10 Movies With INSANE Budgets (That Didn't Pay Off)

10. The Adventures Of Pluto Nash

Eddie Murphy's ability to carry a Hollywood hit was confirmed with his very first movie, 48 Hrs., in 1983. While that movie (and many others) went on to earn a ton of cash, not everything Murphy has worked on paid off. Typically, his films had modest budgets... that is, of course, until The Adventures of Pluto Nash hit theaters in 2010.

Pluto Nash had been languishing in development hell since the mid-1980s, and thanks to a number of costly rewrites, huge elaborate sets, and special effects spread throughout the film, the whole project ended up costing much more than it was worth.

The movie reportedly cost $100 million to make, but when it finally came to theaters, it managed to rake in a measly $7.1 million in the worldwide box office gross. Not only was it a massive financial flop, but it was also one of the worst-rated films the comedian starred in throughout his career.

Pluto Nash maintains a rating of 4% on Rotten Tomatoes with a consensus that the movie failed to deliver on all accounts. The only aspect of the film that somewhat worked was its special effects and seeing as that department got the most money, it makes sense.
