Did I just watch the biggest flop in movie history?
Was bored, couldn't sleep, so I turned on the Encore Avenue channel from Movie Central. I watched the Warren Beaty movie TOWN & COUNTRY (2001). Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, Andie McDowell (love me some Andie), Jenna Elfman, Natasha Kinski, Charleton Heston, etc.
Well to put it bluntly it sucked. I looked it up on IMDB to find out why it sucked so bad, no excuse for it really with that level of acting talent. I found out it cost 90 mil to make, and it only grossed just over 6 mil TOTAL. That has got to be one of the biggest flops in movie history, no? This film is a perfect example of what having weak writing can do to a production. Weak plot, annoyingly obtuse dialogue, bad horrible writing. It will sink you every time. People in adult, take note of what I say. If you're ever looking to hire a writer, think twice about going with the CHEAPEST out there. No, think three or four times if you have to.

Waterworld was one of the biggest flops in movie history... Losing 84 million is nothing in terms of biggest movie flops

Pretty sure Middle Men was one of the biggest box office bombs ever...
Town and Country was awful - it was also Warren Betty's last movie role. ADG |

However I may stand corrected on something. It seems Town & Country LOST over 90 million. It costed somewhere closer to $110 million to make. I had to find out why a shitty unfunny comedy like this would cost that much. Even with all the big name actors in the twilights of their careers asking for big payouts it shouldn't have cost more than oh, say about 40 mil tops. The answer: rewrites. :D Beaty's perfectionist ego required several of them, then reshooting those rewrites, building and rebuilding locations etc. Other huge bombs include Pluto Nash (96 mil loss) Stealth (107 mil loss) Final Fantasy (94 mil loss) 13th Warrior (94 mil loss) Cutthroat Island (87 mil loss) Town and Country seems to be in second.

Best reply in the comments I've found so far --
I wish I'd been drunk while watching this movie. I now wish I'd done the same, I imagine it might have had a shot at being funny if I had.

Serves them right for making Global Warming propaganda, actually the film probably wasn't even there to make a profit, was funded by a black budget

What can I tell you, even Ishtar, one of the biggest turkey's of all time had a few people that liked it. It's not surprising at all that the films I've mentioned here have some fans as well. I mean someone had to like them, right?
All I know is the movie had an estimated budget of 137 million, and it only made back a small % of that. I can't speak to how good or bad it was as I've yet to see it, but the IMDB critics have been slamming it for years and are still slamming it as we speak. I like a lot of the actors in it so I'd watch it at least once, bomb or not. If I can sit through Town and Country all the way to the end I can certainly do so for Final Fantasy.

I watched ishtar the other night. I thought Hoffman and bettys attempts to outact a bad script was amusing!
Bad movies are fun.

"16th biggest box office flop of all time" - this is what some youtube video claims... So most likely the answer is NO.

But this mess Town and Country, well, that's a different story. It's one of those movies that now that I've seen it I just know I'll never watch it again. When you know that about a movie, you can't really say that it's much 'fun' in any way. Some do like it though. Taste is a funny thing, this movie isn't. I watched another not-so-great movie last night --- The Forsaken. Yet another in a long line of pretty cheesy vampire flicks, many of which could have been better with better writing and stronger direction. Another one I probably won't watch again. It did have it's moments though so I won't slam to too hard. Bad movies aren't always fun.

another list:

I never even played the game, nor do I know anything about it, but I enjoyed that movie.
