Would they mean "Dead Calm"? No, that one is 1989 and was rather successful.
So, how about "Waterworld"? That was released in 1995. It sounds like the right film to me because it's a rather dreadful one that couldn't have possibly come near to making back its extravagant cost.
There's another possibility. "Speed 2: Cruise Control" (1997) has been deemed "BOMB" by a number of critics, so it's another possibility. The critics detested this one except Roger Ebert, if I recall correctly, who said that any film that showed him something new wasn't a total loss, and he had certainly never seen a luxury liner plow through a port city! *giggle* I LIKE "Speed 2" more than "Speed", which was just a speeding bus with an explosive device. "Speed 2" was more of an adventure, not just an exercise in driving fast.
Weirdly, critics seem to be enraptured with the words "dead in the water". I've seen dozens of critiques that use these words even for landlocked films! One uses them for "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl"! Woah! Was HE ever wrong!
My best guesses are "Speed 2: Cruise Control" then "Waterworld", which critics and most of the audience hated.

I would say Waterworld. Costed 10 times more to make than it brought in.
