Yesterday we made a selection about "The most profitable films of the last year". Naturally, we were talking about money, not about high art. You understand that when it comes to the success of commercial and mass cinema, the financial issue of box office receipts is at the forefront. And today's post is dedicated to the most unprofitable projects of the last year.
5th place - Kraven the Hunter
Loss: $71 million
Everyone knew that this would be an unimportant film, but not everyone could predict that it would take so much money from the studio.
4th place - Megalopolis
Loss: $75.5 million
The legendary Francis Ford Coppola is back. It will be sad if this film turns out to be the last in his career.
3rd place — Borderlands
Loss: $80 million
Not all popular video games make for a Last of Us-level film adaptation. And not all of them make as much money as Minecraft the Movie.
2nd place - Furiosa: The Mad Max Chronicles
Loss: $119.6 million
Unlike all the others on this list, Furiosa received good reviews from viewers. However, many people thought the very fact of making this film was unnecessary, and the box office receipts were modest. People just didn't show up.
1st place — Joker: Madness for Two
Loss: $144.25 million
"Joker" has long been criticized and ridiculed on all counts, but new anti-titles continue to catch up with it. This is not only the worst film of the year, but also the most unprofitable — now officially. Despite the fact that the first part became the highest-grossing in history of all films with an adult rating.
