Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Blind Wink Productions, and Infinitum Nihil, production was plagued with problems and budgetary concerns, which at one point almost led to the film's premature cancellation.[5] The film premiered at the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure Park on June 22, 2013, and was released theatrically in the United States on July 3, 2013. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed only $260.5 million worldwide against an estimated $225–250 million production budget and an additional $150 million in marketing costs, making it one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time, losing Disney over $160–190 million.[2] It was nominated at the 86th Academy Awards in two categories for Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.[6]
