15 Biggest Box Office DISASTERS of 1996 Hollywood's Costliest Mistakes

Описание: 15 Biggest Box Office DISASTERS of 1996 Hollywood's Costliest Mistakes
1996 was one of the most expensive years in Hollywood history — and not in a good way.

While blockbusters like Independence Day and Mission: Impossible ruled the box office, fifteen films combined to lose over $300 million. Studios gambled big on A-list stars, legendary directors, and massive budgets... and lost everything.

Tom Arnold somehow starred in THREE major flops in a single year, racking up nearly $50 million in combined losses.


A young Judd Apatow penned a sports comedy so bad that Bill Murray reportedly still refuses to work with him because of it.

John Landis, the genius behind Animal House and The Blues Brothers, delivered a family comedy that earned back just 10% of its budget.

Ellen DeGeneres made her big screen debut — and it became a disaster she still jokes about decades later.

Bill Murray flopped so hard with an elephant comedy that he abandoned studio films entirely, accidentally launching his legendary indie career.

Pamela Anderson tried to become an action star with a secret Casablanca rip off that nobody asked for.

Michael Keaton's clone comedy featured ground breaking visual effects that audiences never got to appreciate.

Steve Martin tried to launch a franchise — and got publicly rejected by the U.S. Army in the process.

Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin teamed up for a film that scored a 1 out of 100 on Metacritic, and one of them later called it "God's will."

Billy Zane trained for 18 months to play a superhero in purple — and signed up for two sequels that never happened.

Robert De Niro starred in a thriller with baseball scenes so badly edited that the wrong stadiums appear between cuts.

Keanu Reeves made a film where the actors had to improvise their own dialogue because five screenwriters still couldn't produce a finished script.

Bruce Willis took home $16 million for a film that earned less than three times his salary worldwide.

Marlon Brando showed up to set wearing an ice bucket on his head, refused to learn his lines, and watched as a fired director snuck back onto set disguised in a creature costume.

And Shaquille O'Neal collected $7 million to play a genie — accidentally creating one of the most famous false memories in pop culture history.

These are the 15 biggest box office disasters of 1996. The stories behind them are even wilder than the losses.
