Hey, friends, Welcome to this video. Thanks for watching. Let's dive right into 10 films that were enormous box office flops. Number 10 Pluto Nash in the 19 eighties. Making a successful film was pretty simple. You just had to put Eddie Murphy in it. He was pretty successful in the nineties to with films like The Nutty Professor and Doctor Dolittle. Unfortunately, the 2002 Adventures of Pluto Nash didn't do anything to increase that reputation. Billed as a sci fi comedy, it had very little of either and somehow cost $100 million to make. The reviewers hated it. The audiences hated it, and the financial backers came to hate it, too. It made just $7 million and swallowed up $93 million. Wow! Number nine Stealth Stealth. No, Me neither. Made in 2005, it was supposed to be the top gun set in the future with future stars Jamie Foxx and Jessica Biel. So it didn't really run into any production issues whatsoever. It was just awful. With a budget of $135 million it managed to make a loss of 96 million stealth was certainly absolutely named seeing as no one saw it. Number 8 47 Ronan, a Keanu Reeves film made in 2014 $175 million was handed to a director making his big film, W. It was a very confused tale involving samurai magic, a witch and lots and lots of C G I monsters. The costs kept ramping up, and the director was removed at the editing stage. It was way too late to save the film, which garnered an embarrassing 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an even more uncomfortable $98 million loss at the box office, as yet a sequel has not been announced. Number seven. The Lone Ranger On paper, it should have been a rip roaring success. Johnny Depp teeming with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, these two were the Dream team behind the very successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. It appeared that people weren't very happy before production even began. The Caucasian Johnny Depp, playing a native American, didn't seem to sit right. The film ran into production troubles and was nearly shut down. It was also long, 2.5 hours long to be precise, and no one was a fan of the script or the plot or the characters or the scenery. It's had a budget of $225 million and lost $98 million. Hi, ho! Silver Away was the Lone Ranger's famous catchphrase, and it's safe to say Away is certainly where the audiences went. Number six Titan E. This one was so bad that it's managed to kill off Fox Animation Studios. It had a very famous cast. Matt Damon, Bill Pullman and writers of the Calibre of Joe Sweden. It released in 2000 and bombed. Critics didn't like Take it, and it didn't even topped the box office on opening. Sliding in at number five, it costs $75 million to make and took home nine million. Fox Animation closed 10 days after its release, underlining how bad it was. Number five Mars needs moms, Martians, kidnapper, kids, Mom and the kid launches a rescue attempt with the powerhouse of Disney behind it. It should have been a huge success. The main criticism seemed to be the poor animation and a poor story, and it didn't grab anyone's attention or interest It cost a huge $150 million to make, and it lost $100 million probably enough to launch an actual mission to Mars number four Monster Trucks. It's not even worth spending much time explaining this one. It was simply awful meant for Children, and they all hated it. If the kids hate it, then that's saying something. It was a film where bad guys chased a kid in a monster truck for two hours and we watched all the damage it caused. Except we didn't because it was terrible. It made $10 million against a cost of 125 million. No one had a really great time with this one. Sorry, Number three. John Carter. There are only a few films that Disney have spent more money on, Avengers and Pirates of the Caribbean. Amongst them. It could have been good. It should have been good. Uh, it wasn't good. The premise didn't make sense to audiences. A Civil War soldier gone to Mars. No one knew who John Carter was either, because the marketing campaign hadn't told anyone, and Disney had dropped off Mars from the title. It tried way too hard to set itself up as a franchise of films without making anyone interested in the first one. All in all, a total failure and has pretty much ended the career of Taylor kitsch. The lead? No, me neither. It's lost around $120 million and destroyed careers between this and Mars needs moms. Disney should just stay away from Mars. Number two. Sinbad. Legend of the Seven Seas. It was stacked with a listers Brad Pitt and Michelle Pfeiffer. The 2003 DreamWorks animated film didn't actually go down too badly with audiences. The main problem was that audiences in 2003 had just watched Finding Nemo, and they weren't wanting old fashioned CART tunes like Sinbad. Styles had changed and DreamWorks hadn't noticed. Soon after, DreamWorks had swapped to a computer generated animation and Shrek was on its way, but it couldn't save Sinbad. It lost $125 million and sank without trace. Number one. King Arthur. Legend of the Sword Warner Brothers wanted to start a new franchise. They chose King Arthur and through $150 million at Guy Ritchie and the director to make their dreams come true. It soon became a nightmare because no one cared. It wasn't true to the original story and added in superpowers for the characters confused people. As one critic put it, paraphrasing Monty Python, I would rather cut down a tree with a herring than watch this again. Ouch! It's lost a staggering $150 million and even a cameo from David Beckham couldn't bend those figures. And that's the end of this list. Did you enjoy any of these films?
