The Happytime Murders (2018)

The Happytime Murders was panned for its overly vulgar humor and even caused a lawsuit by Sesame Street to be filed for mocking the child-friend show. The total loss of the film is estimated to be around $12.5 million.

Heaven’s Gate made film history for absolutely all the reasons. The western was directed by Michael Cimino, whose career would never be the same after his massive-budget vision for the film ended up costing $123 million in losses to the film’s studio, United Artists, which ended up going bankrupt after the film was released. Additionally, the film was subject to animal abuse allegations, and to cap it off, it was considered by critics to be “one of the greatest injustices of cinematic history.”
