10 Infamous Failed Blockbusters That Cost Obscene Money

10. Alexander

Alexander seemed like the right movie at the right time, with Oliver Stone's historical epic arriving just when the genre was at its peak of popularity, with the story focusing on the life of one of history's most remarkable figures for good measure.

However, no matter how many times Stone re-edited and reassembled his passion project, there's no version of Alexander that's any good. Plagued by bad accents and miscasting, it didn't help either that the story was ten times drier than the battlefields that much of the action took place on.

Warner Bros. sunk $155m into Alexander, a figure that went up after Stone had finished with the Director's Cut, Final Unrated Cut and Ultimate Cut, and all they had left to show for it in the end was six Razzie nominations and a huge hole in their pocket.
