Forbes Magazine's List of Biggest Flops of Last Five Years

yeah that should just some up most of the sh*t films, however i noticed Avatard wasn't on there, what's up with that?

a wonder why ? maybe its the biggest grossing film of all time.

Too bad that Aronofsky's Fountain is there. That film delivers greatly on an intellectual level and does not deserve to be here.
But hey, When was Hollywood ever fair, remember Firefly.

@leezy84-

"a wonder why ? maybe its the biggest grossing film of all time."

yeah but it's a special case.

you're a special case

Many of those films don't deserve to be there. And I still won't consider Land of the Lost like such big of a flop (it still earned 70 mill)

It's a flop because it spent $100 million. Yes it made more then a lot of these cost but they're still out $30 mil.

I thought Stay was really good. I don't think I heard of it until it came to dvd though.

Walk Hard is pretty underrated as well. John C. Reily totally killed that part haha.

I noticed Will Ferrell is connected to a few of these.

A coincidence, I think not.

I'm still in denial that Grindhouse did so poorly then... Stay... a VERY under rated movie....and The Fountain was such a great movie i just i feel so bad at how poorly it did in the BO, school for scoundrels doesn't even matter considering The Hangover made $467 million world wide... Todd Phillips had the last laugh...

The Adventures of Pluto Nash still reigns supreme I guess.

Yeah I can agree most of these are sh*t movies, not all but most.

the fountain lost 19 millions
the invasion lost 40 millions

why the f*ck is the fountain higher?

What about Stealth?
Budget: 135 Mio.
Box Office: 76 Mio.

A sound of Thunder
Budget: 80 Mio.
Box Office: 11 Mio.

@Wallace: Wow, didnt know Stealth was such a flop. I really liked that movie for some reason. Probably had something to do with Biel bikini scene.

Most of these films definitely deserved to lose money, but I was sorry to see Grindhouse (just too long), The Assassination of JJ(same prob as Grindhouse), and The Fountain (completely over the average moviegoer's head) not at least make their budgets back. The Fountain may not have been a financial success but if you've ever dealt with seeing a love one die from cancer you'd know how special this movie truly is. Aronofsky is easily one of the best directors to come along in the last 20 years.

"Stealth" and "A Sound of Thunder" both came out in 2005 and I was thinking: "Maybe the list was made counting from 2006 onwards only".

But then I noticed, "Aeon Flux", "Stay" and "The Producers" all came out in 2005 too.

Looks like someone at Forbes was incompetent at putting this list together.

@ SACdaddy: 100 % agreed, couldn't have said it better.

Lohag's tits

@Wallace - good eye on Stealth. And I didn't even hear of 'A Sound of Thunder.' Stealth was OK for mindless, upgraded, fictional Top Gun fare. Would an A.I. machine really grow into loyalty and sacrifice itself? Good road to go down and think upon.

@Ricky - it's lists like this and a prev. one posted here on WP (of actor's - how much they're paid vs. how much they bring in), that it they're smart will see QUICKLY how OVER paid Ferrell is and chop that pay down to size. He's a $5mil. a movie actor, not f*cking $20mil!

@PP - these Forbes lists are a huge joke! Just as big is their Hollywood Power List. They miss people from that list (people the public may not know) left and right. So a grain of sale on anything with Forbes attached to it. I think it's running on momentum, and it's not the powerhouse it was when the old man was alive and well.

PS: I think Ferrell is great as a supporting actor: Old School, Wedding Crashers... etc. Even in Roxbuy, Katan acted circles around Ferrell. Want to see him in a good drama - 'Winter Passing' (2005). But even he is honest enough to admit running around yelling like an idiot is where the money is (almost a direct quote). Too bad the fans don't expect/demand more from this guy. He should go into drama. It worked for Tom Hanks.

Jesse James was a GOOD movie. Maybe too gritty and realistic and too close to the truth for people to see an outlaw/Hero (to some) portrayed in real light. Pitt was his usual amazing (as was everyone in it).

And Love Guru even making $41mil. before word got around that it sucked, tells of what star-power Myers had, and the loyalty of his fans. The ONLY good thing about that movie was Alba (to look at), and Timberlake's performance... top notch!

The rest sucked farts out of dead cows!

Same as all the King's Men. Great story and acting. But same as Jesse James... no Transformers.

"these Forbes lists are a huge joke! [...] and it's not the powerhouse it was when the old man was alive and well."

- Tell me about it! I have a business relationship with three of their consultants and they're complete morons!

The only thing that's holding up that company at this point is the name and the paint on the walls.

Yep... running on steam for sure since the old guy died.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - was a pretty damn good movie, should have won best picture in my mnid, and as for the only other movie i liked on this list, the Fountain, I'm surprised it made that much lol it was a good movie but i felt like i was the only one who watched it on this planet...

I totally disagree with you...

As good as Jesse James was it had absolutely no f*cking pacing to it.. it was a god damn mess for the most part.... And to say it should have won best picture of No Country, or There Will be Blood or f*ckin Michael Clayton is just plain retardation...

of = over

f*cking edit button mother f*cker

@trig - I see your point, and no argument here.

