Abel Ferrara's wife, walked out of the theater. At the question-and-answer session that Ferrara held after the screening, the first question asked was, "This film is an abomination. Why aren't you giving the proceeds to some drug rehab program?" At a second showing of the film the next day, Laurence Fishburne and Nicholas St. John were booed off the stage.[311]

Film Year of release Notes

Larger than Life 1996 The film's opening weekend was $3,799,504, and it had a domestic gross of $8,315,693.

Schwarzenegger states that he tried to persuade his coproducers to postpone the film's June 18 release in the United States by four weeks, but they turned a deaf ear on the grounds that the movie would have lost millions of dollars in revenue for every weekend of the summer it ended up missing, also fearing that delaying the release would create negative publicity, he told the authors of Hit And Run that while everyone involved with the production had given their best effort, their attempt to appeal to both action and comedy fans resulted in a film that appealed to neither audience and ultimately succumbed to heavy competition.[322][323][324][325] The film was released in the United Kingdom on July 30, 1993, and opened at number three, behind Jurassic Park and Dennis.[326] The next weekend, the film moved up one place, before falling down to number 10 by August 13, 1993.[327][328]

Internationally it earned $56,009,149 for a total worldwide gross of $89,456,761.[349] Renny Harlin blamed the film’s poor performance on confusing advertising, but Shane Black wondered whether it might’ve been more successful if it were about a man: “It might have made more money. They told me, ‘Don’t put a man in it.’”[350]
Look Who's Talking Now 1993 The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews upon its release.[351] It was also a box office bomb only earning over $10 million, making it the lowest-grossing one in the series.[352][353] On the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 0% approval rating, based on 24 reviews with an average rating of 2.5/10.[354] Among its main problems were the lack of originality, the bland treatment of the children and its overblown ending.

"It was just a coincidence. Nobody told me about it. I was surprised how close it was," director Tim Burton continued, "but then it's a pretty basic genre I guess. Independence Day was different in tone – it was different in everything. It almost seemed like we had done kind of a Mad magazine version of Independence Day."[374]
Marvin's Room 1996
Mary Reilly 1996 Reports of alleged production delays and animosity between the two leads helped fuel the poor word-of-mouth preceding the film's release. Upon release, the reviews were negative, with few critics finding anything to praise about the production.[375] Many found fault with Roberts, calling her "miscast" (though Malkovich, too, received his fair share of ill mention). The film did not do well at the box office. It earned a paltry $5.6 million domestically on a budget of $47 million and grossed only $12.3 million worldwide.[376] On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 26% based on 43 reviews, with an average rating of 4.3/10.

