How can you do multiple great movies, do one failure and close up shop? That's not healthy.

Hoffman was reflecting on it, or maybe asked about it in an interview. His response was something like โ€œinto everybodyโ€™s life an Ishtar must fallโ€. Not sure why that stuck with me but I chuckle about it whenever it surfaces.

From what I gather, Coca-Cola was already starting to think a movie studio investment was more volatile than anticipated then WHAM this flop movie sends them the bill.

I was a manager of a movie theater showing Ishtar. It was the only movie I screened where patrons demanded their money back. I gave it to them.
