13 Biggest Box Office DISASTERS of 1999 | Hollywood's Costliest Mistakes

Описание: 1999 was one of Hollywood's most expensive lessons in failure. While The Matrix and The Sixth Sense were breaking records, studios were quietly losing an estimated $700 million on films that crashed and burned.

From A-list stars to legendary directors, nobody was safe from disaster that year.

In this video, we break down the 13 biggest box office catastrophes of 1999 — the films that lost fortunes, ended careers, and became cautionary tales that Hollywood still hasn't learned from.

🎬 THE FILMS THAT LOST IT ALL:
Wing Commander — A video game adaptation rushed into theaters with a secret weapon: the Phantom Menace trailer. But what happened when audiences got what they came for and walked out?

The Mod Squad — Three rising stars. One TV revival. The worst reviews of the entire year. This one holds a record you won't believe.

Anywhere But Here — Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman couldn't save this decade-long passion project. What went so wrong with a film critics actually liked?

The Astronaut's Wife — Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron together should have been gold. Instead, the studio made one marketing mistake that doomed everything.

Instinct — Two Oscar winners. One expensive drama. And a business deal that would accidentally lead to one of the biggest hits of the decade.

For Love of the Game — Kevin Costner went to war with his own studio over this baseball drama. The public feud that followed destroyed any chance of success.

Jakob the Liar — Robin Williams' second disaster of 1999. The timing of this release created an impossible situation no marketing could fix.

Dudley Do Right — Brendan Fraser tried to recapture George of the Jungle magic. The desperate marketing campaign tells you everything about how badly this failed.

The 13th Warrior — The single most expensive disaster of 1999. One legendary actor was so disgusted he briefly quit Hollywood entirely.

Mystery Men — A superhero parody that arrived a decade too early. The soundtrack connection to a future animated hit will surprise you.

Bicentennial Man — Robin Williams and the director of Mrs. Doubtfire reuniting for a sure thing. So why did Disney almost cancel it?

Inspector Gadget — It made $134 million and still lost money. The math behind this "hit" reveals Hollywood's dirtiest secret.

Wild Wild West — Will Smith's greatest regret. The role he turned down to make this film changed cinema history forever.