For that particular weekend, the film fell to sixth place still screening in 1,936 theaters. Titanic remained in first place grossing $28,167,947 in box office revenue.[509] During its final week in release, The Replacement Killers opened in a distant 21st place with $131,727 in revenue.[510] The film went on to top out domestically at $19,204,929 in total ticket sales through a 5-week theatrical run.[118] For 1998 as a whole, the film would cumulatively rank at a box office performance position of 90.[511]
The Rescuers Down Under 1990 With the new Mickey Mouse featurette The Prince and the Pauper as an added attraction, The Rescuers Down Under debuted to an opening weekend gross of $3.5 million,[512] ranking fourth in its opening weekend after Home Alone, Rocky V, and Child's Play 2;[513][514] and below the studio's expectations.[515] As a result, then-Walt Disney Studios chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg decided to pull all of the Rescuers television advertising.[515] The film eventually went on to make $27,931,461 in the United States,[512] making it the least successful box-office performance of Disney's renaissance era.
Restoration 1995
Return to Paradise 1998 Return to Paradise made $2,465,129 in its opening weekend in the United States (ranking 14th overall at the box office) for a per theater average of $2,554. The film's eventual domestic gross of $8,341,087 failed to recoup its $14 million budget.[516]
Return to the Blue Lagoon 1991 The film also flopped at the box office. On a budget of $11 million, it made less than $3 million in the United States.
Revenge 1990
Richard III 1995
Richie Rich 1994 The film earned $38 million at the North America box office on a $40 million budget.[517][518] It was a home video success, with $125 million in VHS rentals.[519]
Ringmaster 1998 The film grossed back less than half its budget.
Ride with the Devil 1999 Ride with the Devil premiered in cinemas on November 26, 1999 in limited release throughout the United States.[118] During that weekend, the film opened in 50th place grossing $64,159 in business showing at 11 locations.[118] The film Toy Story 2 opened in 1st place during that weekend with $57,388,839 in revenue.[520] The film's revenue dropped by almost 20% in its second week of release, earning $51,600. For that particular weekend, the film fell to 53rd place although with an increased theater count showing at 15 theaters.[521] Toy Story 2 remained unchallenged in 1st place with $18,249,880 in box office business.[522] During its final week in release, Ride with the Devil opened in 57th place grossing $39,806.[521] For that weekend period, Stuart Little starring Geena Davis opened in 1st place with $11,214,503 in revenue.[523] Ride with the Devil went on to top out domestically at $635,096 in total ticket sales through a 6-week theatrical run.[118] For 1999 as a whole, the film would cumulatively rank at a box office performance position of 219.[524]
The Road to Wellville 1994 The film flopped at the box office, opening at #5 with $2,580,108 in its opening weekend and grossing $6,562,513 domestically in its entire run.[442]
Robin Hood: Men in Tights 1993 Robin Hood: Men in Tights was not one of Mel Brooks's best grossing films in its theatrical release,[525] though Brooks mentions that it and Spaceballs are his two top selling films on video in a DVD interview for the latter film. The film debuted at #6 at the North American box office, with only $6,841,830.[525] The film went on to gross a domestic total of $35,739,755.[118]
RoboCop 3 1993 RoboCop 3 went into production soon after RoboCop 2 was complete. Initially scheduled for release in the summer of 1992, RoboCop 3 would languish on the shelf until the following year as Orion Pictures went through bankruptcy[526] and was bought out. The delay caused most video game adaptations to be released one year prior to the film. RoboCop 3 earned $4.3 million on its opening weekend, ending its run with $10.6 million domestically, far short of recouping its estimated $22 million production budget.
Robot Jox 1990 Although originally scheduled for release in 1989 (a novelization, written by science fiction author Robert Thurston, was published that year,)[527] the film's theatrical run was initially delayed until April 1990 due to Empire International Pictures' bankruptcy during production.[528] After more delays, Triumph Films released the film to theaters on November 21, 1990. When it peaked in its second weekend at the 13th spot, it grossed $464,441 in 333 theaters, averaging $1,394 per theater; it eventually earned a domestic total gross of $1,272,977.[529] Its limited run in theaters prompted science fiction writer Gardner Dozois to remark that "Robot Jox, a movie with a screenplay by Joe Haldeman, was supposedly released this year, but if it played through Philadelphia at all, it must have done so fast, because I never even saw a listing for it, let alone the movie itself."[530]
Rock-a-Doodle 1991 Rock-a-Doodle was originally going to be released by MGM–Pathe Communications Co., but studio partnership was facing financial difficulties, so Don Bluth rescheduled Rock-a-Doodle for release around Thanksgiving 1991 and selected The Samuel Goldwyn Company as the film's distributor.[444] However, that date was further moved to April 1992 to avoid competition with Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Feature Animation's Beauty and the Beast, as well as Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment's An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, a sequel to An American Tail, in which Bluth himself was not involved.[444] It took $11,657,385 at the US box office after an opening weekend gross of $2,603,286,[531] which forced Bluth's studio into liquidation half a year after its release. Moreover, a Hong Kong company, Media Assets, purchased Bluth's next three films, Thumbelina, A Troll in Central Park and The Pebble and the Penguin.[444] None of these did any better than Rock-a-Doodle, commercially or critically except Thumbelina which did get a little better critical reception. All of them preceded 1997's Anastasia, his comeback hit.
The Rocketeer 1991 The Rocketeer was released in the United States on June 21, 1991, earning $9.6 million in its opening weekend in 1,616 theaters.[532] The film opened #4 behind Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, City Slickers and Dying Young. Rocketeer eventually grossed only $46.6 million in US box office making it a commercial disappointment. Outside the US and Canada, the film was released through Touchstone Pictures rather than Walt Disney Pictures, in an attempt to attract the teenage audience it did not reach in North America.[533] The Disney tag also was seen to have turned off people who assumed that the film was for children, which was probably the reason why the Walt Disney Home Video logo was not seen on video releases of the film. In addition, Rocketeer's original Art Deco poster was changed because it failed to draw attention to the cast, including then-current James Bond, Timothy Dalton. A new poster was designed to feature Dalton, Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly prominently.[533] The film also failed in Britain, grossing just over £1 million in its first two weeks at just under 250 screens. The new advertising campaign was being designed while the British promotional campaign for the film was already under way and some theaters still had the stylized United States movie poster.[533]
Romeo Is Bleeding 1993 The film debuted poorly[534] and grossed $3.6 million in the US on a $10 million budget.[535]
Roommates 1995
Ruby Cairo 1992 The film fared poorly at the box office, grossing only $608,866 in the United States.

