The higher you climb, the more painful it is to fall, or on the tongue film producers - the more expensive the film, the sadder that no one went. The film industry has long crossed the mark that sounds like "a film for 200 million dollars is normal, ”and therefore the number of bright Box office flops have only increased over the years.





We have collected some extremely expensive paintings to produce last decade that did not raise a decent amount of money in theaters and brought their studios huge losses.

Do you know what else these pictures have in common besides the terrible commercial fate? You have long forgotten about them or have not heard at all. This by no means projects of the level of the failed Shawshank Redemption or "Fight Club", so here we will even talk about a double failure.

Wrinkle in Time (2018)



Budget:

$125 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$130 million

In addition to being a box office failure, this film received the lowest ratings from viewers on aggregators. Average score of "Wrinkle in Time" is less than 5 out of 10.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)





Budget:

$200 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$133 million

This is the end of a fairly successful franchise. Michael Fassbender's face in the frame perfectly symbolizes all this.

Mystery of the Red Planet (cartoon, 2011)



Budget:

$150 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$100-144 million

A cartoon made using motion capture animation, from which the ominous valley blows.

Future Land (2015)



Budget:

$190 million + marketing costs (total $280-330 million)

Estimated loss:

$120-150 million

Peng: Journey to Neverland (2015)



Budget:

$150 million + marketing costs (about $275 million total)

Estimated loss:

$130-150 million

Every frame with Hugh Jackman from this film is worthy of becoming a meme, but this project did not save.

Sea battle (2012)



Budget:

$209 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$150 million

King Arthur's Sword (2017)



Budget:

$175 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$153 million

The name of the director Guy Ritchie did not help to attract more people to this, by the way, very good film.

Chronicles of Predatory Cities (2018)



Budget:

$110 million + marketing costs

Estimated loss:

$174 million

The Lone Ranger (2013)



Budget:

$215 million + marketing costs (about $375 million total)

Estimated loss:

$160-190 million

By the way, this is one of those amazing films that received nominations for both the Oscar (two) and the Golden Raspberry (five). You can see a whole list of paintings with the same achievement here.

John Carter (2012)



Budget:

$250 million + marketing costs (about $350 million total)

Estimated loss:

$113-200 million

So you think, probably, such losses, but none of directors of studios did not lose his position? And now, after the failure Disney director Rich Ross has left his post as John Carter.

In general, exactly half of the projects in this list are exactly Disney. Well, it wasn't the best decade. Truth after it Pandemic hit, but that's another story.

Никогда бы не подумал. Многие из этих фильмов мне очень понравились. Джон Картер, Морской бой, Мир будущего пересматривал по нескольку раз.
