JackFetch Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Since Yoda put up that thread asking if Beowulf would flop, I thought we could celebrate the greatest flops of the year. THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD budget $30,000,000 worldwide earnings $8,214,595 GRINDHOUSE budget $67,000,000 worldwide earnings $25,037,897 INTO THE WILD budget $20,000,000 worldwide earnings $13,236,837 REDLINE budget $26,000,000 + one Porsche + one Enzo earnings $6,881,022 PATHFINDER: THE LEGEND OF THE GHOST WARRIOR budget $45,000,000 worldwide earnings $30,429,194 BLACK SNAKE MOAN budget $15,000,000 worldwide earnings $10,883,998 HOT ROD budget $25-30 million worldwide earnings $14,277,033 There are some that I can't find the budgets for, but we know they flopped.

Missy Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 GRINDHOUSE budget $67,000,000 worldwide earnings $25,037,897 OUCH! I knew it did bad, but I didn't know it did that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 How did I miss this one: I KNOW WHO KILLED ME budget $12,000,000 earnings $7,233,485 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I haven't seen it, but a lot of the critics have given some high praise to ......Jesse James........ so while it is a flop, apparently it is a good movie. Imagine how much it would have costs if Brad asked for his standard fee This list doesn't really matter though, I mean how many of these movies have you actually heard of?

Aaron Robinson Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 I’ve heard of the majority of them. It's sad some of these failed, but I’m betting at least a couple of these movies will make back their losses on DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holacik Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well considering that some of these budgets were low I think that DVD sales will cover most up. What was that crazy movie that had Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Deniro about a fallen star that human? That flopped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drqshadow Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 That's a shame about Grindhouse, because both movies were a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only flopped in the US. They loved it overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudicaSkills Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 VERY disappointing to see that Grindhouse didn't do well. i absolutely LOVED it, and can't wait to see the sequel! apparently the fake trailers included in the film were so well-received that one or more may be turned into feature-length films!

StudicaSkills Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 it's been quoted of Marley Shelton that there may be one that's kung-fu oriented and one is sexploitation. the die-hard fans of tarantino and rodriguez and the splat genre in general are going to eat these up!

StudicaSkills Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 the euro must be well above double by now, given that our dollar has dropped so horribly in the last year. awful. the film industry is completely different overseas. movies used to take for-bloody-ever to get there (sometimes when they've already made it to dvd here), and the prices have always been atrocious. so the fact that the cost of a movie ticket and a dvd over there are COMPLETELY inflated (not to mention the value of the pound/euro) means that the numbers are messed up. when comparing what a movie makes in the US or north america versus the UK, it's like apples and oranges. i thought Stardust looked ridiculous, for the record.

StudicaSkills Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 nah. quite the opposite, in fact. the rolleyes just meant that i thought Stardust looked THAT ridiculous. i am guilty of the overuse of the emoticon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 My next audio seg has a review of Stardust, precisely because it only came out over here a month ago! It's a very nice fantasy film though. I was flipping channels the other day and caught the last 30 minutes of 'Legend' with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry and it was the weirdest bullshit I've ever seen. On topic: I guess that's why we didn't get Grindhouse features back-to-back in the UK. Come to think of it, I don't remember either coming out over here. Clearly the marketing is partially to blame.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
