Forbes named the worst films of the year
December will give viewers many more high-profile premieres, but analysts of Forbes have already begun to sum up the financial results of 2016. The official website of the famous magazine published a rating of the most unsuccessful film projects this year from a grossing point of view. Only those films that were broadcasted on at least two thousand screens were taken into account.The main box office failure of the outgoing year was recognized as the film " Max Steel ". Despite the immense popularity of the superhero genre, the sci-fi action movie based on the toy franchise from Mattel has failed to generate much public interest. The absence of bright Hollywood stars in its cast, as well as the cold reception of critics played against the picture. Suffice it to say that on the review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , the feed holds a humiliating 0% rating. About $ 10 million was spent on the shooting of " Max Steele ", and its result at the box office was only $ 4.4 million USA moviegoers contributed $ 400,000 to the film's worldwide gross, but this still did not save him from failure.  On the second line of the rating of financial losers is the " Free State of Jones ". The historical drama cost $ 50 million to create, and the gross has stopped at $ 23.2 million . In this case, the filmmakers have to blame only themselves because they decided to release it at the same time as the animated hit Finding Dory and the blockbuster Independence Day: Rebirth. Despite the failure at the box office, the drama received quite passable ratings from the world's leading film critics.  The third step of the podium was taken by the tape " Pop Star: Don't Stop, Don't Stop ", which earned $ 9.5 million worldwide. The comedy with a budget of 20 million was bathed in positive reviews, but outright lost the fight in the box office to the melodrama "Me Before You" and the sequel "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."  According to Forbes , the ten loudest financial failures of the outgoing year also include: " Pride and Prejudice and Zombies " (Gross: $ 16.4 million . Production budget - $ 28 million )  " Ratchet & Clank: Galactic Rangers " (Gross: $ 11.8 million . Production budget - $ 20 million )  " Spies Next Door " (Gross $ 26.8 million . Production budget - $ 40 million )  " Reporter " (Fees - $ 25 million . Production budget - $ 35 million )  " Brothers from Grimsby " (Gross - $ 28.7 million . Production budget - $ 35 million )  " Snowden " (Gross - $ 34.3 million . Production budget - $ 40 million )  " Instigators " (Fees - $ 22 million . Production budget - $ 25 million )  It should be noted that the experts of Forbes make their rating of failed film projects solely based on the ratio of the amount of the film's box office to its production budget. It is for this reason that they consider the failure of Max Steele to be a bigger financial failure than, for example, Ben-Hur. The first managed to earn only 44 percent of its budget, while the second - 94. At the same time, Forbes does not take into account that the studio's losses from the failure of a sci-fi movie amounted to about $ 8 million . while in the case of the $ 100 million epic of Timur Bekmambetov, we are already talking about tens of millions of dollars.  LostFilm.INFO will summarize 2016 financial results in a series of its traditional New Year materials. The Topic of Article: Forbes named the worst films of the year. |
