Investment: 1. 1 billion USD+more than 25 million publicity expenses.
Box office: local/kloc-0.07 million is not bad, not broken.
Loss index: ★★★★ Reason for listing: Even Batman himself can't save the box office crisis.
As always, Batman Robin and the new Bat Girl performed a routine story to destroy the arrogance of the bad guys together. As a foil, the villain King Ji Dun and the totem girl really became a decoration in this farce and put on funny clothes. Let's throw the bad script into the trash can first. The propaganda of the film is too focused on Schwarzenegger's appearance, but it is actually just a thankless villain in the play. The heavy bat suit and mask make the charming charm of handsome Qiao Zhike Rooney unable to show. As a follower, Robin nagged. The media commented that the film lacked originality and was full of shoddy plots. The overuse of heavy metal objects and stunts makes the whole movie look gloomy and heavy, and the surprise is not enough to suppress it. It's the worst movie in Batman!
Eighth place: lethal weapon 4
Investment: USD 654.38+400 million.
Box office: the local 65438+300 million is not bad, not broken.
Loss index: ★★★★☆ Reason for listing: There is no savior in the box office casino!
654.38 dollars+400 million investment, 654.38 dollars+300 million box office, it doesn't sound too bad. But the two leading actors, the director and the producer, signed the contract in advance and divided up 40% of the box office. In the end, Warner only took a pitiful $80 million.
The first three episodes of Lethal Weapon are all recognized classics, but the popularity of this series is mainly due to the appearance of Meggie Parsons. It can be said that Meggie Parsons is the lifeblood of this film, but the crew is the father of the emperor, so it is inevitable to take a lot of money. Another important role in this film is Jet Li, who has set foot in Hollywood for the first time. Jet Li, who has always shown a positive image, plays the villain for the first time in order to open the Hollywood market. The producer obviously wants to add some new elements to continue to shine, and it can be seen that the producer is also well-intentioned about this film. However, this gamble made a mistake, and some unnecessary and expensive special effects were stuffed into the film under the influence of Meggie Posen. The star dominated the film. However, Maerki Posen, who has always had box office appeal, also failed ~!
Seventh place: Strange Man in the Wind Loss Index: ★★★☆.
Investment:10.70 billion dollars box office:1.10.30 billion dollars overseas box office is even more reluctant to watch.
Reason for listing: big production is just a trap for spending money, not a guarantee for box office!
Strange Man in the Wind is a film adapted from a TV series in the 1960s, which focuses on amazing special effects. Will smith, the golden boy, can't find his high spirits in Men in Black, while kenneth branagh's performance is pretentious. The two leading actors obviously lack tacit understanding and are far apart. He is overconfident about the expensive metal utensils in the film. But the screen effect is not good, it looks fake. The failure of a blockbuster, actors and special effects is almost doomed to box office failure. To make matters worse, the script of Strange Man in the Wind itself sucks. The messy plot, the combination of paragraphs and special effects that make people feel too strange, is really not enough to attract modern audiences. The man on the wind1.700 million investment is definitely a masterpiece among the top 10 movies in the history of movies. However, the film's reputation is not loud, and even fewer people in China know it. From this perspective, it also shows its failure. At least in Shui Piao, other loss-making enterprises have made a lot of money.
Sixth place: Whisperwind Loss Index: ★★★★★
Investment: 654.38+200 million box office: 33 million in three weeks.

Reason for listing: This film is John Woo's Iron Furnace Battle in Hollywood!
Ever since John Woo broke into Hollywood with a broken arrow at 1996, it has been a sensation. In 2000, Mission Impossible II grossed 708 10000 dollars, which officially established John Woo's position as a Hollywood first-line director. However, Whisperwind made the smooth-sailing director John Woo bear the label of box office poison. Despite the support of Nicolas Cage and other big names, the reputation is still not ideal. More than 33 million dollars may not be a failure for the average Hollywood movie, but if you look at the box office of the small-scale movie released at that time, it will be better than this movie, and you will know how failed this movie is! Previously, John Woo's success was because the United States saw a wonderful story different from the traditional Hollywood gangster film. China's ethical films had such different tense scenes, but after that, John Woo went further and further on this road. Now he has to consider how to make a pure Hollywood visual feast like True Lies. The failure of this film caused MGM's stock to plummet, which led to Robert Levin, president of the company's world market distribution.
Fifth place: speed of life and death 2 loss index: ★★★★☆.
Investment: 1. 1 100 million box office: North America recovered 48 million.
Reason for listing: Maybe the sequel directed by Jane Debon will update the top ten movies at a loss.
