Line 88:
* ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' (2002) -- Budget, $140 million, Box office, 109,578,115. This and the failure of ''[[Home on the Range]]'' led Disney to ([[The Princess and the Frog|temporarily]]) abandon the traditional animation format.
* ''[[Zyzzyx Road]]'' (2006) -- Budget: $2 million. Box office: $30. Yes, thirty bucks. To be fair, the film received only a one-week domestic release (playing one screen in Dallas) to comply with Screen Actors Guild rules. The producer had no intention otherwise of opening it in the U.S. until after it had foreign distribution. (Foreign gross to date: $368,000.)
* ''[[Lightyear]]'' (2022) -- Budget: $200 million (not counting marketing costs, estimated to be several times the budget). Box office: ~$106 million (as of 45 days after launch). Attempts to blame its poor showing on theaters being down were thwarted by adjacently launching runaway hits ''[[Top Gun: Maverick]]'' <ref>Which entered the top five highest domestic grossing films ''of all time'' less than three months after release at a time sales hadn't even plateaued.</ref> and ''[[Minions]]'' <ref>As one would expect an animated film for children going up against a Disney movie to be the bomb.</ref>.
