* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $25 million. Box office, $1,513,793. This suffered a very TroubledProduction due to constant recasts, director Lynne Ramsey quitting on the first day of shooting and replaced by Gavin O'Connor, and its production company Relativity Media filing for bankruptcy. The end result was dumped in [[DumpMonths early January]] as distributor Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany [[InvisibleAdvertising barely bothered with marketing]]. It was dismissed by critics and audiences, opening at number 17 for its weekend, making it the worst opening of Creator/NataliePortman's career. Adding insult to injury, it also suffered a staggering 83.5% drop over its second weekend, the third largest on record.

* TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment: Was among the Creator/RelativityMedia casualties and it did its TroubledProduction no favors. Originally set for a September 4, 2015 release after its February 20 date got pushed back, the film was removed from the schedule entirely and Relativity had to give up on the rights. The Weinstein Company (who co-produced the film) handled the US release, opening it on January 29, 2016 (when it bombed, giving Creator/NataliePortman the first of two consecutive commercial bloody noses, as ''Film/PrideAndPrejudiceAndZombies'' [on which she was one of the producers] opened and underperformed the following week).

* TroubledProduction: The film experienced a ''very'' [[http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/jane-got-a-gun-lawsuit.php turbulent production]] before it even started filming.
** The film was set to go in early 2013, with Creator/NataliePortman starring in and producing the film, Lynne Ramsay (maker of the film adaptation of ''Film/WeNeedToTalkAboutKevin'') directing, Creator/MichaelFassbender playing the ex-lover of Portman's character, and Joel Edgerton as the villain. Before production began, Fassbender dropped out, causing Edgerton to take his role and Creator/JudeLaw to take the role that Edgerton had vacated.
** The real problems started on what was to be the first day of filming, when Ramsay dropped out for reasons unknown. Accounts as to why she did so vary wildly; while she has cited CreativeDifferences and contract issues, the studio claims that she was drunk, disruptive, and abusive to the cast and crew, and had slacked off on some of the duties in her contract. The studio subsequently sued Ramsay for breach of contract, with Ramsay in turn counter-suing for defamation of character; both cases were eventually settled out of court.
** Jude Law dropped out the day after Ramsay left, as he had signed on to the film mainly to work with her. Law and Ramsay were subsequently replaced with Creator/BradleyCooper and Gavin O'Connor (director of ''Film/{{Warrior}}''), respectively. Not long after, Cooper himself was forced to drop out, as his film ''Film/AmericanHustle'' had been delayed by the Boston Marathon bombings, jamming up his schedule; Cooper was subsequently replaced by Creator/EwanMcGregor. The film's planned August 2014 release was now little more than wishful thinking, and the film was kicked back to February and then September of 2015 ([[DumpMonths not a great sign]]).
** As if the indignity of Ramsay's high-profile departure wasn't enough, the film's distributor, Relativity Media, was in the throes of bankruptcy at the time and was forced to [[http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Course-Natalie-Portman-Jane-Got-Gun-Has-More-Behind-Scenes-Problems-74177.html drop the film]] from its release schedule and turn it over to Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany, pushing its release back ''again''.
** The film finally landed in theaters in January 2016 (after a year and a half of delays overall) with mixed reviews from critics, who felt that its production troubles readily showed on screen, and a resounding thud at the box office, making well under a million dollars in the worst-grossing wide release (about 1,200 theaters) of Portman's career.
