Yet all we hard about was birth of a nation flopping

 

[kingdarius]

this is domestic only or worldwide? cuz i cant see some of these not making that budget

 

[Ziggiy]

What about Ben Hur?

 

[Hope]

pop star looked funny, that was a surprise.

Never even heard of Max Steel. and zombies are played out already, only Walking Dead (which i hate) does it well. Masterminds didn't looked funny enough and only seemed to get buzz on net. it all makes sense to me.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Flop city. two flops from hangover dude.

 

[R=G]

Wtf is Jen Aniston doing?

 

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Pop Star was pretty terrible.

It had a funny premise, but the execution was awful. I really wanted to like it too.

 

[He Who Posts Well]

What about Ben Hur?

Didn't Tarzan flop too? This list is looking suspicious

 

[ML29]

Zach Galifinakis better happy his tv show got another season. Son finish on the big screen.

 

[the next guy]

Tina Fey needs to step it up, she's the face of the modern post SNL crew.

Nah

180 million budget
356 million gross

It probably didn't make money but it probably broke even

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

All those on that list are relatively minor flops with small budgets to be honest.

Ben hur was the biggest flop and it's not even on the list

i see they didnt make the budget back at the box office, but to call those flops is questionable to me....all the movies in that list had low budgets, and made close to the budget back (within 5-10 mil)....after dvd, streams, blu-ray, etc. i'm sure most of those made the budget money back.....what about a movie like ben hur?...that shyt had a nice size budget and tanked like hell....that would be a flop to me....
