BP ended up buying 32 of the machines as part of the on-going cleanup at an unreported price. For this list only movies with an initial release in 1977 or more recently are considered. Movies released in 2005 or earlier are highlighted because we dont have home market data before 2006. They offered their technology, which allegedly can separate 97 to 99% of the oil out of water at the rate of 200 gallons a minute, to BP. More data and/or additional revenue can result into this movie making more profit and moving up on this list. In the Waterworld film and wider franchise, a heavily modified trimaran - perhaps the last of its type in the ocean-covered world - is the signature vessel and. Due to the speed-based design, trimarans are often used in yacht racing. When the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Costner and team were ready to spring into action. A trimaran is a type of three-hulled sailing vessel, with a central hull and two outrigger hulls (or floats) attached with lateral beams. Costner’s partner, the company’s CEO John Houghtaling, called the machine a “kind of like a big vacuum cleaner.” For 15 years, he and his business partners refined the technology, waiting for the next great oil spill disaster. The technology? A machine which uses centrifugal force to separate oil from water. The movie inspired him to learn more about separating oil from water and he decided to invest in emerging oil spill cleanup technologies: He purchased a company - including some intellectual property - from the U.S. Overseas revenues ultimately made up the cost of the movie, but Waterworld still has a reputation as a failure. The movie made back less than half of its cost domestically. I can imagine a new Waterworld movie.bigger and better just like Fury Road Maybe a bit more background.
Waaaaay more impressive, same immersive story and characters.
It was, at that point, the most expensive movie ever made. Mad Max Fury Road (has been on TV last week I think) was a MASSIVE masterpiece. In 1995, Kevin Costner released Waterworld, a grand post-apocalyptic movie which he produced, directed, and even starred in.
