The Mythic Adventures

The Mythic Adventures is a 2003 fantasy animated film produced by Paramount Feature Animation for Paramount Pictures. It follows a man who tries to stop an evil sorcerer from taking over the realm, but ends up getting transformed into a dragon as a result, while the sorcerer gets banished to a faraway dungeon. Years later, the sorcerer returns to wreck havoc on the kingdom, and the dragon must now figure out how to put a stop to the sorcerer while being accompanied by a deer and a lovely lady who is secretly a pawn for the sorcerer.

The film was directed by Jill Culton in her directorial debut, who wrote the script along with Todd Alcott, and starred Ben Affleck, Matthew Fox, Hilary Swank and Lisa Kudrow.

The film was released in the United States on November 26, 2003. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, and made $75 million worldwide on a $80 million budget, making it a box office bomb. The financial failure of the film ultimately led to the closure of Paramount Feature Animation before reviving in 2011 as Paramount Animation.

Box office
The Mythic Adventures was expected to gross $30-35 million in its opening 5-day Thanksgiving weekend. After making just $5.7 million from 3,000 theaters, expectations were lowered to $20 million. The film ended up making $19.5 million in its opening weekend and finished 3rd behind Elf. The film ended up grossing $37.5 million in North America and $37.5 million in other territories for its $75 million worldwide.

Based on the box office receipts, Paramount announced that the film lost $350 million and has been one of the under-performing family movies of 2003 alongside Game Players. According to director Mark Eisen, its poor marketing and tough family film competition might be possible reasons for its box office flop.
