As usual, some films turn out to be less successful than others. In the past year, you've definitely seen a movie from which you sincerely expected more. Perhaps it was this one that ended up on our list of movie disappointments.
Top 15: the biggest movie disappointments of 2017
15. Ghost in the shell (2017)
The sci-fi thriller starring male heartthrob Scarlett Johanson has been accused of alleged racism. Nevertheless, it generated earnings worth $60 million.
14. The Dark Tower (2017)
The film, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaghey, is based on Stephen King's book proposal. With that said, we should get a masterpiece, but the film disappointed the critics. The creators made 'only' 52 million dollars with it.
13. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, 2017)
Director Luc Besson, who impressed with the film The Fifth Element in 1997, failed to convince the audience this time. The sci-fi adventure generated $44 million more in expenses than in revenue.
12. Mother! (mother!, 2017)
The film, which raised a lot of dust due to its feminist content, also ended the relationship between actress Jennifer Lawrence and director Darren Aronofsky. In addition, it also disappointed with a relatively small profit of $11.5 million.
11. The Snowman (2017)
The highly anticipated crime thriller was quickly buried by bad reviews. The film's budget was estimated at 35 million dollars, but it managed to earn 8 million more.
10. Boston Heroes (Patriot's Day, 2016)
The film about the 2013 Boston Marathon terrorist attack didn't get harsh reviews, but it still didn't manage to earn much - only $3 million. And this despite the fact that the main role in the film is played by Mark Wahlberg.
9. CHiPs (2017)
The derivative of the police series, which was published between 1977 and 1983, did not experience excessive success. She earned only $1.8 million.
8. Final Showdown (Free Fire, 2017)
The film about the conflict between two criminal groups managed to return only $1.8 million on a low budget of $10 million.
7. How to cure wellness (A Cure for Wellness, 2017)
The psychological horror film, which is set in Switzerland, hit the creators hard on the wallet. The $40 million invested was reflected in $27 million in revenue.
6. Detroit (2017)
Director Kathryn Bigelow's film is set in 1967, when there was racial unrest in Detroit. Although it received good reviews, it failed to turn a profit. It created a 14 million loss.
5. Only the Brave (2017)
This drama, based on real events, had its premiere just in October, when the terrible fires were raging in California. Given that it tells the story of self-sacrificing firefighters, one would have expected a bigger success than the film did. Otherwise, it got a good rating, but unfortunately it produced a loss of 15 million.
4. Suburbicon (2017)
Director George Clooney did not experience the kind of success with this film that he was used to with most of the films he made as an actor. Set in 1957, a black family moves into a white neighborhood, leading to a series of dramatic events. The $16.5 million loss certainly didn't make the filmmakers happy.
3. Just Getting Started (2017)
The action comedy starring Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones has been labeled as one of the worst movies of the year. Many wonder how this $16.5 million loss movie ever got made.
2. Tulip Fever (2017)
The film follows the love between a painter and a married woman in 17th century Amsterdam. More dust than the film itself has been raised by allegations of sexual harassment by producer Harvey Weinstein. The creators made a loss of 17 million dollars.
1. King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, 2017)
The legend of the British warlord King Arthur has been depicted many times on the small and big screens. This movie, directed by Guy Ritchie, also features former famous soccer player David Beckham, which apparently wasn't enough to make it a success. The film topped our list with a $26 million loss.
