I was reading an article about the latest Indy Jones movie, and it mentioned some sequels that have flopped. They said one of the biggest flops ever was Basic Instinct 2, which had a production budget of $70 million, and the domestic gross was $6 million. It did do better worldwide, earning $40 million, but no mention if DVD sales were good enough to help the movie break even.
