These Box Office Bombs Cost Actors Their Careers
Usually, companies like Universal and Disney make millions, but not always! These movies, including stars like Reese Witherspoon and Bruce Wills, were flops!
Jack Frost (1994), Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston – $105 Million Lost, Adjusted
Warner Bros. Pictures
Often, box office bombs and can ruin an actor’s career. Just ask Michael Keaton, who only recently started to recover from his 1998 dud, Jack Frost. The family fantasy-comedy centers around Jack Frost (Keaton), a man who, after dying in a car crash, comes back as a snowman so he can spend Christmas with his family. Yeah, it’s as strange as it sounds.
Warner Brothers didn’t just splurge on stars Keaton and Kelly Preston’s salaries. They also spent quite a bit on effects and an incredible snowman suit designed by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Still, great effects could not bring in the crowds. Ultimately, Jack Frost made a dash more than $35 million against a production budget of $85 million.