Run 1991
Running Free 1999 The film began production in 1999 and was released in the US in 2000. The film received generally negative reviews from critics.

S.F.W. 1994
Sgt. Bilko 1996 On the film-critic aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Sgt. Bilko received a 32% positive ratings.[541] It also failed at the box office.[542]
The Shadow 1994 The film was meant to be a summer blockbuster and the starting point for a new film franchise with toy, game, and clothing lines. The film suffered from competition for its target audience with, among others, The Lion King (during its early run) and The Mask (later on), and it was ultimately a financial disappointment.[543][544][545] The film started off strongly, debuting at No. 2, but failed to sustain any momentum,[546] and grossed $32 million domestically, with a worldwide total of $48 million[547] against a budget of $40 million.
Shadows and Fog 1991 After its premiere in 1991, Shadows and Fog opened to wide release on March 20, 1992 in 288 North American cinemas. In its first three days, it grossed $1,111,314 ($3,858 per screen). It finished its run with $2,735,731. Its production budget has been estimated at $14 million.[548]

Shattered 1991 The film earned a total box office gross of $11,511,031[551] against a production budget of $22 million.
The Shawshank Redemption 1994 It received a wide release on October 14, 1994, expanding to a total of 944 theaters to earn $2.4 million—an average of $2,545 per theater—finishing as the number nine film of the weekend, behind sex-comedy Exit to Eden ($3 million), and just ahead of the historical drama Quiz Show ($2.1 million), which was in its fifth week at the cinemas.[552][553] The Shawshank Redemption closed in late November 1994, after 10 weeks with an approximate total gross of $16 million.[554] It was considered a box office bomb, failing to recoup its $25 million budget.[555] The film was also competing with similarly-themed films, Pulp Fiction ($108 million),[556] which also premiered October 14 following its Palme d'Or award win, and Forrest Gump ($330 million)[556] which was in the middle of a successful 42-week theatrical run.[557] Both films would become quotable cultural phenomena. A general audience trend towards action films starring the likes of Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger was also considered to work against the commercial success of The Shawshank Redemption.[555] Morgan Freeman blamed the title, saying it was unmemorable,[555] while Tim Robbins recalled fans asking: "What was that Shinkshonk Reduction thing?".[558] Several alternative titles had been posited before the release due to concerns that it was not a marketable title.[559] The low box office was also blamed on a lack of female characters to broaden the audience demographic, and the general unpopularity of prison films.[558]
She's So Lovely 1997
The Sheltering Sky 1990 The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 50 percent of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 24 reviews despite the film being a financial flop.[560]
Shining Through 1992 The film was neither a commercial nor a critical success. The film holds a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Short Cuts 1993
Shout 1991
Showdown in Little Tokyo 1991 Warner Bros. was not happy with the film and re-edited it, only to give it a limited theatrical run in the United States, Mexico, Italy, Israel and Hungary. Except for these markets, the film was released direct-to-video in 1992. In the US opening weekend, the film grossed $455,192 from 140 theaters which was an average of $3,251 per theater. This accounted for 20% of the film's total gross.[477][561][562] It ranked #9 in Hungary's Top 10 of 1992 Overall Box Office Grosses (according to the 1994 Variety International Film Guide), grossing $197,590 in Hungary.
Showgirls 1995 Produced on a then-sizable budget of approximately $45 million, significant controversy and hype surrounding the film's amounts of sex and nudity preceded its theatrical release. In the United States, the film was rated NC-17 for "nudity and erotic sexuality throughout, some graphic language, and sexual violence." Showgirls was the first (and to date only) NC-17 rated film to be given a wide release in mainstream theaters.[563] Distributor United Artists dispatched several hundred staffers to theaters across North America playing Showgirls to ensure that patrons would not sneak into the theater from other films, and to make sure film-goers were over the age of 17. Audience restriction due to the NC-17 rating coupled with poor reviews resulted in the film becoming a box office bomb, grossing just $37 million.[564]
Silent Fall 1994 Produced on a budget of $30 million, the film made less than $3.2 million domestically, making it a box office bomb.
Simon Birch 1998 The film opened at #5 at the North American box office making $3,321,370 in its opening weekend. The film would go on to gross $18,253,415 domestically, against a $20 million budget, resulting as a box office bomb.[565]

