Movies That Totally Tanked At The Box Office (15 pics)

The lowest gross profit was $3.4 million. I wish I had only $3.4 million

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that is not gross profit and probably gross revenue which means the movie lost about $40m.

With $100 million you can build medium size airport in Poland

The Lone Ranger (2013)
Estimated Budget: $225 million
WTF?! I must've been f-ing most expensive sand...

Yeah, but they lost 41 million!

And Waterworld is always called a "flop"for some reason, when it's not even close to being one. Here are the actual numbers:

Budget: $175 million
Total Gross: $264,218,220 M (not $88 M).

That's almost a $90 million dollar profit...

(The total gross is halfway down the page in that link- ignore the domestic gross at the top, which is the number they gave in this article)

No surprise with many of these attempts at movies.

Uh-oh. Brendan Fraser was involved in two of these (#6 and #15.) Were there any other repeat performers?

Lone Ranger was an epic movie. Surprised me when i watched it.

keep in mind that for top blockbuster (like iceage, ironman, pirates of the caribbean and lone ranger) the marketing budget is like half of the total production budget.
= lone ranger pissed away 100M on commercials, adds and happy meal toys

I torrented that bitch and could only sit through 30 minutes of it. And I want that half hour back.

and what about john carter
Budget: $263,700,000
Gross: $73,058,679

Alright.

the lone ranger was a flop because it sucked. Waterworld was decent, 47 Ronin was decent, but the rest were snoozers...

As you can see in your link, those numbers are only based on grosses within USA... If they didn't ignored the rest of the world, all those movies made profits

woah

...waterworkd was decent? What drugs are you on and where can I get some? That movie had more holes than a colander.

I thought Water World was an awesome movie

No, I checked all the others before I posted that, and they all reflect the total world-wide gross. None of them profited, other than Waterworld. And nobody ignored the rest of the world, AC (a European site) just made a mistake on the one.
