Dark Water was definitely a disappointment, but I did not include it because I have not found any info on the budget. The $30 million budget on imdb could have been posted by anyone and none of the trades were informed by Disney either. The $60 million budget posted on the-numbers.com just seems ridiculous. Bill Mechanic’s Pandemonium production shingle financed the movie and it was the first of what was to be 15 – 20 movies distributed by Disney. No other movies were made after Dark Water.
There’s also Kingdom of Heaven from that year. Budget was $130 million and it made about $212 million worldwide, but the domestic gross for this was only $47 million.
The reported budget on Kingdom of Heaven ranges from about $135m down to $110m, which is likely the case after tax breaks. Fox had overseas investors put up $45m of the budget and the film did perform well overseas and yes, it did tank in the US. It’s gross was definitely a disappointment, but it was designed for the global market and performed well on home video everywhere. It recouped its costs pretty quickly.
The World’s Fastest Indian pretty soon.
Within in the next week, how about House of Wax?
