Upon release, the film was panned by critics and hemorrhaged money at the box office. In 2014, the Los Angeles Times listed the film as one of the costliest box- office flops ever made. However, despite that false start, Marvel Comics, now part of the Walt Disney Company stable, has had more than ten billion-dollar-grossing films to its name.
