this list we’ll be looking at those
summer blockbusters which were meant to
be huge hit but which fell flat on their
faces instead these movies need to have
had large budgets being released in the
summer that is between May and August
and be both critical and financial bombs
with emphasis on the financial never
under just a separate computer number 10
RIPD fraud we have to say thank goodness
for Deadpool because Ryan Reynolds
career was really starting to circle the
drain there this movie starring him and
an admittedly fun Jeff Bridges centers
around a dead police officer who joins
the rest in peace department a group of
fellow deceased officers to try and stop
the coming undead apocalypse just from
hearing back is it a wonder it flopped
defrosted Ashley Parker
the movie was absolutely destroyed by
critics and grossed only twelve million
dollars in his opening weekend leading
many people to label it a huge failure
r.i.p RIPD where’s the gold dead man
check the water here freakin some about
him number nine the 13th warrior
I pray thee God
companies had granted this movie opened
in the same month as The Sixth Sense
which was plowing through the box office
like a tornado in the summer of 99 but
it’s still a magnificent failure was led
to a brief retirement of Omar Sharif one
of its actors I did to me death the
folio places paint a loose adaptation of
Beowulf this movie stars Antonio
Banderas and features a pre badass story
of a court poet who joins forces with
Vikings to battle humanoid cannibals I
am NOT Delmar we are very soon you will
be no matter how cool it sounds the film
was pretty bad and grossed only 61
million dollars on a budget of a hundred
and sixty million making this one of the
worst box-office bombs ever what my
injury left number eight Super Mario
Brothers was just our own mistakes
I’m singing about the kangaroo this is
not the mario movie we needed or the one
we deserved this appalling adaptation of
the famous videogame is responsible for
giving us nightmares as children but not
in a good way
the film was immediately attacked by
both critics and fans for being
ridiculous and for being a terrible
adaptation of the game and the box
office reflected this dissatisfaction
earning only twenty point nine million
dollars on a 48 million dollar budget
Haley well we got you alien school Luigi
weird alien Nintendo immediately pulled
the plug on future live-action
adaptations and many of the actors have
since disowned the movie and called
working on it a nightmare number 7
Hudson Hawk you know you love me
it’s your job coming off the major
success is die hard 1 & 2 Bruce Willis
was the king of summer blockbusters and
Hudson Hawk hoped to continue that
streak
it didn’t while the movie was meant to
be a goofy slapstick comedy it was
marketed as an action film due to the
success of the Die Hard series as a
result audiences had a major case of
blue whiplash when they saw the movie
and it was immediately panned for its
childish and nonsensical sense of humor
afraid you weren’t gonna drop by my late
word spread and the movie grossed only
seventeen million dollars on a 65
million dollar budget it was going to be
tears you’re crying toner number six
Catwoman in the early 2000s superhero
films were finally starting to come into
their own and started making good cash
for their studios and then there’s cat
one universally panned for just
generally being utter drivel the movie
opened at number three on its opening
weekend which is not a great sign when
your movie cost a hundred million
dollars to make and it ended up grossing
only 82 million dollars worldwide work
seems like love yeah
now often consider to be one of the
worst movies of all time we’re lucky to
still have the superhero genre after
this catastrophe at least we’ll always
have that basketball scene number 5
The Lone Ranger why am I covered in dirt
because I buried you a rare misfire by
Disney this movie was the first Lone
Ranger and Tonto collaboration in third
two years and to say the demand wasn’t
very high would be an understatement the
awful critical reception also didn’t
help something very wrong with their
horse the movie wickedly underperformed
in its opening weekend and eventually
grossed only two hundred and sixty
million dollars while but may not sound
too bad
the New York Times estimated that the
movie needed to make an astounding eight
hundred million dollars just to break
even
and Disney eventually admitted that the
movie lost the company upwards of a
hundred and ninety million dollars so
much for Johnny Depp being a money
magnet oh no these were concerns number
four Jonah Hex will tell you afraid your
dead friend an adaptation of the DC
comic that no one was asking for Jonah
Hex follows the adventures of the title
character played by Josh Brolin as he
tries to stop the man who killed his
family from committing a terrorist
attack
unemployed the movie was viciously
attacked by both critics and audiences
for being nonsensical and wasn’t an
immediate bomb opening at number seven
and eventually grossing only 10 million
dollars on a 47 million dollar budget
she’s a common occurred most in that
respect it was such a failure that
Warner Brothers didn’t even give the
movie a wide international release and
soon enough
Jonah Hex was as dead as its protagonist
that all that was a change of room
number three Battlefield Earth wasted my
time
–kavitha adapted from elven Hubbard’s
novel about aliens who use humans to
mine gold Battlefield Earth was a huge
financial risk for many major studios
due to the content matter and its link
to Scientology it was eventually picked
up by an independent company and after
being funded by German contributors that
film’s budget totaled around 73 million
dollars you are pathetic you wouldn’t
last one day at the academy turns out
that the major studios were right as the
dome was immediately laughed at for
being awful in every conceivable way and
grossed just under 30 million dollars it
is still widely ridiculed to this day
and to think Travolta actually wanted a
sequel to humans number 2 gee Lee you
gotta good folks with you you know that
this terrible terrible film about two
criminals who fall in love is widely
considered to be one of the dumbest
movies of all time and for good reason
starring Ben Affleck before he became
good again and Jennifer Lopez hype was
high for this movie and the budget peak
at an past 9 75 million dollars as the
studio was banking on its stars it
failed spectacularly dropping a massive
eighty one point nine percent in its
second weekend and grossing only 7
million dollars the movie was eventually
taken out of theaters after only three

science fiction comedy with a massive
budget of a hundred million dollars and
some big names behind it like the ever
mentioned Murphy and John Cleese how did
they find us
