Even though the rights to The Man From U.N.C.L.E. were secured in 1994 by producer John Davis, the film did not come to fruition until two decades later in 2015. Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer starred in the Cold War spy thriller, but it still ended up losing $83 million.

2005’s Sahara continues to strengthen the argument that film adaptations are never as good as their source material. Despite its cast featuring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, Sahara lost about $100 million. The book’s author, Clive Cussler, even sued the studio for breach of contract for how badly the film was executed.
