Amsterdam
Amsterdamhas just run into dramaturgy , but the screens are filled with nothing but tumbleweed , asthe movie has whole bombed at the box office . The film is have a bun in the oven to ensue in a $ 97 million passing for Regency , which is shocking considering the vast amount of star power behind the moving-picture show .
But bankable stars do n’t always guarantee box office success , andAmsterdamisn’t the only pic with an impressive ensemble cast to fall through miserably . Between an larger-than-life mobster movie that palpate like anSNLsketch , an anthology clowning full of Academy Award - winners , and an all - star animated movie that would have been more successful with professional voice histrion , these movie leave theaters in the red .
Movie 43 (2013)
picture 43is an anthology movie made up of several different light stories , and each one of them has a different movie superstar in the lead role . The movie was hated by anyone who saw it , and it only made $ 32 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . It ’s a curiosity why so many bankable and sizable actors signed up for a film where the jokes must n’t have even read well in the screenplay .
But grant toThe Telegraph , actors sign on after being guilt - tripped and did everything they could to get out of it , but it did n’t mold . While it is n’t a entire bomb , as it only had a production budget of $ 6 million , it ’s a Brobdingnagian underperformance and was expect to do much better with Hugh Jackman , Chris Pratt , Halle Berry , Emma Stone , and so many others on the placard .
Cats (2019)
Catsis know better for all the memes surround its release than for the film itself . the great unwashed who joked about the motion-picture show have in all probability never watch it , as the film made a fateful $ 75 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . It had a $ 95 million budget and was being commercialize as the big and most prominent holiday movie of the decade .
However , even though the movie is full of A - listing actors all the way down to the tertiary characters , it was n’t enough to distract from theterrifying - reckon type designs in the musical . And asCatsandAmsterdamare the two major movies Taylor Swift has starred in , she has had far from a promising starting signal to her acting vocation .
Gangster Squad (2013)
There was so much hype surroundingGangster Squadleading up to its release , as it was promising to be the next gangster epic . However , the result was a caricature ofThe Untouchables , with Sean Penn apparently doing an picture of Nicolas Cage inVampire ’s Kiss .
The screenplay attract a mint of big names , as Ryan Gosling , Emma Stone , Josh Brolin , and Anthony Mackie joined Penn . There is n’t an unrecognizable actor in the entire pic , but the sensation power did nothing to help the pic ’s corner function gross . The motion picture made $ 105 million ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , which is $ 45 million more than its budget , but that still would n’t overcompensate marketing and movie theater costs .
Steve Jobs (2015)
Steve Jobsdoesn’t have a lot of speaking part , and there are very few characters in the 2015 biopic , but every speaking part is played by such a gamey - caliber actor . Michael Fassbender , Seth Rogen , Kate Winslet , and Jeff Daniels led the film , and there ’s a pot of tycoon behind the camera , too .
Aaron Sorkin , one of the few screenwriter that ’s give as much credit as film director , penned the hand , and Danny Boyle was in the director ’s death chair . But that hugely telling cast and gang could n’t muster up more than a shockingly downcast $ 34 million at the box office ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . Surprisingly , the Ashton Kutcher - starringJobs , another Steve Jobs biopic from 2013 , made more than the 2015 film , and that distinctly had a much lower marketing budget .
Amsterdam (2022)
While there has beena huge resurgence in whodunnit moviesfollowing the succeeder of 2019’sKnives Out , not all of them are going to be as successful . The murder mystery story movieAmsterdamis the latest film to completely bomb at the box office , and it ’s one of the big examples of a flick flop ever .
With an high-flown budget of $ 80 million due to COVID-19 time lag and drastically change shot locations ( viaDeadline ) , the movie has n’t even made an eighth of its production back . It does n’t seem like it ’ll be help by word of rima oris either , as the movie has been flap down by critics and consultation , and it sits at a scummy 33 % onRotten Tomatoes . The motion-picture show is stacked with award winner , dad star , darling comedian , and bankable film stars , but they could n’t salve a messy screenplay .
The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001)
When it comes to the historied directing duo the Coen Brothers , studios often work with them for the prestige and the long-lasting achiever that their motion-picture show will have , given that many of their picture are timeless classics . Their films are rarely tremendous box office striking , but the 2001 movieThe Man Who Was n’t Therewas an outright bankruptcy on every account .
The neo - noir was shot in black and lily-white and is more aesthetically pleasing than anything , but the lack of a story and some surreal moment that audiences could n’t get on plank with meant that it could n’t make back its $ 20 million budget ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . And that ’s despite a low - key mellow - profile casting that included Frances McDormand , Billy Bob Thornton , Scarlett Johannson , and James Gandolfini at the height of hisSopranosfame .
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
While the A - listing actors might not be seeable in theoften - forget animated movieFantastic Mr. Fox , their distinctive vocalism can definitely be learn . The 2009 film has a laundry list of award - winning actors , but it could n’t make more than $ 46 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , which is made even worse , break that it had a $ 40 million budget .
While adult can revel the moving-picture show too , it just goes to show that George Clooney , Meryl Streep , and many others sound the characters does n’t mean a single thing to five - year - old . The movie could have had a lower budget and possibly have been way more successful if professional vocalization actors played the character reference , as the voice would certainly have been more exciting and reanimate .
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (2010)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the Worldis one of the most entertaining non - MCU funny book films , and it has become a cult classic since its release . However , it was a immense box power bomb in 2010 , and its huge ensemble casting , including Michael Cera , Chris Evans , Brie Larson , and tens of others , could n’t keep that from happening .
The $ 60 million picture did n’t even progress to $ 50 million despite its cast ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . It ’s heavy to pin down why exactlyScott Pilgrim vs. the Worldbombed , as it ’s highly critically applaud , was release at a clip when raunchy and irreverent comic playscript movies were popular , and has the kinetic Edgar Wright filmmaking that audiences love .
Batman & Robin (1997)
Batman & Robinmade $ 238 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) , which sounds like a huge success , but it was a miserable failure when the plastic film be $ 125 million . Warner Bros. was probably trust for $ 500 million at an out-and-out minimum , but the movie turned the character into goofy caricatures and did n’t take the source material earnestly .
While some thinkBatman & Robinis underestimate , people no longer cared , and that ’s if people had n’t already lost interest afterBatman evermore . The 1997 release had the most bankable project for aBatmanmovie yet , as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman play the villain , and Schwarzenegger was even billed in high spirits than Clooney .
The French Dispatch (2021)
tremendous Mr. Foxisn’t the only Wes Anderson - directed picture show that flush it miserably at the box office , asThe French Dispatchsomehow made the exact same amount as the animated flick at the box office , gross just $ 46 million worldwide ( viaBox Office Mojo ) . Though it was made with a budget of $ 25 million ( viaVariety ) , its box office receipts would n’t have enshroud the costs to market the photographic film as well as the motion-picture show theaters ' cutting off .
The picture might be creatively shot , and it might be full of inventive sets , but an anthology movie about different French journalists who all have the same deadpan delivery did n’t quite becharm audiences ' imaginations like Anderson ’s previous picture .
