Eddie Murphy makes a lot of shit movies. I wish he would do some standup instead of making films. Norbit was the only recent movie that made $$$ where he was the lead...and even that was horrible.

I was surprised at this one:

CLEOPATRA (1963)
Budget: $44 million, US Box Office: $26 million

Though the box-office draw of "Cleopatra" was quite respectable, it paled next to its monstrous cost. Originally set to cost a mere $2 million, the film's budget soon spiraled out of control because of production delays, ailing actresses, and mythically lavish sets. Adjusted for inflation, the movie remains one of the most expensive flicks that ever graced the silver screen. The price tag proved to be so great that the production threatened to put 20th Century Fox out of business.
