2015 Box Office Flops

Leo
You missed The Gunman because that film flopped earlier this year too. Budget was $40 million, total gross was only about $11 million.
- C.M. Brandt
  Thanks for the reminder! I was going to wait until its overseas run finished before doing a write-up, but it came and went so quickly that I wouldn’t have even noticed it until its home video release.

Leading up to its release on Blu-ray on July 28, there’s also The Water Diviner. Budget: $22.5 million. Gross is $15 million worldwide.
- BoxOfficeFlops
  Box Office Mojo and the other numbers sites have incomplete data on The Water Diviner. Mojo has the total foreign gross as $11.3m and yet lists the successful Australia gross as $12.2m. Of the posted numbers, the film pulled in about $30m and it did receive a theatrical release in almost every market, despite the numbers not being posted. I don’t know what the final worldwide numbers are, but its well over $30m.

Make sure to include In the Heart of the Sea.

  It’s on the front page

You probably should get Point Break (2015) ready - $105 million production budget + marketing costs
- BoxOfficeFlops
  It’s definitely toast in the US. It’s overseas rollout goes through the end of Feb. Lets see how it does.
  - Tyler
    Well, Point Break has now ended its domestic run with around $28 million. Add in around $100 million overseas…I think it’s time that this unnecessary remake places on this list.
    - BoxOfficeFlops
      I think you are right! I’ll get it posted soon.
Daniel Garrett Irwin
You should also get Joy ready. $60 million production budget plus marketing costs.

What about Will Smith’s films this year? Especiallly Concussion
- BoxOfficeFlops
  Concussion has its overseas rollout through April. Just waiting for its final cume. Focus made $160m on a $50m budget.
Leo
I think you can add Steve Jobs right about now.

Has anyone added “Terminator: Genisys” to the list?? It cost $155 million to make, and another $100 million to release.
- Tyler
  It still made $440 million worldwide - not exactly a flop, but a pretty big disappointment nonetheless.
  - Tristan Michels
    It’s not a disappointment. Yeah, the film didn’t do well in the USA, but 440 million dollars on a film that cost 155 million dollars to make? THAT’S A LOT MORE THAN THE BREAK EVEN POINT! This film needed to make at least 400 million dollars to break even, and that was what happened! It still did very good in the box office!

What about the Entourage movie?

More movies to add:
- Joy ($60m budget, $101.1m gross)
- Black Mass ($53m budget, $99.8m gross)
- Entourage ($30m budget, $49.3m gross)
Bob Knee
Would Chi-Raq work?
- BoxOfficeFlops
  Didn’t cost much and was released by Amazon on Amazon just a few weeks after it had a limited run — which was intended only for award consideration. It was also a freebee for Prime users. It received critical acclaim and was used by Amazon to attract more subscribers — no different than any number of Netflix movies.
The Pug Lover
Someone nice took Pixels off the list because Wreck-It Ralph is a very bad film, and the one I said is Q*Bert’s very own movie.
- Tristan Michels
  I’m glad someone decided to take ”Pixels” on this list. Sure, you can say all you want about that film(because I SURE DID!), but at least it made 245 million dollars on a fairly huge budget of 125 million dollars, which is at least okay. Sure, it was disappointing for Sony, but at least they made an okay profit. And by the way, ”Wreck-It Ralph” is a great film, just what are you thinking?
  - Tristan Michels
    I mean off.
Tristan Michels
I think ”Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip” deserves to be on this list. It cost about 90-100 million dollars to make(and about 25 million dollars to market), and while it made a respectable 235 million dollars worldwide, it bombed because of having to compete with ”Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, (WHICH MADE MORE THAN THAT ON IT’S OPENING WEEKEND, IN THE USA, AND BECAME THE FIRST MOVIE EVER TO MAKE MORE THAN 900 MILLION DOLLARS IN THE USA, AND THE THIRD MOVIE EVER TO MAKE MORE THAN 2 BILLION DOLLARS!), horrible reviews(which have never affected the other 3 films, because they all did well in the box office, unlike this), and the fact it needed to make 300 million dollars to break even, which it did not achieve. I think it should be on this list.
- Tristan Michels
  Oh, come on, someone put it on there…
Mike Smith
Did you forget “Grace of Monaco”???
