The 10 Biggest Movie Flops of All Time (box office bombs)

The epic with which Disney wanted to start a new franchise. Instead, John Carter became the example of how to lose hundreds of millions. With a loss of around 250 million dollars, this remains the most expensive flop of all time.

Marvel seemed untouchable for years, until this sequel to Captain Marvel came along. The film became the lowest-grossing Marvel film ever and generated a loss of almost a quarter of a billion. A hard blow for the once mighty MCU.

Johnny Depp as Tonto and a great western production. What could go wrong? Well, almost everything. The film cost more than 225 million, but grossed far too little. A loss of around $190 million made this one of Disney's most painful projects.

An original Disney animated film that barely gained traction. With a gross of only 74 million worldwide against a huge budget, this became one of the biggest animation failures of recent years. Not even Disney+ could make up for the damage.

DC hoped to make a new start for their superhero universe with The Flash. Instead, it became an expensive disappointment. Despite a well-known character and cameos from old Batmans, the film is estimated to have lost around $200 million.

Starring Antonio Banderas and a production that got completely out of hand. Reshoots, a delayed release and mediocre reviews caused this epic to lose more than a hundred million. A textbook example of how everything can go wrong.

For years the example of a Hollywood flop. This pirate film with Geena Davis cost more than 100 million, but barely made anything back. The studio bankruptcy that followed made the film legendary. It wasn't until Pirates of the Caribbean came out that Hollywood dared to think about pirate films again.

Produced by Peter Jackson, based on a fantasy series with mobile cities. It sounded epic, but the crowd stayed away. In America the film even opened under ten million dollars. With an estimated loss of more than a hundred million, this was an expensive miss.

Guy Ritchie gave the myth of King Arthur a cool makeover. Unfortunately, almost no one wanted to see it. The film cost more than 175 million, but barely grossed more than that. About 150 million went up in smoke due to marketing and distribution.

Disney thought motion-capture animation would be the future. The public thought differently. With a budget of around 150 million dollars and a worldwide gross of only 39 million, this became one of the biggest animation flops ever.
