Yes, it’s hard to believe. But Frank Capra's five-time Oscar-nominated picture that's as integral to Christmas as tinsel and Santa Claus was largely responsible for bankrupting its studio. Perhaps deterred by its unseasonal story—a suicidal man is shown an alternate universe where he doesn’t exist—most cinemagoers gave It’s A Wonderful Life a wide ...
Despite its reputation as a costly flop, 1963’s Cleopatra did eventually recoup its then-record-breaking budget. However, another expensive historical epic released just a year later, Anthony Mann's The Fall of the Roman Empire, wasn’t so lucky. Samuel Bronston Productions spent a fortune re-creating the 92,000-square meter Roman Forum that once se...
Heaven’s Gate boasted a cast including Christopher Walken, Jeff Bridges, Isabelle Huppert, John Hurt, and Willem Dafoe, and director Michael Cimino’s previous film, The Deer Hunter, had picked up five Oscars. The movie couldn’t have had a better pedigree, but its slow-burning story of a late 19th century battle between European immigrants and nativ...
Larger-than-life entertainment impresario Lew Grade once famously remarked that it “would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic” than recreate the titular vessel in Raise the Titanic. He probably had a point. His company, ITC Entertainment, sank $40 million into adapting Clive Cussler’s novel of the same name to the big screen, with the majority ...
A key figure in the New Hollywood movement, Francis Ford Coppola helped to shape the landscape of 1970s cinema with seminal films such as The Godfather, The Conversation, and Apocalypse Now. The '80s, however, weren’t as kind to the Oscar-winning auteur. His first movie of the decade, One From the Heart, undoubtedly looked good—the filmmaker spent ...
After a series of flops that included the Terry Jean Moore biopic Love Child, Fred Zinnemann's romantic drama Five Days One Summer, and the stop-motion animation film Twice Upon a Time, The Ladd Company was expecting space race tale The Right Stuff, adapted by Tom Wolfe's book, to reverse their commercial fortunes. But despite four Academy Awards a...
Former Walt Disney execs James L. Stewart and Rich Irvine hit the ground running with their Aurora Productions company’s first venture: The Secret of NIMH grossed twice its budget in 1982. But their live-action output struggled to replicate this early success, as their next four films all flopped pretty hard at the box office. By 1990, the company ...
The most cutthroat thing about Renny Harlin’s 1995 swashbuckler was the critical response. The knives were already out before the film even made it to cinemas thanks to a troubled production where everything from the casting to the script was constantly made to walk the plank. Audiences were even less receptive. Embarrassingly, Cutthroat Island mis...
Having rescued his career from the doldrums with Pulp Fiction, John Travolta then squandered it again six years later with this self-indulgent love letter to Scientology. To add insult to injury, he even put $5 million of his own money into the unintentionally hilarious project. Battlefield Earth only covered the first half of Ron L. Hubbard’s nove...
Fox Animation had first enjoyed success with one of the few 1990s cartoons that could compete with Disney’s renaissance, Anastasia. Yet just three years later, the studio appeared to throw in the towel, laying off two-thirds of its employees shortly before releasing what would be its final picture. The post-apocalyptic sci-fi tale Titan A.E., there...

The studio not only finished the year in first place, but also reached an all-time record high sum of $1.711 billion, which was an all-time yearly record for any studio. It was surpassed by Warner Bros. in 2009.
Fate of studio. Liberty's first release, It's a Wonderful Life, in December 1946, was a financial failure. Although it was in the top 7% of that year's films as ranked by box office gross, it was unable to recoup its high production cost of $2.3 million, [16] much less show a profit.
Mar 28, 2019 · A victim of its own distribution channel, and despite releasing 100 films by 1939, the studio closed its doors on the eve of WW2. Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC) arrived on the scene as Grand National departed in 1939, but only lasted until 1946 when it was gobbled up by Eagle-Lion Films.
