Town & Country is a 2001 film starring Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton and directed by Peter Chelsom. It is a romantic comedy in which Beatty plays a New York City architect Porter Stoddard and Keaton plays his wife Ellie. The movie was, by some calculations, the largest money loser of any movie ever made, based on absolute dollars lost. [1]
The production costs of the film totaled US$105 million, not including distribution and marketing expenses. The total world-wide box office came to US$10,365,000. Considering that typically half of the gross box-office receipts go to the exhibitors and half to the filmmakers, Town & Country lost the studio at least US$100 million, and probably much more if costs for distribution and marketing are considered, which average around US$35–50 million for a studio picture such as this.
