Dreamworks Lump of Coal

Dreamworks found a shiny black nugget in their stocking this year, in the form of Variety's article, which lists "Flushed Away" as one of the biggest flops of the year.



The article mentions that the film, which received very good reviews, only managed to make around $61 million at the box office, despite its budget of $150 million.

Maybe they should have stuck to making clay models out of clay, rather than investing millions of dollars in high-end computers to try to get the same result. It would be like my niece hiring a New York advertising firm to help her create the construction paper bookmarks she gives us every year for Christmas.
