thes action movies failed to get audiences blood or wallets pumping.
-
Hey, everyone, I'm Rebecca and welcome to watch Mojo.
-
Today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 action movies that bombed at the box office.
-
So there's nothing that I could do.
-
Is that what you're saying?
-
Can have faith?
-
That means we're looking at action oriented.
-
Films that were massive financial duds were ranking them based on how much money they lost, as well as how much hype they had prior to release.
-
All right, let's check it out.
-
I hear that you are incredibly dangerous.
-
Number 10 Gemini Man.
-
Even though it managed to make it out of development, hell, this film seemed to be doomed.
-
Gemini Man tells the story of Henry Broken, Ah, former Marine turned assassin who's on the run from a clone of himself.
-
Despite the impressive use of de aging technology and solid performances, the sci fi thriller was labeled as a generic action movie with a subpar script at the box office.
-
Gemini Man immediately tanked, bringing in on Lee 173 of the expected $275 million resulting in losses upwards of 75 million for the studios involved.
-
It will live on, though, as one of Will Smith's biggest bombs ever.
-
Number nine.
-
Speed Racer.
-
Based on the classic anime from the 19 sixties, Speed Racer is a bright, colorful racing film about the titular protagonist and his struggles against his fellow racers and corporate greed.
-
Herbert didn't scare you speed with how hard we push our team.
-
I just wanted you to see how committed we are.
-
The winning The movie was not well received at the time of its release, but has since developed a cult following.
-
Nevertheless, Speed Racer Onley grossed a little over $90 million on a budget of 120 million, making it a bomb upon release.
-
Oh my God, did you see that?
-
A real single set jump into a Flying King.
-
I know he blew up at Fuji, but this kid is flat out magic, given that it was up against Iron Man, the film that kick started the enormously successful M C.
-
U.
-
It's a wonder it even made as much as it did.
-
You think you could drive a car and change the world?
-
It doesn't work like that?
-
Maybe not, but it's the only thing I know how to do, and I got to do something.
-
Number eight.
-
John Carter Captain John Carter, Virginia.
-
A Disney sci fi action film adapted from a series of pulp adventure novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
-
John Carter is about the eponymous Civil War veteran who finds himself on Mars and becomes embroiled in a conflict there between Martian factions.
-
So Deng is winning the war.
-
I say.
-
Let Redman kill Redman until only thoughts remain.
-
The movie had a troubled production, and its budget reportedly ballooned during that time, which, along with advertising expenses, put the price tag in around $350 million.
-
This well, not do at all.
-
Even John Carter's final gross of $284 million wasn't enough to recoup Disney's heavy investment, making it a very expensive bomb.
-
Indeed, fitting solution for your setback.
-
What did you say?
-
Cut number seven Catwoman Sharing its name if nothing else, with the comic character of the same name.
-
Catwoman follows a woman who gains catlike powers after being drowned by a villainous cosmetics company.
-
You hear that?
-
It's called silence.
-
That's all I ever wanted.
-
Now keep it down.
-
Lambasted by critics for failing on nearly every production level, it's gratuitous sexualization and its lack of ties to its supposed source material.
-
Catwoman also failed to connect with audiences.
-
Managing to Onley grows 82 million on a budget of $100 million.
-
The other night you killed somebody.
-
She was a nice girl.
-
Why Cat Got your tongue?
-
Cats may have nine lives, but Catwoman had trouble scraping together.
-
Even one women didn't keep out.
-
Number six Alexander Ah, historical epic about the life of Alexander the Great, the famed Macedonian general and ruler, Alexander failed to live up to the greatness of its namesake.
-
Critics largely panned the film, citing its poor pacing, historical inaccuracies and lack of involving characters as some of its major faults.
-
What disturbs me most is not your lack of respect for my judgment.
-
It's your contempt for a world far older than ours.
-
Meanwhile, audiences were probably turned off by it's laborious runtime and the sparse action.
