After the epic sci-fi blockbuster John Carter bombed at the box office in 2012, it lost Disney so much money that it ended up firing its studio chief.
Despite Disney having high expectations John Carter would be a hugely successful blockbuster, it lost the company so much money Disney fired its studio chief. Loosely based on the novel A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, known for Tarzan and other classic pieces of literature, it starred Taylor Kitsch as war-weary military captain John Carter, who finds himself transported to the Red Planet and falling in love with the heroine at the center of Burroughs' book.
John Carter's Box Office Failure Lost Disney $200 Million Dollars John Carter remains Disney's most significant financial loss to date. With a production budget that initially ballooned to $306.6 million dollars, a British tax rebate was able to bring that number down to $263.7 million, but even so, that number didn't account for the $100 million dollars Disney spent on marketing alone.

Lee Sarokin, judge who freed 'Hurricane' Carter, dies at 94The federal judge who freed boxer Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and famously said tobacco companies engaged in a “vast” conspiracy to conceal the dangers of smoking has died in California. The San Diego Union-Tribune says H. Lee Sarokin died Tuesday in La Jolla at 94. Sarokin was a judge in New Jersey in 1985 when he threw out Carter's triple-murder conviction on grounds of racism. In 1988, Sarokin presided over a landmark liability case against tobacco companies. He said evidence showed the tobacco industry engaged in a conspiracy “vast in its scope, devious in its purpose and devastating in its results.” Evidence from that trial paved the way for a wave of future state lawsuits.
