I would like to review some films several times, and even show children and grandchildren so that they know what good cinema is. But there are other paintings that can be safely called the "failure of the year." It is the list of such “losers” that Forbes magazine prepared.
We present you the rating of the most failed movies of 2016 in terms of box office. It includes only films that have been shown in more than 2,000 movie theaters.
And for those who do not want to waste time, we have prepared a rating of the best films of 2016.
10. The "instigators"
- Spent on the creation: 25 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 22 million.
This is not the worst comedy, although it was on the list of failed films. As Natalie Robehmed of Forbes noted, not all films fail just because they are bad. Some of the top 10 participants were well received by critics, but turned out to be outsiders in the world of cinema for a number of reasons, whether it was marketing, the release date, poor audience reviews, or a combination of several factors.
9. “Snowden”
- Spent on the creation: 40 million dollars.
- Charges: 34.3 million dollars.
The case when the film was favorably received by critics and without much enthusiasm by the audience. Oliver Stone’s tape tells the story of a brave CIA and NSA official who was not afraid to open his eyes to the total surveillance of the stronghold of democracy for his partners. It is based on real events, with minor fictional "inserts." But for the espionage thriller, it has a lot of melodrama, and for those who wanted to learn more about Snowden, the film has many well-known moments.
8. “The Brothers from Grimsby”
- Spent on the creation: 35 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 28.7 million.
The biggest failure of the collection of films with the participation of Sasha Baron Cohen. A comedy about two brothers - a special agent and not too (to put it mildly) clever football fan. Together they have to save the planet from the impending threat. It’s a difficult task, because they failed to save the film.
7. "Reporter"
- Spent on the creation: 35 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 25 million.
An employee of the famous TV channel Kim Baker goes to Afghanistan and covers the events taking place there for five years. The beginning of her trip coincides with the introduction of coalition forces led by the United States into Afghanistan. The creators of the film tried to mix comedy and drama, in the end they got a "dish", which was not to the taste of all viewers.
6. "Spies in the neighborhood"
- Spent on the creation: 40 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 27 million.
Unremarkable tracks, the mediocre game of Islay Fisher, a small number of successful jokes, a banal plot. The shootout scenes, again, are so-so. And this is not the whole set of claims that arose with the audience.
5. "Ratchet and Clank: Galactic Rangers"
- Spent on the creation: 20 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 11.8 million.
The worst cartoon is based on a series of video games. However, the situation with him is much worse than that of the "source". The graphics are average, the plot is banal, many jokes are not funny. The villain wants to conquer the world, Ratchet, a funny, eared mechanic who has become a galactic ranger, has to save the world with his company. The film from the category of "looked and forgot right there."
4. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"
- Spent on the creation: $ 28 million.
- Fees: $ 16.4 million.
Famous cast, beauties, black humor, zombies. All the makings to “fly up” to the heights of box office. Why did the audience dislike the film? The transitions between the genres of "horror", "romanticism", "comedy" and "action" are made rather rudely, and therefore the contrast between them is very noticeable. And zombies more emphasize the main plot action than they really scare.
3. “Pop star: don't stop, don't stop”
- Spent on the creation: 20 million dollars.
- Charges: 9.5 million dollars.
“Stop and stop” - as the audience says, voting with money against this comedy musical about the three friends who created the successful group “The Style Boyz”.
2. "Jones Free State"
- Spent on the creation: 50 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 23 million.
The tape, in which Matthew McConaughey acts as a participant in the US Civil War. Cinema is based on real events and touches on topics that are sensitive to many Americans, including the relationship of blacks and whites, planters and the poor, blacks and freedom. With all its advantages, the film is quite monotonous and there are not many spectacular moments in it.
1. "Max Steel"
- Spent on the creation: 10.4 million dollars.
- Fees: $ 4.4 million.
A fantastic film about a superhero, based on the animated series in 2013 about a guy gifted with great turbo power. But it turned out that in the film universe there are already quite charismatic and not very superheroes, and with much more respectable and vivid biographies. And the teenagers on whom the film is intended, already have someone to level off. So “Max Steel” was named the most disastrous film of 2016, and this is hardly the fault of the audience.
