#1 Was Worth Every Penny. So Was #10.

Sorry, but this is stupid. How do you include a movie (JAWS) that has earned $470 million and is one of the 10 highest grossing movies of all time in a list of BOMBs? It wasn't "disastrously over budget" if it made back its cost (as it did) in the first week of release.

What Jeff said. I think the movie that went most "disastrously" over budget was TITANIC. I think we know how that worked out for the studio.

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN was another one woth the extra $$. In fact, more than worth it.

Heaven's Gate, anyone? "It opened to poor reviews and earned $3.5 million domestically (from an estimated $44 million budget)..." The original budget was something like $25 million.

I'd say that #s 1, 10, 11 and 13 were worth every cent. #10 would have been a box-office bonanza if the studio hadn't been so afraid of the word "Mars" that it lost any clue as to how to market it.
