Every year there are films that sweep at the box office and make it clear that the public still wants to see titles on the big screen. However, there are also great productions that crash at the box office and generate multimillionaire losses. Thanks to Deadline we already know what were The 5 greatest disasters of 2024 And to what extent money was lost with them.
As expected, El Mayor Fricaso of 2024 Fue ‘Joker: Folia with two’because it was already said at the time that it had generated losses worth $ 200 million during its passage through theaters. Income from other roads have shuffled something the blow, but surely in Warner they continue to regret having done it.
Among the five largest failures of last year are losses worth 490.4 million dollars. A black hole of money in which it is striking that Almost all of them are science fiction filmsa genre that often requires very large investments that are not always justified. Let’s go there with them.
5- ‘the requirement The Hunter’
The Sony superhero universe officially reached its end with this film starring Aaron Taylor Johnson in which Sony spent 191 million dollars between the budget -110 million-, the investment in marketing -50 million- and other expenses. Unfortunately for the study, ‘Kraven The Hunter’ only reported income by 120 million, which translates into 71 million losses.

4- ‘Megalopolis’
The film that Francis Ford Coppola took more than 40 years to make a reality and that he financed entirely from his pocket a tremendous batacazo at the box office. In fact, their income is estimated at just 70.5 million dollars -and there they can already thank heaven because sales abroad before their premiere are encrypted at 50 million -while their expenses shot up to 146 million -of which 120 belong to their budget. The final baggage was 75.5 million losses.

3- ‘Borderlands’
A disaster that its director Eli Roth blames the fact that it is impossible to prepare a film of these characteristics through Zoom. An investment of 184 million – the most important expense was obviously its budget of 120 million – was translated into a return of just 104, so it had to be assumed 80 million losses.

2- ‘Furious: from the Mad Max saga’
In my opinion, the greatest injustice in this list, since it is true that George Miller fails to reach the same level as ‘Mad Max: Fury on the road’, but it is a shame that a good film like ‘furious’ failed in that way: Warner spent 330.6 million -168 million budget and 108 in Marketing were his conviction-, while only recovered 211 million. Result? 119.6 million losses

1- ‘Joker 2: Folie à paux’
The first installment was a historical success with a collection of 1,078 million dollars, but the second sank with the entire team. The total investment in it is encrypted at 371.3 million dollars, being the budget of 200 million and the marketing spending of 106.3 million where we find the largest black hole of money, while Warner only recovered 227 million. Therefore, the study has ended Losing 144.3 million dollars With her.
