Anti-records: films with huge budgets that failed at the box office (10 photos)

Yes, sometimes big budgets do not live up to expectations and the film does not pays off. Even a star casting or a well-known director is not capable of take out the film. Unfortunately, this happens quite often. By the way, not a break-even budget doesn't mean the tape was bad. For example, the legendary "Fight Club" raised only 37 million on a budget of 65 million. What can I say, even the great "Shawshank Redemption" is not paid off! But in our selection we will focus on films that are not just did not pay off, but went into a huge minus, thereby beating everything anti-records. The losses were simply enormous.
