Will Gangs of New York be added? It grossed $193 million worldwide but cost $100 million just to produce. Not to mention the tens of millions they spent on Oscar campaigning.
The articles for the Franchise Pictures movies are the greatest things on this site. I’d really love to see a feature-length documentary about them in the style of the Cannon Films doc “Electric Boogaloo”.
How about telling about “Hey Arnold!: The Movie” (It’s the one where he saves the neighborhood and not to be confused with the upcoming Nickelodeon TV-movie “Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie”-which was supposed to be the big screen one)!!!
I know, though Hey Arnold’s budget is only listed at $3-4 million (which I find hard to believe, considering it had Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christopher Lloyd; I’m not sure how wages work, but I imagine they were expensive back then).
As for CN not doing any other movies, whatever happened to the Adventure Time movie? There hasn’t been any news about it since it was announced.
Don’t go by the mojo budget for The Country Bears, it was low budget cheapie, meant to clean up on home video. 2002 was a different time — the home video market was still very lucrative and movies like Slackers (sony) was given a wide release basically as marketing for vhs/dvd, where it would clean up. Queen Of The Damned went into production with $32 million budget and was going to be dumped straight to video in 2001 – so I wouldn’t be surprised if WB cut its VFX/post budget and it cost far less — that flick looks cheap. Its theatrical gross was mediocre, but it didn’t make Roadshow’s financial reports as a writedown. The Sweetest Thing was a flop. It did clean up on video and never made Sony’s investor reports as a loss, but I’ll see if I can dig up some more stuff on it.
Next Friday, “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” and “Enough”.

Next Sunday would Van Damme DTV film “Derailed” get on here?. Apparently had a

Powerpuff Girls was a flop.
But it’s budget was only 11 million.
Why’d you drop Jonah? I thought it was one of the low-budget exceptions due to Big Idea going bankrupt because of it.
Spirit and The Powerpuff Girls Movie
Spirit”s budget: 80 million box office 122 million The Powerpuff Girls Movie’s budget: 11 million box office 16 million
I thought it was around $20-$25 million?
Nope it’s 80 million so it deserves a spot on the list.
Hoping for The Sweetest Thing later in the week!
Would “Possession” be an option?
Slackers: 14 million budget
6 million budget
Sorority Boys. 12 million Budget. 10 million Gross
Tell us about “The Master of Disguise”. They screwed the DVD release of it!!!
Master Of Disguise was profitable enough for the studio.
How about telling about “Hey Arnold!: The Movie” (It’s the one where he saves the neighborhood and not to be confused with the upcoming Nickelodeon TV-movie “Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie”-which was supposed to be the big screen one)!!!
Budget was only 3 million. Even including P&A, it’s only 16 mil.
How about The Salton Sea?
Would the Powerpuff Girls Movie count? Budget: $11 million, domestic gross: $11,412,414.
Yes, that movie is the reason why Cartoon Network hasn’t made another movie. The Hey Arnold movie also bombed the same summer.
I know, though Hey Arnold’s budget is only listed at $3-4 million (which I find hard to believe, considering it had Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christopher Lloyd; I’m not sure how wages work, but I imagine they were expensive back then).

Adventure Time is ending soon, it was announced the show was canceled.
I know that, but the movie still disappeared. Maybe it was cancelled along with the show?
I would imagine so, fans just assumed that.
I would also add High Crimes, Deuces Wild, Simone, Emeror’s Club and White Oleander.
All the Queen’s Men. Budget: $15 million, Gross: $23,662!
There is also Queen of the Damned,The Country Bears and The Sweetest Thing.
