Prejuízo de 50 milhões de dólares: Estes dois fracassos de bilheteria de Bruce Willis quase acabaram com sua carreira
Apesar de sucessos como Pulp Fiction, Os 12 Macacos, Armageddon e O Sexto Sentido, Bruce Willis estrelou alguns fracassos nos anos 90.

Depois dos sucessos com Duro de Matar, Olha Quem Está Falando e Duro de Matar 2, Bruce Willis enfrentou o primeiro fracasso da sua carreira com A Fogueira das Vaidades (1990), de Brian De Palma, estrelado por Tom Hanks e Melanie Griffith.
Com orçamento estimado em US$ 47 milhões, a produção arrecadou pouco mais de 15 milhões de dólares e também foi massacrado pela crítica, com cinco indicações ao Framboesa de Ouro. Willis se arrependeu de ter estrelado A Fogueira das Vaidades, afirmando que "o filme já estava morto antes de chegar aos cinemas".
