Hollywood never seems to learn its
lesson welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
another top ten biggest box-office bombs
unwanted children – for this list we’re
basing our definition of failure not
just on how much of a financial flop a
film was but also on how much hyper
expectation there was surrounding it
prior to release good children know why
Jeff uh is in really a good time to get
depressed we’re also taking into
consideration the critical reception and
are comparing the funds put into
marketing and advertising with box
office returns I’ve sat in that chair
some take your time
ease into it number ten
RIPD goes on wheels fancy a supernatural
action comedy led by Ryan Reynolds and
Jeff Bridges your first reaction may be
heck yeah
give me a ticket you frosty
ashle huh marjoram as soon as you sit
down to watch this box-office bomb
however you are guaranteed to regret
that decision the universe and its
ultimate wisdom will not let you reveal
yourself it smarter than us a Sikh with
estimated losses of up to 114 million
dollars r.i.p d’s generic humor and lazy
plot about two dead cops hunting lost
souls sorely let down a movie that may
actually have had quite a bit of
potential talk about a picture that was
literally dead on arrival come on
tighten up number nine final fantasy the
Spirits Within what the hell is going on
we know that pretty much any film based
on a videogame is gonna be terrible but
many hoped that this computer animated
sci-fi flick based on the hugely popular
RPG series would finally deliver
alas the spirits within was truly a
final fantasy for square pictures
the games are driven by their compelling
stories but the film counterpart lacked
any semblance of an interesting plot
hell is that some what I think it is is
it
yes it’s Gaia this is definitely not a
good place to be while the animation was
praised so much was spent on that that
the production was estimated to have
lost almost 95 million dollars I’m not
entirely sure you seem pretty calm
number 8 Jack the giant slayer yes Anna
mommy isn’t this retelling of well-known
fairy tales was given the full treatment
when it came to special effects but
never received a good enough story to
justify such a monetary outlay for its
CGI
the public clearly agreed and an
approximate loss of 100 million dollars
is a testament to the fact that modern
film goers are no longer wowed by
effects alone why is it what people why
screaming only die do they think is
gonna help a protracted production cycle
that began way back in 2005 meant that
too many Minds added their ideas to the
mix baking for a real hot mess of a plot
and a disappointing showing at the box
office have you ever killed a giant
before and you’ve killed ball one which
makes you an expert now number seven
Titan a II you want to hunt humans
you should remember we travel in packs
combining animation techniques does
bring new life to the visuals of science
fiction movies but that’s the only
element of this title that breaks any
ground for the genre my scanners are
picking up a veritable cornucopia
nothing telling the tale of a spacecraft
in a post-apocalyptic world Titan AE
borrows too many aspects from superior
films to ever feel like something that
refreshes the saturated market of sci-fi
the human race is out of gas it’s
circling the drain that’s finished this
lack of imagination may be down to one
fire director being replaced by others
who were not keen on the genre hide and
seek is it or should we play Search and
Destroy even if that’s not to blame a
100 million dollar loss suggests
something went seriously wrong I just I
just like them to kill my food before
they serve it to me
number six forty-seven Ronin and yet to
know the story of the forty-seven Ronin
is to know the story of old Japan there
was a time in the past when Keanu Reeves
face on a poster was a simple recipe for
success but that time was about 15 years
before the release of this samurai based
fantasy flick you will never see in my
game milady
take a last look losing about 150
million dollars this is the second
biggest financial flop ever when
adjusted for inflation I knew it was you
I could see her belly sticking out from
behind the trees the general lack of
excitement for the film however means it
doesn’t rank higher on this list the
talented cast was provided with
superficial roles while the rest of
forty-seven Ronin
was mundane and hopelessly absent of
life we have now
number five Ishtar those vultures yeah
you fainted
this action comedy about to lounge
singers blundering their way into a Cold
War plot at a legendary production cycle
that involved a massive budget creative
disputes personal vendettas and a camel
that ended up getting eaten what are you
doing with the camera oh my so long
stories know someone things I thought
some believe the film is the worst ever
made and others believe it’s actually
rather good but the controversies
surrounding Ishtar still couldn’t
attract viewers to the cinema losing an
estimated 40 million dollars which was
especially disastrous back in the late
80s the film stands up as a brilliantly
complex example of the crazy world of
Hollywood excess the camel move the
camels II can wear anywhere is on my
foot number four Green Lantern we’re
going to fly now fly Ryan Reynolds has
taken on some questionable projects over
the years but this may well be the worst
he’s ever done that’s good advice thanks
gorgeous the Green Lantern was a
disaster waiting to happen as it went
through various states of production for
around 15 years what’s with all
screaming great is the color of will
honnest will because it’s the strongest
source of energy I mean it did no
justice to the source material upon
which it was based as mediocre effects
and a laughable script resulted in
upwards of 90 million dollars worth of
losses in an era of exceptional comic
book films this dud hearkened back to
the era of Joel Schumacher and bat
nipples this is why Superman works alone
number three John Carter Disney was
requiring massive ticket sales for this
sci-fi fantasy to make its huge budget
back you can’t stand by me this my kid
today unfortunately for the House of
mouse the general public had little
interest in the premise of this
overblown film hmm are ugly but you are
beautiful and you fight like I thought
it did have impressive visuals and
relatively enthralling action but lacked
a coherent story and quality acting to
support its stronger points alright
you’ve got me I surrender John Carter
was an unbridled financial disaster for
Disney as it lost over 120 million
dollars with some sources claiming up to
200 million head honcho rich Ross was
even forced to resign as leader of the
company so used to churning out hits
still men
number two The Lone Ranger
something very wrong with that horse
another flop that contributed to a tough
couple of years for Disney this Western
was torn apart by critics who despised
its length over reliance on
incomprehensible action and cringe
inducing dialogue great shot
I’m supposed to be a warning shot in
that case not so good as well as
controversy emerging regarding the
casting of Johnny Depp as a Native
American the film failed to squeeze any
life out of a once popular genre
decrying boy Indian it also failed to
appeal to Disney’s target demographic
and ended up losing countless millions
with some estimates calculating up to
120 million go ahead
Jilla
she tends to land on her feet it appears
the Lone Ranger will never ride again
Lone Ranger Rangers are dead before we
reveal our top flop here are some
honorable or in this case dishonorable
mentions I will tell you this for sure
in any of its many forms I have found
that nothing beats fun
maybe purpose are you brave pizza oh I
tried to be you’re scared because a
dream was the only way any of this makes
sense
compared to what the idea that you’re
the only intelligent species
I need that weapon it’s the only thing
that counts I figure you owe me I don’t
say it that way oh you want a piece of
me Jim man be cool I’m an undercover
robot from Metro City I knew it
Faymann ever much an ocean number one
Tomorrowland
this is a story about the future the
future can be scary
Disney completes their clean sweep of
the podium positions on this list with a
sci-fi mystery adventure that never
quite knew what it was trying to achieve
you see that did you see that David I
know that you saw that that means that
there is a chance there’s at least a
chance it flits between all-out action
and bombarding you with a cautionary
message the only mystery ends up being
how you can fathom the pinballing plot
why are we going back one note
three to another dimension so we blasted
into outer space just to get a running
start this part may be a little weird
it’s still unclear how much money the
film lost but early estimates placed it
at up to 75 million while others
calculate an amount closer to 140
million wait just like the fictional
world the film takes place in
Tomorrowland was ultimately flawed
despite so much potential
oh dear too late do you agree with our
list which box-office duds did you
wisely stay away from it’s unbearable
you will get used to it why should I
have to I’m invested in it for more
interesting top 10s published every day