A Simple Plan 1998 On December 11, 1998, the film opened in limited release at 31 theaters, and grossed $390,563 in its first week, with an average of $12,598 per theater.[568] More theaters were added during the limited run, and on January 22, 1999, the film officially entered wide release by screening in 660 theaters across North America.[568] The film ended its North American theatrical run on May 14, 1999, having grossed $16,316,273, below its estimated production budget of $17 million.[569][570] The film was released on VHS and DVD on June 22, 1999, by Paramount Home Entertainment.[571]

Snow Falling on Cedars 1998
So I Married an Axe Murderer 1993 The film did not perform well at the box office. It was released on July 30 in 1,349 theaters, and grossed $3.4 million USD during its opening weekend, and a total of $11.5 million in North America, well below its $20 million budget.[575]
Solar Crisis 1990 Solar Crisis began shooting in November 1989 with an announced budget of $30 million. Nippon Steel, one of the investors, announced a Japanese theme park based on the film.[576] Scientist Richard J. Terrile served as a technical advisor for the film. He at first tried to convince the filmmakers to avoid sending a crew to the Sun, calling it unscientific. When it was explained to him that audience would demand such a plot point regardless of scientific accuracy, Terrile said he realized his job was to make impossible situations sound more plausible.[577] TV Guide quoted the final budget as $43 million. The film opened in Japan in 1990. When it underperformed, the producers extensively recut and reshot scenes to secure an American distributor.
Soldier 1998 The film was a commercial failure, grossing $14 million worldwide against a production budget of $60 million.
Solo 1996
Son of the Pink Panther 1993 The film's budget of $28 million came partly from MGM (then under Alan Ladd Jr.) and with $13.8 million from Aurelio De Laurentiis' company, Filmauro. The film was a box office hit in Italy despite tanking everywhere else.
Sour Grapes 1998 The film was the last Castle Rock Entertainment production to be released by Columbia Pictures until 2004.
The Spanish Prisoner 1997
Species II 1998 On April 10, 1998 in 2510 theatres, the film finished at $7.2 million, ranking number four on its opening weekend. Domestically, the film grossed only $19.6 million from its $35 million budget and $26,817,565 overseas, making the film average at the box office and therefore was a major critical and commercial failure.[578]
Speed 2: Cruise Control 1997 During its opening weekend, Speed 2 was shown on 2,615 screens and grossed $16.2 million. Despite the negative reviews, it ranked at number one in the box office, grossing just $500,000 more than Con Air in second place.[579] Box office sales for Speed 2 dropped 54 percent the following weekend, grossing only $7.8 million and ranking at number five.[580] The film grossed only $48 million in the United States, and had a total gross of $164.5 million worldwide.[512] Moviefone and Time have both ranked the film among the biggest box office bombs of all time.[581][582]
Sphere 1998 Sphere initially had a Christmas release date but was moved forward to avoid competition.[583] Warner Bros. released the film theatrically in the US on February 13, 1998, where it debuted in third place and grossed $37 million total.[47] The Los Angeles Times characterized it as a flop.[584] Sphere grossed $50.1 million worldwide.[35]
Stanley & Iris 1990 It was also a commercial failure at the box office, grossing less than $6 million against its $23 million budget.
Starship Troopers 1997 It grossed $54.5 million in the US and a total of $121.2 million worldwide against its budget of $105 million.[585]
State of Grace 1990 The film was released on a limited basis on September 14, 1990. First-week box office totaled $179,927 (14 screens).[586] According to "The Numbers" web site, the film was in circulation a few weeks and appeared on 335 screens in its widest release. Total receipts were $1,911,542.[587] Roger Ebert believed the difficulty State of Grace had at the box office was due to another film with the same theme being released the same week, Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.[588]
Steal Big Steal Little 1995
Steel 1997 Steel was released in the United States on August 15, 1997.[589] Steel was considered a large box office bomb on its release with an estimated budget of $16 million, the film grossed just over $1.7 million at the box office.[589]

Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot 1992 Despite the poor reviews, the film was somewhat successful at the box office. The film brought in only $28.4 million domestically but did a little better overseas with over $42.2 million internationally to a total of $70.6 million worldwide.[592]
The Story of Us 1999
The Straight Story 1999 The film was a critical success and garnered audience acclaim, although the overall gross proved less than expected.
Strange Days 1995 Strange Days was given a limited release on October 6, 1995 in only one theater and grossed $31,062 on that weekend. It expanded a week later on October 13, 1995 in 1,691 theaters and grossed $3,656,012 on its opening weekend.[593] The film's poor performance at the box office was compared to Jade and The Scarlet Letter, which opened at the same time and had a similar budget.[594] The film went on to make $7,959,291 in North America, little more than a sixth of its $42 million production cost. As a result, Strange Days was considered a commercial failure, due in part to the poor marketing strategy and lack of audience understanding.[595]
Striking Distance 1993 Striking Distance ended up being a box office bomb in the U.S, earning only $24 million on a budget of $30 million.
Striptease 1996 Striptease made $12,322,069 in its first weekend, falling behind The Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy, Eraser starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in which Demi Moore voiced one of the main characters.[596] Ultimately, Striptease made $33,109,743 in the United States, and domestically it was the 47th highest-grossing film of 1996.

Summer of Sam 1999
Sunchaser 1996 A theatrical release was intended but the film fared poorly enough with test audiences to go straight to video in the United States.[601]

Sweet and Lowdown 1999
Swing Kids 1993

Film Year of release Notes
The Taking of Beverly Hills 1991 The film was picked up for theatrical distribution by Columbia Pictures after original distributor Orion Pictures ran into financial trouble. The film was given a limited release in the fall of 1991, grossing $939,277 at the box office on a budget of $19 million.[607] Despite Wahl's presence, and due to rather lackluster advertising, the film bombed on this initial release, but later found an audience when the film was released on VHS.
Tall Tale 1995 Tall Tale was released in theatres on March 24, 1995. The film flopped domestically and worldwide, and did not make back its $32,000,000 budget.[608] It made $3,046,181 in its opening weekend in the United States, eventually earning a total domestic gross of $8,247,627. It made $2,800,000 at the foreign box office, for a total worldwide gross of only $11,047,627.
Tank Girl 1995 Tank Girl opened in 1,341 theatres in the United States bringing in $2,018,183 in its first weekend[609] and $2,684,430 at the end of its first week of release. By the end of its second week, Tank Girl had made only $3,668,762. Its final gross in the United States was $4,064,495.[610] Internationally, the film added approximately $2,000,000 to that total,[611] against a production budget of $25 million.[47]
Teaching Mrs. Tingle 1999 The film was a box-office bomb; it made US$3.3 million in its opening weekend, debuting at number 10 at the North American box office.[612] However, by its second week, the film dropped down to number 15 and brought in $2,344,298. The film continued to drop, and on its final week in the box office, the film was at number 44. By the end of its run, the film grossed $8,951,935 at the domestic box office, losing $4,480,065 against an estimated budget of $13 million.[613]
The Temp 1993 The film was released on February 12, 1993 in 1,438 theatres, and grossed $2.8 million during its opening weekend. It was considered a box office bomb, finishing with $6.4 million domestically, under its $15 million budget.
Texasville 1990 The film received mixed reviews from critics, holding a 55% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[614] and did not do well at the box office, grossing just $2 million against its $18 million budget.
Terminal Velocity 1994 The movie debuted at No. 2 at the box office behind Timecop.[615] It eventually earned about $16.5 million in ticket sales, making it a box office flop compared to its $50 million budget.[616]
The Thief and the Cobbler 1993 After the movie was completed, Allied Filmmakers, along with Majestic Films, reacquired the distribution rights from the Completion Bond Company. Calvert's version of the film was distributed in South Africa and in Australia as The Princess and the Cobbler on 23 September 1993. In December 1994, Miramax Films, then a subsidiary of Disney and had already released Aladdin first, bought the rights in North America. Until Miramax agreed to distribute the film, it was refused by many other American distributors. "It was a very difficult film to market, it had such a reputation," Calvert recalls. "I don't think that they were looking at it objectively."[617] Originally planning to release the Princess and the Cobbler version, Harvey Weinstein decided to recut the film even further[618] and released their version entitled Arabian Knight. This version featured newly written dialogue by Eric Gilliland, Michael Hitchcock, and Gary Glasberg, and a celebrity voice cast that was added months before the film's release. Jake Eberts found that "It was significantly enhanced and changed by Miramax after they stepped in and acquired the domestic -distribution- rights."

