6. Gigi
In 1958, the musical romantic comedy Gigi won nine Oscars which set all kinds of records at the time. The film took home only $7,321,000 at the box office, and if we adjust for inflation that’s about $59,970,389. After the film was first screened, they decided to make some changes that would require more money and eleven days of reshoots. It ended up only making a profit of $1,983,000. The film won nine Academy Awards which was the first to do so, but then Ben-Hur broke that record with eleven wins just the following year.
