Biggest movie flop of all time...
 

The new garfield movie...

gigli

Battlefield Earth - John Revolting

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0185183/

I haven't seen any of the above mentioned movies... and I never will. I just knew they'd suck.

I think this garfield movie is going to set a new standard in teh suck...

Pluto Nash

Super Mario Brothers.

Yeah thats just WAITING to suck. Fuck Garfield.

i vote for that thing :) ALL TIME and 1.000.000 years + :thumbsup

There are just too many to name....aren't we better off just forgeting them?

Ishtar

Water World

was gunna post this as well.

Crossroads

not really that large of a bomb

Anything that had Madonna in it.

Cutthroat Island
Pluto Nash
Battlefield Earth

I think those are considered the biggest bombs of all time...

oh man and i was looking forward to seeing that, i used to be a huge garfield cartoon fan when i was a kid

It bombed in the US, relative to cost... must have been huge in the third world countries.

I thought Ishtar was based on the big budget

Pluto Nash
budget - $100 million
advertising - $20 million
total box office - $4.4 million
OUCH!

:thumbsup

i never seen blair witch project. i remember the line ups to see it and i said fuck it.

never realized the budget was so tiny. that was pretty good ROI

hell yeah

Waterworld :helpme

that Arnie film 'Last action hero'

I actually liked that movie, but yeah, lost a chunk at the box office

another thing that looks bad. look at the most profitable moves and the least. new movies aren't very profitable while they litter the least profitable.

i think they need to adjust their marketing, cost structure, etc. plus they're just so many shitty movies out there today.

That movie looks hideous! It's just as bad as the computerized scooby doo, or maybe worse.

me too I love Garfield! I'm definitely seeing this movie.

I don't feel the same. That scooby movie sucked in my opinion and I don't feel the same about this Garfield movie. The previews looked promising.

I was watching Dinner For Five on IFC the other night...don't know if you're familiar with it but it's Jon Favreaus show where actors/directors etc sit around and talk over dinner.

Anyway Barry Pepper was on there discussing Battlefield Earth and how the show was only budgeted at $50mil but Travolta received like $20mil and they wanted the movie to look as though they had spent over $100mil...LOL

gigli
ishtar
28 days later

Ahh beat me 2 it. Ishtar definately.

I second that, at least from a money standpoint.

gigli or waterworld.
i actually liked mario bros. and i'll watch garfield.

actually,with worldwide take and ancillaries, it made a profit...just didn't live up to expectations in the States.

I caught another documentary the other day about Carolco and Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna who back in the day were some of the biggest money spenders in Hollywood...created the whole summer blockbuster frenzy.

Anyway they spent $150 million on Cutthroat Island and it only made like $10 million at the box office.

The next project for Carolco was Independence Day and then Titanic...but because of some bad decisions they went out of biz....LOL

the worst movie ever would be CULT OF FURY. some of the scenes from that movie were actual news broadcasts

These guys at Carolco were freaks...lol

They were the ones that dropped $3mil on Joe Esterhaz Basic Instinct script which was unheard of at the time.

Andif you ever read Hollywood by Bukowski these are the 2 producers he speaks of in there..one of the funniest parts in the book.

I love true hollywood stories.
