FF. They're going out of their way to piss people off. Seems like the people behind that don't even like superheroes.
It's Paul Rudd. What do you expect?

Ant-Man and Dr. Strange are making the least amount of money out of the films listed
Ant-Man is coming on the heels of Avengers 2, so it kinda hinges on how much people like that one. it's out less than a month later i think. wonder if there will be any lead in post credit scene, or story element in Avengers 2 that brings up Hank Pym and shyt.
We need a good perspective movie. Last movie to even do it was Honey I Shrunk the Friggin Kids, and we need a good Aquatic movie. So I think Ant-Man and Aquaman will be good.

what's considered a flop?? domestic? total?
spiderman shouldn't be anywhere on this list.. that's automatic money even if the movie sucks
ant-man i can't see anyone caring about unless they put him in avengers first or have a shytload of them in his movie
Spiderman's budget was $200 mil. That doesn't factor advertising in (at least i don't believe it does) according to imdb it made $202 domestic. If you're making a movie for hundreds of millions of dollars you're not looking to break even. Im sure it made a lot overseas, but 2 mil over budget domestically might as well be a flop. Especially when you consider the actual Spiderman character is not in the plans for a 3rd movie at the moment. If Marvel breaks even on a movie, everyone is gonna hail it a flop. Seriously though, even if Spiderman made $400 total, that kinda sucks for the popularity of the source material.
EDIT - damn, it made $708 worldwide. I guess Americans are just sick of Spiderman. Lets be real, we're all that matters when it comes to box office. No one is making huge blockbusters with their sights on strictly the overseas market. Still gotta figure that if Marvel studios put out a Spiderman movie, mixed in one of their people, it would do Iron Man money.
Lol @ we're all that matters.
Domestic totals have been going down year over year for a while now while worldwide totals keep going up and up.
In reality, domestic keeps getting less and less important.
Most studios are making movies with eyes on worldwide now.
This isnt the 80s and 90s.
Not really. Very few movies make profit off just US alone.
And lol @300,000 in random asian country.
Transformers 3 made 301 million in china and only 245 million in the US.
Like I said, this isnt the 80s and 90s. Every year domestic totals keep falling and the rest of the world keeps going up.
You can completely flop domestically now and it doesnt matter.
Expendables 3 didnt even clear 40 million domestic but is at over 200 million worldwide.
i mean, i wasn't talking about China obviously. yeah, and Expendables 4 is probably not happening, b/c those movies fukkin suck. As did TAS2. that's what it comes down to. no one is clamoring for more over here.
I'd actually be curious to see how much it costs to release wide across the globe + advertising in all those countries.

One thing to keep in mind is that the cut studios get from the worldwide box office is a lot lower, due to different distributing deals and the fact Hollywood can't pressure the theater chains for the biggest possible cut like they do in US. That's why domestic gross is still incredibly important to studios even as the worldwide box office takes a bigger role.
