LIST: These were the 10 biggest movie flops of the year

Tony Cuddihy

Some of them could still find some popularity in this part of the world, but don’t go holding your breath.

According to Forbes, these were the ten biggest flops of the year in the United States box office.

If it was 1993 they’d be going to straight to video.

Disclaimer: Ben-Hur and Zoolander 2 were so shit that they weren’t even shit enough to make a list of the year’s 10 shittiest films. 

10. Masterminds

9. Snowden

Many Americans still feel betrayed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden, which could be why this biopic starring Joseph Gordon Levitt tanked. It has yet to be released in the UK or Ireland.

8. Grimsby

It’s a long time since Borat.

7. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

6. Keeping Up With The Joneses

It’s been a bad year for Zach Galifianakis.

5. Ratchet and Clank

Never even heard of it.

4. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

The best title since Snakes On A Motherfuckin’ Plane couldn’t save it.

3. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Critics didn’t hate it, but audiences stayed away.

2. Free State of Jones

Matthew McConaughey’s career resurgence had to end somewhere.

1. Max Steel

Made $4m off a $10m budget. That has got to hurt.
