Career-Ending Box Office Failures for Hollywood Celebrities

Cutthroat Island, starring Geena Davis, is often remembered for its notorious failure. Despite its colossal $98 million budget, the film grossed only $10 million at the box office, making it one of Hollywood’s most infamous flops.

The financial disaster led to the bankruptcy of Carolco Pictures, the studio behind the film, and also had personal repercussions. The stress and fallout from the movie’s failure likely contributed to Davis’s eventual divorce from the film’s director, Renny Harlin.