The Underground Comedy Movie 1999 Although the film was released and screened in 1999, Offer was bankrupt by 2002 and home video distribution plans were shelved. Offer, who had previously been a successful vegetable chopper salesman and businessman, resumed selling vegetable choppers at swap meets to support himself and raise money to complete his film project. Within a few months, he had earned enough to resume production, and the movie was finally completed, released, and marketed entirely on late-night infomercials that Offer paid for with his earnings from the swap meet vegetable chopper sales. The film has reportedly sold in excess of 100,000 copies.[657] According to IMDb, The Underground Comedy Movie played on one movie theater screen on May 16, 1999, earning $856.[658]

Warshawski 1991 The movie debuted poorly at the box office.[661] The film, which took many creative liberties with Sarah Paretsky's character, was meant as a franchise for Turner,[citation needed] but those plans were scrapped when it was not a commercial success, grossing only $11.1 million[662] domestically.
Vampires 1998 The film opened at #1 but dropped to #8 on its second week. The film grossed $20,308,772 dollars domestically on a $20 million budget, breaking even in the United States.

Against a $9 million budget, the film was a box office bomb.[35]
Very Bad Things 1998
Village of the Damned 1995 In addition to being a failure at the box office, the film received mediocre critical response. Based on 34 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, Village of the Damned holds a 29% approval rating from critics, with an average score of 3.9 out of 10.[665]

W[edit]

Film Year of release Notes
Wagons East 1994 The film was released five months after John Candy's death,[672][673] and despite being Candy's posthumous release, the film was a box office bomb.[674]
Waiting for Guffman 1997 During opening weekend in 1997, the film made $37,990.[675] With a budget of $4 million, the film earned less than $3 million worldwide.[675]
The War at Home 1996 The film was released in theatres on November 20, 1996. It was a box office failure, grossing only $43,000.[676]
Warriors of Virtue 1997
Waterworld 1995 Due to the runaway costs of the production and its expensive price tag, some critics dubbed it "Fishtar"[677] and "Kevin's Gate",[678] alluding to the flops Ishtar and Heaven's Gate, although the film debuted at the box office at #1.[679][680] With a budget of $172 million (and a total outlay of $235 million once marketing and distribution costs are factored in),[681] the film grossed $88 million at the North American box office. The film did better overseas, with $176 million at the international box office, for a worldwide total of $264 million.[682] However, even though this figure surpasses the total costs spent by the studio, it does not take into account the percentage of box office gross that theaters retain, which is generally up to half;[681] but after factoring in home video sales and TV broadcast rights among other revenue streams, Waterworld eventually became profitable.[683][684]
Wayne's World 2 1993 Although it was intended to be a Christmas season blockbuster, Wayne's World 2 did not receive the box office intake or positive fan reaction that the first film did. Its final North American gross was $48 million, slightly more than its $40 million production budget, but much less than the original film's gross of over $100 million. Wayne's World 2 also suffered from competition from other holiday season blockbusters such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Schindler's List, and The Pelican Brief.[685]

We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story 1993 The film grossed a total of $3,707,770 on its opening weekend and a total domestic gross of $9,315,576 in the United States, resulting in a box office bomb.[686]

Where the Heart Is 1990
White Fang 2: Myth of the White Wolf 1994
White Man's Burden 1995 The movie was not a box office success, though the very small budget meant its losses were also minimal; it was widely seen as a blip on the radar during John Travolta's massive comeback as a movie star during the post-Pulp Fiction phase of his career.[689]
White Squall 1996 White Squall, like Ridley Scott's previous film, 1492: Conquest of Paradise, was a box office disappointment.

Wild America 1997 Wild America grossed $7.3 million[690] from an estimated $46 million budget.[691][dead link]

The Witches 1990 The Witches was well received by critics and audiences alike, but performed poorly at the box office.[695]
Without Limits 1998 Due to a very low-key promotional campaign, the $25 million film grossed only $777,000 at the box office, although it received good reviews from many major critics.[696][697]
Woo 1998 Made on a budget of $13 million, the film only grossed $8,064,972 domestically, making it a certifiable box-office flop.[698] It was a success when released on home video (originally VHS, and later DVD).
Wrongfully Accused 1998 The film opened on August 21, 1998 in 2,062 cinemas. On its opening weekend, it grossed USD $3,504,630 or approximately $1,700 per theatre. Wrongfully Accused's overall gross was $9,642,860.[35]
Wyatt Earp 1994 Wyatt Earp, released six months after Tombstone, was the less successful of the two films, taking in $25 million on a $63 million budget,[699] compared to Tombstone's $56 million domestic gross on a $25 million budget.[700] The film did debut at No. 4 at the box office.[701]
