Movies With Terrible Titles That Doomed Them From the Start (Looper)
"Any marketing guru will tell you the power that lies in a name. Nowhere is this more noticeable than in the movie business, where so much of a film's success is dependent on its brief theatrical run. If a movie has an off-putting, confusing, or unwieldy title, it can disorient audiences, turn away potential customers, and kill its chances at the box office, making a possible blockbuster into a bomb. It's no coincidence after all that the titles of some of the biggest, most beloved, and successful films are simple, straightforward, and attention-grabbing. A movie title doesn't just have the power to confuse or alienate viewers in cinemas. It can even alter the expectations and perception of critics, leading to worse reviews than they might have gotten otherwise. So if you've ever looked at a movie title and cringed, this list is for you: movies with titles so terrible it doomed them from the start." - looper.com
