10 Recent Movies That Were Sent Out To Die

This film is so unique in its production troubles that the film is much more useful as a point of education than an actual film to be... seen.

Wonder Park is a little seen animated endeavour between Paramount and Nickeloden with a large $100 million budget, but the film's "director" Dylan Brown was fired after most of the film's production had been completed for inappropriate conduct.

Live-action films dictate that only a single director can receive credit for a film - like Bryan Singer and Bohemian Rhapsody despite Dexter Fletcher's takeover of the production - by the Director's Guild of America.

The DGA chooses who this director is, however they do not have this kind of power over animated films, and the film was therefore credited to no one because... well, no one wanted it. Several people involved in the film were offered the credit, but everyone refused out of fear it would hurt their career.

Naturally, no one wanting to take credit for your film is not a good look when trying to have a successful release. The film only made just under $120 million worldwide, and was seemingly only released as a precursor to the animated series Nickelodeon hopes to launch instead. It truly was sent out to die so the studio could move onto something else.
