CBS News Presents the Biggest Movie Flops / 42 Biggest Box-Office Bombs - Page 2

"Pre-pandemic, there were clear box office winners and losers every weekend. And when a movie failed, it failed epically. Using stats from the box-office site The Numbers, we've compiled a list of the 42 movies that, versus their production budgets, lost the most at the box office. We came up with our Hollywood hall of shame by culling through The Numbers' rundown of the most expensive movies ever made, focusing on 508 movies with reported budgets of $90 million or more. From this group, we zeroed in on the films that failed to make back their budgets at the worldwide box office. We eliminated titles that had no reported grosses because they debuted on streaming. We also eliminated films that were released in 2020 amid the theater-shuttering coronavirus outbreak. In the end, we came up with a list, ranked from the smallish-sized bombs to the biggest. (The Numbers stats were current as of Sep 6, 2020.)" - cbsnews.com
