What happens
Cutthroat Island is a 1995 adventure swashbuckler film directed by Renny Harlin and written by Robert King and Marc Norman from a story by Michael Frost Beckner, James Gorman, Bruce A. Evans, and Raynold Gideon. It stars Geena Davis, Matthew Modine and Frank Langella. It is a co-production among the United States and France. The film had a notoriously troubled and chaotic production involving multiple rewrites and recasts. Cutthroat Island was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on December 22, 1995 in the United States and by AMLF in France on February 14, 1996. Critical reactions were generally negative, and the film was one of the biggest box-office bombs in history, with losses of $147 million when adjusted for inflation. In April 2012, it was listed in the Guinness World Records as the biggest box-office bomb of all time, though it was surpassed in May of that same year by Disney's John Carter. Its failure caused Carolco Pictures to cease operations. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
