arrival welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movies so bad they were
pulled from theaters before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content for
this list we’re looking at movies that
bombed so badly and got such terrible
reception from moviegoers that their
Studios stopped showing them
theatrically to lessen the damage they
caused I know what I need to do number
10 Mordecai I had no idea I was so deep
and I just hope remember when Johnny
Depp’s name alone was more than enough
to guarantee a movie’s financial
security oh how the mighty have fallen
it seemed like Depp star power had
dwindled when he appeared in this flop
from director David Koepp make me feel
good the r-rated crime caper comedy
received scathing reviews and made less
than five million dollars on its opening
weekend despite also starring Gwyneth
Paltrow Ewan McGregor and Jeff Goldblum
in its third weekend Lionsgate just up
and pulled it from almost 2,400 theaters
as such the film remains one of the most
embarrassing blemishes on Depp’s once
honorable career become bearable number
9 swept away what have you done to me
Madonna is an incredible star but she
hasn’t really made the best choices
throughout her film career not only is
this remake of a 1974 Italian film a
poor use of the Queen of Pop it’s also a
poor use of her then-husband director
Guy Ritchie you can love me anyway I
want to know his venture into rom-com
territory proved fruitless as critics
declared the film a disaster resulting
in a 5 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes
initially released to only 196 screens
for two weeks and leaving cinemas and
only 59 the film barely made less than
600,000 dollars domestically during its
run where’s God you made him number 8
seeking justice nobody said anything the
agreement about killing anybody
get the hell out of my life Nicolas Cage
seems to take any role that comes his
way these days with a couple of
exceptions most of them have been
unremarkable but none more so than this
2011 action thriller it received the
critical reception you’d expect from a
run-of-the-mill page fronted action
movie meaning a 27% rating on Rotten
Tomatoes I really don’t know what you’re
talking about but as bad as it’s
critical failure was its commercial
failure was even worse over the course
of three weeks it dropped from just over
200 theaters to eight theaters making
less than five hundred thousand dollars
in the u.s. unfortunately Cage didn’t
learn from this experience as he found
himself facing a similar situation the
next year with the film stolen number
seven max steel you’re not Jim McGrath
sauntering no big stars based off a
series of toys a zero percent rating on
Rotten Tomatoes it’s like this movie was
tailor-made for this list with a film
based on the Mattel toys and animated
series of the same name open road films
was probably expecting a franchise
starter with this high-tech superhero
film they had their hopes dashed when
the film was met with a critical
beatdown making only 2.2 million on its
first weekend far below even the lowest
expectations why am I telling you this
because I’m here for you max after being
in release for three weeks the movie was
pulled from theaters solidifying its
position as one of the biggest bombs of
2016 I can’t
number six mr. Magoo most of the movies
on this list are here just because they
were critical in commercial bombs while
this live-action adaptation of the
beloved cartoon was definitely both of
those things it got pulled because of
the outcry from a very specific group
despite the disclaimer at the end it
stated Leslie Nielsen’s bumbling
portrayal of the nearsighted title
character was not meant to be an
accurate depiction Disney was forced to
pull the film from theaters after two
weeks due to protests and outcry from
blind and nearsighted groups usually
sight for sore eyes
the British Federation of the blind even
petitioned to ban the film’s UK release
as it would quote bring ridicule upon
blind and partially sighted people
justic ugliest child I’ve ever seen
number 5
Galgo
starring Freddie Prinze jr. and Anne
Bancroft in her last role this
computer-animated feature cost 40
million dollars to make delgo received a
critical beating for mostly being a poor
retread of better fantasy films and was
released during a holiday season that
had many superior cinematic offerings
for families because of this
delgo set a record nobody wants to earn
it had the worst opening for a film
playing in over 2,000 theaters at the
time and is the lowest grossing computer
animated film of all time it made less
than a million dollars and was quickly
forgotten about leaving theaters after a
mere week number four Jem and the
Holograms truly truly this film was
based on the animated series about Jem
and her band the Holograms but failed to
capture the spirit of its source
material because of this and four
reviews the musical adventure earned the
distinction of having the worst wide box
office opening of 2015 and the fourth
worst ever for a film playing in over
2,000 theaters your internet payment
perfect the second such thing – being
actually famous then in an unprecedented
move Universal pulled the film from it’s
still wide release two weeks after it
opened something that had never been
done for a film release on this level it
ended with 2.3 million dollars and the
broken hearts of many children of the
80s do you think this is it number three
the Garbage Pail Kids movie we need a
plan man it’s the film that the New York
Times called quote – repulsive for
children or adults of any age nobody was
going to see this movie when it was
released resulting in an opening weekend
where it made only 661 thousand dollars
[Applause]
my tummy err what did you eat everything
most likely sensing that having this
cinematic abomination in theaters for a
prolonged amount of time would only
cause pain to moviegoers the studio
pulled it from cinemas but the damage
was done in its short run the movie made
1.6 million dollars and subjected an
entire generation of families to an hour
and a half of unfunny gross-out humor
garbage indeed well perhaps it would
have been safe as it left him away from
the world number two Schiele Oh tell me
what we’re supposed to do the early
2000s romance between Ben Affleck and
Jennifer Lopez was fuzzy enough to keep
the tabloid industry afloat for a few
years but could their love affair
successfully translate to the silver
screen the short answer is no the long
answer is this 75 million dollar rom-com
tanked harder than any other movie in
2003 when in case you’re interested my
life sucks in its second weekend Geely
dropped by nearly 82 percent and by the
third only 73 theaters in the US were
showing it unprecedented flop for such a
big-budget film in addition to being
withdrawn from US cinemas it was dropped
by nearly every theater in the UK after
its critical destruction I don’t find

of Chris Hemsworth and Viola Davis but
the legendary Michael Mann also directed
it however it was saddled with a January
release date alongside the wide release
of the juggernaut that was American
sniper plus the reviews were mostly
mixed because of this the 70 million
dollar film earned a mere 4.4 million on
its opening weekend one of the worst
debuts ever for a wide release you still

opens after only two weeks Universal
pulled the film from all but 236
theaters down from its widest release of
