Waterworld is not a bomb, but rather a mere disappointment in relation to unintentionally massive cost. Despite eventually breaking even and (over the years) making an outright profit, Waterworld is still held up as a definitive Hollywood bomb. When the film finally opened in July of 1995, it earned mixed reviews and entirely decent box office. Initially planned as a $100 million “Mad Max on water” adventure, the Kevin Costner vehicle suffered from natural disasters, including a multimillion-dollar set being destroyed by a hurricane, rewrites, production setbacks and the like, which inflated the final cost to a then-record $175 million.
Waterworld opened in theaters 25 years ago today, riding on a wave of hyperbolic handwringing over its chaotic production and inflated budget. Kevin Costner’s post-apocalyptic adventure was less a water-logged commercial disaster and more a disappointment in relation to cost.
