Waterworld

About Waterworld

Waterworld is a 1995 post-apocalyptic science fiction film. The film stars Kevin Costner who also produced it. Waterworld was released in the United States on July 28, 1995.

Problems encountered during filming led to massive budget overrun, and it held the dubious distinction of being the most expensive film ever made at the time. Some critics dubbed it "Fishtar" and "Kevin's Gate" (references to the notorious flops Ishtar and Heaven's Gate). However the movie actually made a more than $100 million profit with worldwide sales. With a budget of $175 million, the film grossed $88 million at the U.S. box office, but topped its budget once overseas take was taken into account (grossing $176 million in foreign markets ).

Adjusted for inflation and expressed in 2006 dollars (USD), the budget for the movie was $231.6 million, and grossed $116.8 million at the U.S. box office and $232.9 million at the foreign box office.
