Most disappointing movie ever (high expectations, but flopped)
 

Hi

The other post about the "worst" movie ever does not apply here. I'm thinking of a movie that, for a variety of reasons (story, cast, director, budget), had every reason to be an excellent movie, yet it still flopped.

One that comes to mind for me is Pearl Harbor. Tried to be a great war movie and have a good love story and missed badly on both. I'm sure it is not the "worst" flop, but I was disappointed.

I thought it would have been impossible to screw up a parody of teen movies, but Not Another Teen Movie proved me wrong.

Obviously not the most disappointing movie ever, but I think most people who saw this movie share my thoughts.

Casting Ben Affleck in a movie should put a damper on any expectations.

from Wiki...top box office BOMBS:

In the most dramatic cases, a film's poor performance can push a studio into financial ruin, as happened with United Artists (Heaven's Gate), Carolco Pictures (Cutthroat Island), Franchise Pictures (Battlefield Earth), and Square Pictures (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within).

The size of a box office "bomb" can be determined by either the net loss sustained, or by a loss percentage (1 - gross revenue/production costs). By using these two measurements, the biggest U.S. box office bombs listed below are (respectively) Alexander (2004) with a net loss of $120,702,809, and Zyzzyx Road (2006) with a loss percentage of 99.9985% of production costs. Considering worldwide box office sales, the biggest loser was The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) with a net loss of $92,896,027.
