The year isn't over yet, and films already opened haven't all closed their runs either, not domestically and not internationally. But Forbes has published its list of 2013's biggest flops, and there are no surprises, not least the ranking of Bill Condon's The Fifth Estate at the top of that list!
- The Fifth Estate (Budget: $28m, Returns: $6m / 21%)
- Bullet to the Head (Budget: $25m, Returns: $9m / 36%)
- Paranoia (Budget: $35m, Returns: $13.5m / 39%)
- Parker (Budget: $35m, Returns: $17m / 49%)
- Broken City (Budget: $35m, Returns: $19m / 54%)
- Battle of the Year (Budget: $20m, Returns: $11m / 55%)
- Getaway (Budget: $18m, Returns: $10.5m / 58%)
- Peeples (Budget: $15m, Returns: $9m / 60%)
- R.I.P.D. (Budget: 130m, Returns: $78m / 60%)
- The Big Wedding (Budget: $35m, Returns: $22m / 63%)
do many films flop during the holiday season ?? just thinking the studios go with big movies or higher profile potential award stuff.things that may "under perform" rather than flop ?
ReplyDeleteso i guess the top 10 flops is pretty much for the year ???
Probably. Films tend to hold on well through the holiday season into January, so not a lot of them flop, even if they open modestly. Without much big competition in January, that tends to be a month when holdovers thrive.
