584 6 6.3 Studio: New Line Cinema
Although globally the film was not considered a box office flop, American gross was low. New Line had already sold the international rights for the film and so missed out on the films worldwide profit (about $375 million), prompting Warner Bros to wade in and merge New Line into Warner Bros Pictures.

This animated feature shunted The Ladd Company - memorable for films like Blade Runner - into obscurity for over a decade.

Allocated Budget: $19,000,000 Domestic Gross: $4,750,000 Loss: 75% 
7 6.2 5.6 Studio: Hammer Film Productions
The remake of Hitchcock's original starring Elliot Gould was sufficiently poor enough to doom the Hammer Film Production company to ruin and they never made another film. 
554 5.8 6.4 Studio: Square Pictures
Allocated Budget: $137,000,000 Domestic Gross: $32,131,830 Loss: 76.7% Square Pictures' parent company, Squaresoft, had planned to merge with rival developer Enix, but the financial losses incurred by TSW plunged this partnership into jeopardy. Enix needed a further two years of convincing that this merger made good business sense. Grand Assault's rating:

Description
A list of films that cost so much money to make that they successfully bankrupted their parent production company. Some companies recovered, others were forced to drastically alter their business model and some were terminally wounded by the financial ruin. Each of them will be regretting the major box office flop that failed to recoup the allocated budgets in cinemas world wide.