Maybe Brad was a bit heavy on portraying the facts (almost doc*mentary in style), and less art(sy).

Still, ballsy of him to bring a story of substance over 90 mins of explosions. For that, I give him a lot of credit.

This is just Box Office so says the article... I bet most of these break even or maybe even turn a profit with DVD and Blu Ray sales. The only one of these I saw in the theater was Aeon Flux but I have rented or bootlegged the rest.

no way triggax, the plot, story, omg and the narration, it doesnt get better than that, its called art. maybe you should look into it. or maybe you were just to big of a retard to get the movie. idk.

and yes i would say it should have won over no country and over michael clayton all f*ckin day lol.

Hahah...

That must be it.. It had nothing to do with the fact that they left the entire narrative up to the jarring cinemtography.. That film was a f*cking joke wrapped in sh*t wrapped in a pretentious stew of artsy garbage...

But hey.. the guy with the f*cking Wolverine avatar is probably miles more credible a source when it comes to film... f*ckin idiot..

No Country didn't win because it f*cking terrified every single viewer!!!

No country did win though.

I was distracted during that post trig (phone)... sorry.

Mis-typed.

Video hasn't disturbed me like that since seeing: 'Date Night with Vin and Daddy!'

You actually saw their date night you must be traumatized for life from that.

Oh, don't even get me started! The nightmares will return (hypnosis or not)!

Forbes Magazine's List of Biggest Flops of Last Five Years ---- what... Lohan's tits aren't listed?!

that pauly shore's mom movie will top them all

Damn, we forgot about Simple Jack!

triggax your an idiot lol enough said.

you dont know sh*t about movies.

Trigg-you changed your avatar, f*ck u Wolverine you dont know about movies lol

I guarantee I know more than any of you, unlike the most of you, my job entitles me to it.

okay if you know so much then answer this, in charlie Chaplin's film the Kid what did he keep doing behind the scenes?

He masturbated.

Yeah again like I said... YOU are the f*cking idiot... Wolverine f*ckin queer... You're the most inarticulate, illiterate f*cking fool floating around WP.. Nobody ever gives a sh*t what you have to say about f*cking anything because its difficult to understand your stupidity half of the time.. You f*cking moron...

Like I said, you have absolutely no credibility what-so-ever... Your f*cking queer little avatar speaks miles on your character and how much you actually know about films.. And obviously if you think that Jesse James deserved a win you're completely f*cking clueless...

"I guarantee I know more than any of you, unlike the most of you, my job entitles me to it."

I can tell you that, working at f*cking blockbuster stocking shelves gives you absolutely no cinematic merit.. f*ck head..

"triggax your an idiot lol enough said."

Really? "Enough Said" what are you f*cking 6? Jesus Christ, its like arguing with a f*cking down syndrome baby... Enough said... f*ck you, why is it that, that's enough said? Me being an idiot... Ooh you're so f*cking cool Big Unit, your an idiot, Enough said.. look at me its almost like my sentence had a stammering ending that nobody could ever possibly come back at... Ill give you one better f*ck face..

Big Unit, You're a faggy little blockbuster queer with a security issues over your penis size.. obviously, i mean why else would you call yourself Big Unit? Huh.. Thats like walking around with a strap on hanging out of your pants telling everyone "its my c*ck, no for reals guys thats my c*ck" f*cking stupid *sshole... Don't you f*ck with me you putrid little f*cker... You want to have a battle of wits and speak knowledge of film f*ck face.. I would pulverize you...

Tell me this, if you know so much about film.. What was James Deans first credited movie role.. Im sure its irrelevant because your stupid f*cking retarded ass will just go google it.. but at least if you can't answer that "you'll" know you're a f*cking dildo... oh yeah... PERIOD!

@lazerus...

f*cking a 15 year old girl? Hetty Kelly i believe?

Of those 15 movies I've seen 7, and of those 7, 3 of them were terrible. Walk Hard isnt bad, but it had one of the worst trailers for a movie ever because it was pretty damn funny but had no funny parts in the trailer. The Producers, Grindhouse, and The Assassination of Jesse James are all great (esp. Jesse James, best movie of '07).

Still cant believe Land of the Lost cost 100 million bucks, thats ridiculous.

the fountain was good..too bad

i think the fountain is a little more than about a guy losing his loved one to cancer, and thus should/could be a truly special movie to anyone with a mindset above "the average moviegoer."

How the f*ck did Aeon Flux make more than Grindhouse???

Trig, new avatar is nice, but the old really reached out and grabbed you a little more...

Big Unit, if your actual name is Randy Johnson, please disregard Trig's disparaging remarks about your penis size and it's affilitation with your user name. If not, he does make a valid point that you may want to rebut. And I know I used point and but in a sentence about penis size, but I promise it was not a pun or joke of any sort.

triggax-

f*cking hilarious!!

"But hey, When was Hollywood ever fair, remember Firefly"

Do you really have to go there?? Opening up wounds that will likely never heal!!! :'(

and The Fountain was definitly a brilliant film... too band 1/4 of the country is retarded.

grindhouse was great and i dont give a sh*t about blue penises
