Ten Movies That Were Box Office Disasters In 2016 – Allegiant, Gods of Egypt, Ghostbusters And MORE

Creating a box office success out of a movie is quite a tricky concept, as humans can be notoriously unpredictable at times.

So great movies can be box office flops and terrible movies can be huge successes – it’s just the way it is.

In 2016, many many movies lived up to expectation and grossed massively for their studios. Some outstretched expectations and turned in spectacular profits. Others, however, failed to make back their huge budgets for their studios and left everyone involved with eggs on their faces.

Some of the movies with the biggest budgets and marketing failed, unable to light up the fancy of the movie going public.

Below, find the ten biggest box office flops of 2016…figures and summaries via Hollywood Reporter/Screen Rant. How many of them did you watch/enjoy??

ALLIED ($85m budget)

Director Robert Zemeckis’ WWII spy adventure was one of several big misses for Paramount in 2016, and could lose $75 million to $90 million. The Thanksgiving release, costing at least $85 million to make, is all but done with its North American run with a lowly total of $39.3 milion. The news isn’t much better overseas, where Allied has grossed $41 million (it’s now opened in all of its major markets) for a global total of $80.3 million. It certainly didn’t help that Brad Pitt had to scale back a major publicity push because of his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
