Technically, Bee Movie counts. Going by the 55% domestic/40% overseas split, DreamWorks Animation would have seen back $134 million of its $150 million production budget, not including P&A costs.
“THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD” was an amazing film. Saw it at a SAG screening and everybody there thought it was going to do gang busters….
What about The Golden Compass? $180 million budget, $70.1 million domestic box office, $302 million overseas… that New Line didn’t see a dime of due to their selling off overseas distribution. Even Wikipedia cites it as the ‘final straw’ that led to WB absorbing NLC the following year.
Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium counts as well.
Budget: $65 million (before P&A costs)
Worldwide Gross: $69.4 million.
Estimated loss: $32.534 million (before P&A costs)
Mr. Magorium’s cost about $30M
