The Steven Spielberg Sci-Fi Epic That Killed An Entire Movie Studio

After making it through the chaos of the studio, We’re Back next faced the harsh criticisms of test audiences who ordered a million dollars in changes.

Even a hodge-podge of the 90s best actors (including John Goodman, Felicity Kendal, Charles Fleischer, Jay Leno, Walter Kronkite, and Martin Short) couldn’t save the feature.

While there was potential for a charming comedy about dinosaurs, the film ended up becoming a movie about life lessons featuring a couple of whiney pre-teens, neither of which enticed audiences to pay money to see the film at the theaters.

The disappointingly toothless attempt to replicate the success of Jurassic Park left We’re Back struggling at the box office. The optioned sequel, Going Hollywood, never saw the light of day, and Amblimation itself expired after the release of Balto (which also tanked at the box office).
