Which Movies of 2015 Will Bomb the Biggest?

[EVILFACE]

Wow, surprised that WB gave Wachowski bothers 170 something million to work with. All their directed films have bombed since the last Matrix flick. How does someone sign off on that and still have a job?

Spongebob movie: $55 million weekend

Jupiter Ascending : $18 million

Ouch

I get the feeling Marvel isn't particularly worried about Ant-Man when AoU is coming out a couple months prior to fill their coffers, good year to take a risk with a new franchise.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Yep. So long as Marvel doesn't lose money on Ant-Man, it won't mind too terribly if it's not a top performer. And if it surprises like GotG? All the better.

Avengers 2 will bank even more if Spder-Man shows up in it

The residual hype after AoU will probably keep Ant-man safe and warm.

Taken
Budget - $25 million
Box office - $226.8 million

Taken 2
Budget - $45 million
Box office - $376.1 million

Taken 3
Budget - $48 million
Box office - $325.6 million

The Taken franchise is still tremendously profitable, so the drop in box office is more than acceptable. Taken 4 anybody?

Fifty Shades of Grey
Budget - $40 million
Box office - $566.2 million

Jesus H. Christ.

Furious 7
Budget - $190 million
Box office - $507.9 million (and counting)

It grossed $392 million in its first three days of release, the third highest opening of all time, according to Wikipedia.

Glancing there hasn't been a whole lot of major flops, just some that have broke even there abouts.

The Gunman and Mortdecai being ones that came no where close to their budgets.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I still say Fantastic Four

Some of those on the list made a LOT of money and still are

 

[creature4000]

I agree... plus at least Terminator will look cool in places even though it will be horrible.

 

[Jameson Rook]

So erm, two people accidentally clicked on the Avengers?

 

[RIDDICK]

*not it wasn't*

I think expectations for Fantastic Four will be modest. Or at least, they should be. There's no reason to expect a runaway smash hit. With Terminator though, I can see expectations being through the roof. It looks like it will be an average movie at best, but. . .as this post demonstrates, quality of the film doesn't always have much to do with a film's profits:

Taken
Budget - $25 million
Box office - $226.8 million

Taken 2
Budget - $45 million
Box office - $376.1 million

Taken 3
Budget - $48 million
Box office - $325.6 million

The Taken franchise is still tremendously profitable, so the drop in box office is more than acceptable. Taken 4 anybody?

Fifty Shades of Grey
Budget - $40 million
Box office - $566.2 million

Jesus H. Christ.

Furious 7

Box office - $507.9 million (and counting)

It grossed $392 million in its first three days of release, the third highest opening of all time, according to Wikipedia.

Possible Ant-Man will be one of the biggest "flops" when all is said and done, because of the expectations that may be attached simply due to the production studio.

[Payton collectibles]

Ant-Man imo will not do as well. The figure will look cool tho [emoji106]

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Ant Man is going to be a huge hit...not GOTG huge, but it will make more than Capt 1 and Thor 1.

 

[guyver1]

Yeah I agree with this Poll. FF will bomb and nobody will probably see Terminator

I can't believe Ted 2 is this discussion

Avengers will be the top draw until SW and then the two will be battling for top spot all summer long
