Box office
Due to the runaway costs of the production and its expensive price tag, some critics dubbed it "Fishtar"[12] and "Kevin's Gate",[13] alluding to the flops Ishtar and Heaven's Gate, although the film debuted at the box office at #1.[14][15] With a budget of $172 million (not including marketing and distribution costs for a total outlay of $235 million),[2] the film grossed $88 million at the North American box office. The film did better overseas, with $176 million at the foreign box office, for a worldwide total of $264 million.[3] However, even though this figure surpasses the total costs spent by the studio, it does not take into account the percentage of box office gross that theaters retain, which is generally up to half;[2] but after factoring in home video sales and TV broadcast rights among other revenue streams, Waterworld eventually broke even.[16]
