Waterworld was a 1995 film that was co-produced by Kevin Costner and directed by Kevin Reynolds. It is a science fiction film in the post-apocalyptic genre. It has frequently been called "Mad Max on Jet skis".
Problems encountered during filming massively escalated the film's budget, and it held the unfortunate distinction of being the most expensive film ever made (at the time), causing some critics to dub the movie "Fishtar" and "Kevin's Gate" (references to the notorious flops Ishtar and Heaven's Gate). With a budget of $175 million, the film only grossed $88 million at the U.S. box office, and was initially considered to be one of the biggest flops ever made. However, the film was more successful overseas. Expressed in 2005 dollars, (USD), the budget for the movie was $229 million, and grossed $115.3 million at the U.S. box office and $229.9 million at the foreign box office.* Film studios typically receive only 55% of gross revenues and these figures do not include promotional costs, or rental or broadcast revenues. It is not known if Universal ultimately recouped all its costs.
