Ishtar was really really bad. And expensive
Hoffman was reflecting on it, or maybe asked about it in an interview. His response was something like โinto everybodyโs life an Ishtar must fallโ. Not sure why that stuck with me but I chuckle about it whenever it surfaces.

The film industry wasn't worth it, in the CEOs eyes.
Wow I've heard of this Ishtar but that must have been BAD
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.
Wow

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