An expensive historical epic that was a disaster in more ways than one rains fire on the streaming Top 10

Paul W.S. Anderson has carved out a niche for himself over the last two decades as someone with a reputation for churning out monotonous video game adaptations, albeit ones that tend to do decent business at the box office. When he did try to branch out and tackle a blockbuster historical epic, Pompeii fittingly ended up going down in flames.

With an estimated budget of around $100 million, the effects-heavy retelling of the infamous historical incident as a disaster-driven romance flopped spectacularly after earning less than $118 million from theaters, while Kiefer Sutherland’s scenery-chewing performance earned him a Worst Supporting Actor nomination at the Razzies.
