biggest box office flop ever?

$44,000,000 (estimated)

Opening Weekend:
$12,032 (USA) (19 November 1980) (2 Screens)

What are some other big budget films that lost most of their money?

Hollywood accounting is notoriously unreliable so it's difficult to know exactly how much money a movie made or lost, but here's a list of the biggest box office bombs according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biggest_box_office_bombs

According to that list Cutthroat Island (1995), The Alamo (2004), The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002), Sahara (2005), The 13th Warrior (1999), Town & Country (2001), Mars Needs Moms (2011), and Speed Racer (2008) lost more money adjusted for inflation than Heaven's Gate (1980).