Speed is one of the Hollywood blockbusters that entered the China market earlier. The suffocating fast pace left a deep impression on the audience in China, and keanu reeves, a newcomer at that time, became popular. However, three years later, the sequel to Speed of Life did not continue the wonderful of the first one, but was a complete failure. First of all, the sequel didn't call keanu reeves, but used the popular heroine of the last episode. Another love story, similar to the last episode but another hero, was arranged, and the audience naturally felt uncomfortable. And the two plots are very similar, even the details are modeled after the first episode. Many people think this is a sequel to the sea version. Aside from the plot, the biggest failure of this film is that it has reached a misunderstanding of a big scene, and the investment in the sequel is almost four times that of "Speed of Life and Death 1". The scene is indeed much bigger than the speed of life and death 1, but a bigger scene does not mean more exciting. For example, in the first episode, I was held on the bus for half an hour, but this is the best part. The success of "Speed of Life and Death 1" actually lies in mobilizing the audience's emotions with details and environment, and making the film climax continuously. Although the speed of life and death is 65438, these explosions are more attractive because they participate in the plot. There are not many big scenes in the first episode, but they just play an embellishment role. The empty pursuit of the big scene in "Speed 2" can be described as buying gifts and returning pearls. Finally, Super 2 invested 65438+ 1 100 million, and the box office in North America was 48 million, 1. The global box office of 340 million yuan has formed a sharp contrast. But without Laura's sister's fans around the world, director Jan de Bont's sequel to Tomb Raider 2 might have capsized. Some media exclaimed that Jiande should stop making sequels!
Fourth place: Pearl Harbor Loss Index: ★★★★★
Investment: 240 million box office: 65.438+600 million
Reason for listing: The movie Pearl Harbor is a Disney tragedy.
When Pearl Harbor first entered the market, it was ambitious, and its slogan was box office miracle beyond Titanic. The direct investment of the film is over $654.38 +0.4 billion, and the later marketing and publicity expenses are said to be over $654.38 +0 billion. The production cost can indeed be compared with Titanic, and the special effects can also be compared with Titanic. In the plot, director michael bay seems to want to learn Titanic, and let love replace disaster as the theme of the film. As a result, painting a tiger does not make a dog, which makes the film neither fish nor fowl. This high-level film was criticized as bad. In the same three-hour studio, Titanic was fascinating, and Pearl Harbor was boring and unpredictable. Except for the big explosion scene, no place can catch the audience's eye. In the end, the movie box office is always close.

Third place: final fantasy loss index: ★★★★★☆.
Investment: 65438+37 million box office: 32 1 ten thousand.
Reason for listing: Final Fantasy paid more than $654.38 billion in tuition just because of its different tastes.
In recent years, Hollywood likes to put classic video games on the big screen, and Final Fantasy is the initiator. However, the film's pioneering work of adapting the game was a fiasco at the box office. "Final Fantasy" is said to be the first movie with full computer animation stunts. It took four years to be technically perfect and strive for perfection. Although it is six years later, it is still amazing today with the rapid development of computer stunt technology! Virtual actors are almost the same as real people in lines, hairstyles, expressions, skin and texture. However, excellent stunts can't guarantee a big box office harvest. The investment of $654.38+37 billion and the box office of $326.5438+million forced the Japanese software giant squall line company, the planner of the film, to sell its branch in the United States. Film critics generally believe that the failure of movies is not the failure of simulating real people, but the failure of scripts. The combination of Japanese animation stories and American film technology eventually led to no one like to watch it!
Second place: future water world loss index: ★★★★★☆.
Investment: The initial budget is 654.38 billion +0 billion, and the actual investment is 200 million. China's box office is 88 million.
Reason for being on the list: kevin costner, the Oscar-winning actress, has since become a box office poison.
In 2500 AD, due to the melting of ice at the poles of the earth, the whole earth was covered by Wang Yang. So kevin costner kevin costner, a sailor dressed in retro style, and the representative of evil forces, the "scourge", launched a wet battle. The story sounds boring, but in fact it is the way it is. The media's evaluation of this film is that it is inevitable that there will be some problems occasionally in filming. No big deal. But in the future water world, everything will go wrong. In fact, despite the vitriol of the media, objectively speaking, Future Water World is absolutely well-made. But it's wrong that it doesn't know how to please the audience. The hype in the early stage of the film didn't play a good role. The persistent conflict between kevin costner and director kevin reynolds kevin reynolds and kevin reynolds's sudden withdrawal in the final production stage have all had a negative impact on the film. The scene, environment and clothes in the film are very dirty, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. Finally, the ending of the hero's departure is quite sad. No wonder the audience didn't agree!
First place: Cleopatra's loss index: ★★★★★
Investment: 45 million box office: 26 million, and 50 million has been recovered so far.
Reason for listing: Unfortunately, Cleopatra's charm has not been passed on to the film, and the box office has lost money so far.
Trust your eyes ~! That's right, it's Cleopatra, which ranks first in the charts. It's not surprising that the investment of 45 million yuan and the income of 26 million yuan. However, if you think so, it's all wet. What is the most expensive movie in history? If your answer is Titanic, which invested 260 million yuan, it is wrong. Cleopatra was filmed at 1963, and the monetary value is converted according to today's inflation. At that time, $45 million was equivalent to more than $400 million now. Although more than 40 years have passed, Cleopatra is still a well-made and magnificent work. Even some sharp film critics. But it really didn't make the audience buy it, which once made Fox on the verge of bankruptcy in the 2 1 century. Although the movie lost all its money at the box office, it made a generation of "Jade Girl"-Elizabeth Taylor's legendary life. From then on, Elizabeth Taylor became famous, and the fake play with the leading actor in the film became a part of Taylor's many marriages. Today, Taylor's charm remains undiminished, and the film Cleopatra occasionally returns.
