Hollywood has always been the land of the big screen dreams, but it's also a place where those dreams can come crashing down in an instant. Every year, moviegoers witness a handful of highly-anticipated movies that fail to meet expectations and become box office disasters. From huge productions with big-name stars to smaller indie films, the film industry is known for its unpredictability.One of the most significant examples of a box office bust is 2019's 'Cats.' The musical adaptation, starring Taylor Swift and Idris Elba, cost $100 million to produce but only grossed $6.5 million in its opening weekend. Critics and audiences alike were appalled by the bizarre CGI effects and the lackluster plotline, which led to one of the most infamous flops in recent memory.Another example is 2013's 'The Lone Ranger,' which Disney had hoped would become the next big franchise. Despite a reported $250 million production budget, the film's opening weekend grossed only $29 million, and it ultimately lost the studio over $190 million. Even with the star power of Johnny Depp and a well-known brand name, 'The Lone Ranger' couldn't find success at the box office.Similarly, 2012's 'John Carter' was a massive disappointment for tDisney. Based on a classic science fiction novel, the film's production budget reportedly exceeded $250 million, but it only earned $73 million domestically. It was a rare critical and commercial failure for the usually successful Disney studio.<a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1uDL8J3tBpkvUVQTEJ5wCPWtb0c6LvY3C" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ver Suzume no Tojimari 2022 Pelicula Completa</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1CkMZSsuv8IpFRbjnFfqroukxYLea39mh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ver Suzume no Tojimari 2022 Pelicula Completa</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1v7Jr8tG5YVblUosNixP1ftuqQRaXSeKu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Suzume no Tojimari en Streaming Français</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/104AsnkU8OCIS5Az757dezwl7oJ6tiXt0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Suzume no Tojimari en Streaming Français</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1Og_bYxyKhR4nNQEdERfHrLMHAvGOICAn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">การผนึกประตูของซุซุเมะ เรื่องเต็ม</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1xrgaxBMxHKp5e1tzn1NGZTU3q3yxpBfK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">การผนึกประตูของซุซุเมะ เรื่องเต็ม</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/14xgo8D7NrV68PGEM-qhSU24DqBmHgGOG" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">铃芽之旅 完整版</a><a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1xCzTyIVR52MxkR26dpJxDr_jHuanpWv3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">铃芽之旅 完整版</a><a href="https://shows.acast.com/rse/episodes/643c1c0cff1e4d00117f5c3e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Super Mario Bros. - O Filme</a><a href="https://shows.acast.com/rse/episodes/643c1c3c183b3b00118a83c5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Super Mario Bros. - O Filme</a>In 2013, 'After Earth,' starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, was expected to be a major summer hit. But after poor reviews and lackluster word-of-mouth, the film ended up barely breaking even at the box office. 'After Earth' earned just over $60 million domestically, failing to recoup its $130 million budget.Recently, 2020's 'Mulan' was another highly-anticipated film that didn't meet expectations at the box office. The live-action adaptation of the classic Disney animated film had a reported $200 million production budget, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was only released on Disney+ for an additional fee. While the streaming numbers aren't publicly available, 'Mulan' didn't make a dent at the traditional box office and has generally been considered a disappointment for the studio.
