Career-Ending Box Office Failures for Hollywood Celebrities

Kevin Costner’s time in Yellowstone has reignited his career, bringing renewed attention and acclaim. However, his peak box office draw, once exemplified by the success of Dances with Wolves, began to wane after the costly flops of Waterworld and The Postman.

The latter, which Costner directed and produced, was particularly challenging, as its critical and commercial failure marked a significant setback for him. These missteps led to a decline in Hollywood status. Still, his recent resurgence with Yellowstone has shown Costner’s resilience and ability to reinvent himself in the ever-changing entertainment landscape.
