This 2005 Jamie Foxx robot fighter pilot non-epic cost upwards of $135 million but only took in around $13mil on its opening weekend. (It eventually accrued close to $77 mil worldwide, which was still not enough to get it out of the red.)

The movie also faced numerous lawsuits, including one by a party who claimed copyright of the term "stealth." By the end of this disaster, it's safe to say Columbia Pictures wished they'd let the guy have it.

'Delgo' came out in 2008 and never made its mark. It cost $40 million to make, enough to warrant some attention, but brought in less than $1 million in its opening weekend, earning it the title of lowest-grossing opening weekend of all time. The filmmakers blamed poor marketing, but the ugly animation and bland story probably had something to do with its failure. Sadly, 'Delgo' was the last film work of the great actress Anne Bancroft. Mrs. Robinson deserved better.

Then: Vitar’s character Benny "The Jet" Rodriquez was the oldest and by far the best baseball player of the ‘Sandlot’ bunch. He also acted as Smalls' protector when the other kids mocked him for his lack of skill. Rodriguez was Vitar’s biggest role as a child actor, but you may also remember him from another '90s sports movie franchise -- Vitar played Luis Mendoza in the second and third installment of Disney's 'The Mighty Ducks.'

Then: By the time Brandon Quintin Adams was cast as pitcher Kenny DeNunez in 'The Sandlot,' he was already a showbiz vet. The Topeka, Kansas native’s acting debut was in the 1988 Michael Jackson film 'Moonwalker' and he had been featured in 'A Different World,’ ‘Empty Nest’ and ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.' Like 'Sandlot' teammate Mike Vitar, Adams also showed off his hockey skills, appearing as Jesse Hall in 'The Mighty Ducks' and the sequel 'D2: The Mighty Ducks.'

Then: Marty York played Alan "Yeah-Yeah" McClennan, who had a habit of beginning his sentences with his double affirmative nickname. Following his acting debut in 'The Sandlot,' York made appearances 'Saved by the Bell' and 'Boy Meets World.'

Then: Grant Gelt played second baseman Bertram Grover Weeks who, despite his somewhat dorky looks, was the team’s tobacco-chewing, counter-culture loving rebel. 'The Sandlot' came in the middle of fairly busy career for Gelt. Among his other credits were movies like the Steven Seagal classic 'Marked for Death' and TV shows such as 'Boy Meets World,' 'Life Goes On' and 'Northern Exposure.'
