1. Heaven’s Gate (1980)
Trending
Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate is infamous for nearly bankrupting United Artists (UA). A budget of $44 million at the time which was astronomic gained only by taking in $3.5 million. Overproduction delays and reshoots cost a small fortune, and Cimino's perfectionism ballooned it. Critics lampooned it for its meandering length and confusing plot. However, reevaluated years later as an epic misunderstood film, it is now a cult classic. In any case, its initial flop changed Hollywood's future, forever making studios cling to creative control over directors.
