Now we’re well into 2025 the accurate figures for last year have come in and were calculated with production budgets and box-office, publicity spend, residuals/distribution, interest, etc. and revenue to the studio from theatrical (minus exhibitor cuts), home entertainment, television and streaming. So just how much did the biggest flops of 2024 lose?
So the fifth film on the list that lost the most was “Kraven the Hunter” which lost $71 million. One of several superheros film that had bombed over the past 18 months but as Sony co-financed the film it meant that their personal loss was less than half that.
In fourth place was, perhaps unsurprisingly, Megalopolis. Francis Ford Coppola’s self financed folly that cost $120m and lost $75.5 with the film having made over 70% of its money outside the US. For Lionsgate the distributor it was not quite so bad as their distribution costs are thought to have averaged only $4m.
So in at number three was Lionsgate’s ‘Borderlands’ that has sat on the shelf for quite a while before it was released and bombed losing $80m.
Perhaps its the number two film that is the biggest surprise with it being Furiosa. Highly anticipated after the huge critical and commercial success of Fury Road the film ended up losing $120m and looks likely to have put an end to any future films in that franchise.
But the biggest failure was another hugely anticipated film Joker: Folie a Deux”. A catastrophic disaster on all fronts both critically and commercially with audience members walking out and the studio aghast at the end product. The film lost $144m having cost $371 million to make, market and release.
