The movie Trojan War had a $15 million budget only made $309 total! Find out why

'Trojan War', starring Will Friedle and Jennifer Love Hewitt, was produced for $15 million. It's a romantic comedy that follows a young man's quest to get condoms so he can have safe sex with his longtime crush. Unfortunately for him, he runs into a lot of troubles on the way, which includes wrecking a car, getting pursued by various people, and nearly getting arrested.

Though this may sound like a typical teen romantic comedy, it didn't do so well. It only made $309 in ticket sales after being played in a single movie theater, and was pulled after only a week.

Most people assume this was to satisfy some sort of clause in the contract regarding the distrubtion and release methods.

This box office disaster currently boasts a 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
