The 7 biggest box-office bombs of 2018, so far
7. “A Wrinkle in Time” — $100 million
Reported Budget: $103 million
(Note: Production budgets are estimates and do not include expenses for marketing and release.)
If you factor in the movie's foreign gross, the movie has made back what Disney put in production budget-wise, but the studio doesn't want to just break even on its movies.
6. “The Predator” — $40.4 million*
Reported Budget: $95 million
*Movie is still playing in theaters.
Though it's only been out for a few weeks, its lousy reviews seem to be keeping the fans of the franchise far away.
5. “Death Wish” — $34 million
Reported Budget: $30 million
Bruce Willis finds here that if he's not named John McClane and holding a gun in a movie audiences really just don't care.
4. “Annihilation” — $32.7 million
Reported Budget: $40 million
Despite being a critical darling, the latest sci-fi movie from the director of "Ex Machina" didn't grab the attention of general audiences.
3. “The Happytime Murders” — $20.7 million*
Reported Budget: $40 million
Not even Melissa McCarthy involved in the project could motivate anyone to go see this movie.
2. “The Hurricane Heist” — $6.1 million
Reported Budget: $35 million
Looks like combining a bank heist and hurricane isn't a moneymaker.
1. “Action Point” — $5 million
Reported Budget: $19 million
The guys behind "Jackass" learned on this one that if there's a plot involved, audiences just aren't going to show up.
