5 Classic Movies That Ruined Their Makers’ Careers

#5. Life of Pi Bankrupted the Special Effects Studio
Even though the movie grossed over $600 million and won four Academy Awards (including special effects), Rhythm & Hues went bankrupt shortly after its release. Remember during the Oscars ceremony when that one guy tried to say something but got cut off by the theme from Jaws, and everyone laughed? Yeah, he was trying to tell you that the same company that created those impressive visuals is now in the gutter.
How is this possible? Well, it’s mainly because visual effects is a flawed industry with a business model that is impossible to succeed in. In order to save money, movie studios tend to contract VFX companies on a “fixed fee,” meaning that after a certain amount of takes, the VFX guys are forced to cover the costs. So, when an unfilmable picture like Life of Pi requires extra work, the visual companies end up “paying for the movie.” In the end, Rhythm & Hues didn’t see a penny from those $600 million.

”Your books were in your desk
I guess and some unfinished
Chaos in your head
Was dumped to nothing by the great janitress
Of destinies.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, from an unfinished poem written in 1940, shortly before his death. (via gatzzby)

Season 1 : No, sir. Not before everything. Look, we’ve still got the Colt. We still have the one bullet left. We just have to start over, alright? I mean, we already found the demon.....
Season 2 : We got work to do
Season 3 : SAM!
Season 4 : Dean, he's coming...
Season 5 : No doubt -- endings are hard. But then again... nothing ever really ends, does it?
Season 6 : I'm glad you made it, Sam. But the angel blade won't work, because I'm not an angel anymore. I'm your new God. A better one. So you will bow down and profess your love unto me, your Lord. Or I shall destroy you.
Season 7 : Cas!
Season 8 : Angels... They're falling
