I honestly have no idea how WaterWorld was not a huge hit, I loved that movie … I’m also very afraid to re-watch it since I haven’t seen it in quite a while.
It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don’t think it made it’s money back. I’m sure in the long run it’s done ok.
Eh…it may have made money, but even back then it was panned as a huge misfire, and probably hurt Costner’s career for a while. There’s a reason it’s Sam’s favorite movie in Generation V. The kid who’s been held in psychiatric prisons his whole life.
Them: “Waterworld is crap, it’s just Mad Max on water”
Me: “that sounds awesome”

They had to build the main set twice because of a hurricane.
They also had a chunk of the budget set aside to digitally un-recede Costner’s receding hairline.
It is very entertaining. And universal created a live action show at their theme park in Hollywood based on it, that’s still running.
Dennis Hopper was just crushing it back in the day.