-
Although it grossed 167 million on a $155 million budget, advertising and other costs still put the film behind around twice that much.
-
Number five.
-
The rhythm section releasing a movie around the Super Bowl can be risky in the rhythm section proved to be no exception.
-
It wasn't an accident.
-
There was a bomb on that plane.
-
This action drama film stars Blake Lively as a grieving mother who finds out her family was killed not in a tragic plane crash but instead a terrorist attack.
-
Why are you here for your clothes on?
-
How would you do that?
-
The set up for the movie must not have appealed to many as it received the worst wide opening of all time, making Onley $2.8 million of the expected 9 to 12 million in its first weekend.
-
With losses expected to be in the 30 to 40 million range, this action movie was just a little offbeat.
-
Not quite my Temple Number four.
-
The Lone Ranger, this Western action film, adapted from a long running radio, Siri's and other media, follows the title Texas Ranger and his Native American sidekick as they team up to fight outlaws.
-
Going somewhere?
-
Yes, No.
-
Like other entries on our list, the Lone Ranger suffered critically as well as financially as many found it overflowing with too many ideas, and the whitewashing of Toronto was a rather sore spot.
-
Indians like Coyote he Killed leave nothing to waste.
-
Tell me King Wasabi.
-
What does the white man killed for the movie had many production issues and cost at least $225 million though that figure blokes to over $375 million with advertising costs.
-
Since it on Lee managed to make $260 million the Lone Ranger managed to be a singularly disappointing bomb.
-
Worst.
-
How could this be worse?
-
Could develop a niche on your nose number.
-
3 47 Ronan.
-
Set in a fantasy world of 18th century Japan, 47 Ronin is about a group of disgraced slash outcast samurai, or Ronan who try to get revenge on the men who disgraced their former Lord.
-
They say only demons have the power to see past a witches disguise.
-
Are you a demon?
-
No.
-
While its visuals and action were praised by some, most found the characters and the story flat, and it was especially unsuccessful in connecting with Japanese viewers.
-
I take evolve before you, but I will not rest until justice is done.
-
It also failed spectacularly at the box office, making on Lee $151 million on a $225 million budget, a figure that includes marketing costs with its total losses amounting to around as much as it made when accounting for inflation.
-
If I accept my faith, no one will question the honor about people Number two Sahara Anak Shin Comedy adventure film Sahara follows adventurers searching for a ship in the Sahara Desert while also becoming caught up in a fight against a warlord spreading a deadly plague.
-
High hold on.
-
While many of the films on this list so far have been considered bad, most criticism of this adventure flick is about how generic and dull it is.
-
Their treasure hunters General Marine salvage.
-
They call themselves hardly your military elite.
-
Don't underestimate them.
-
One of the most expensive flops of all time, Sahara made $119 million at the box office, but it's total cost was a whopping $160 million.
-
It seems like the executives in charge invested a bit too much in their own search for treasure.
-
You should put the money to better use.
-
Mhm like containing this plague.
-
Is it telling that I have seen exactly zero of the movies on this list, including the honorable mentions?
-
Yes.
-
Yes, it is.
-
All right.
-
Well, you would think that based on the stars, that number one could have pulled in at least some audience members.
-
But no, it failed miserably.
-
So let's look through the honorable mentions or dishonorable, I guess.
-
And then we'll see.
-
What?
-
Our biggest action movie box office bomb.
-
Waas.
-
So you really want to attack this thing?
-
Yes.
-
Yes, I dio the guy you were talking to.
-
What's your supervisor's name?
-
Me and Hitchens.
-
Maybe it's better if the two of you than you aren't around the next part.

-
You can take your chances with judgment, or you can join the LAPD.
-
Critics panned the film adapted from a comic book as being highly derivative of Ghostbusters and men in black, while also being rather predictable and nonsensical.
-
Yeah, Look, I'm sorry to disappoint, but this is crap.
-
Audiences stayed away in droves to as ripe.
-
Cost $130 to make.
