本期节目探讨了电影行业的商业风险,特别是那些票房惨败的“票房炸弹”案例。节目指出,电影既是艺术也是商业,大型制片厂投资巨大,期望获得投资回报,但实际情况是,很多电影只能做到收支平衡,甚至出现巨额亏损。节目分析了多个票房炸弹案例,包括早期默片时代的《党同伐异》、经典影片《美好的生活》、以及制作成本极高的《埃及艳后》等。这些案例说明,票房失败的原因多种多样,既有影片本身质量问题,也有市场因素、制作成本超支等原因。节目还特别提到了近年来由于通货膨胀导致的制作成本增加,使得票房炸弹的亏损额度越来越大,未来可能出现亏损超过3亿美元的电影。

Chapters
D.W. Griffith's 'Intolerance' (1918), a silent film epic, is considered one of the first major box office bombs. Despite critical acclaim and being a follow-up to the successful 'Birth of a Nation,' 'Intolerance' failed to achieve similar box office success, largely due to its release during World War I when public interest was elsewhere.
  • 'Intolerance' was one of the first major box office bombs.
  • The film was released during World War I, which contributed to its poor performance.
  • Despite its financial failure, 'Intolerance' is still considered a great film of the silent era.

Most of the time, a film will break even. However, in a few spectacular cases, a disastrous film has ruined a studio.
