Movies that drove their studios to bankruptcy
- Filmmaking is a skillful craft that some individuals have truly mastered. However, regardless of the talent and expertise of the assembled team, there is always a risk involved when presenting the final product to the world. Occasionally, a blockbuster film intended as a serious action endeavor can end up being a disappointment, or a significant advancement in visual effects may not be fully appreciated by the audience. The tides can change abruptly, leading to unexpected results. Conversely, there are instances where production companies are to blame for investing substantial amounts of money into a project that ultimately performs poorly.
Let's take a look at movies that experienced such disastrous failures that caused the downfall of the studios behind them.
