Despite the Walt Disney Company’s outstanding reputationhttp://www.nomeessentado.com with constant box office smash hitshttp://www.nomeessentado.com there have been rather large flops along the way. Andhttp://www.nomeessentado.com unfortunately for the company gianthttp://www.nomeessentado.com when they have a box office failhttp://www.nomeessentado.com they fail hard. Disney have a standard in whichhttp://www.nomeessentado.com their audience expect gold every time a movie is released.
With so many Disney fans and Disney lifestyle bloggershttp://www.nomeessentado.com Walt Disney are always under pressure to produce the very best. Here are just 5 of Disney’s biggest box office fails.
1. Mars Needs Mums
Budget- $150 million
Box office- $39 million
Many Disney fans didn’t know that Mars Needs Mums was a Disney movie. This wasn’t just a movie that didn’t meet expectations – it was a movie that would become the Titanic of box office bombshttp://www.nomeessentado.com one of the biggest in history. It left many wondering where the movie went wrong.
2. Tomorrowland
Budget- $190 million
Box office- $209 million
When Disney gets George Clooneyhttp://www.nomeessentado.com big results are expected since George Clooney is an A-list actor. Tomorrowland was one of the biggest flops of 2015. This was another one Disney had high hopes forhttp://www.nomeessentado.com and put out big on its marketing campaign. So bighttp://www.nomeessentado.com that Disney apparently wound up losing around $120 million! Howeverhttp://www.nomeessentado.com for Disney this was possibly just pocket change.
Tomorrowland itself was a very visually impressive spectaclehttp://www.nomeessentado.com with a great trailerhttp://www.nomeessentado.com and added star power. Unfortunatelyhttp://www.nomeessentado.com it never really got around to telling the story.
3. The Black Cauldron
Budget- $44 million
Box office- $21.3 million
The losses of The Black Cauldron are nothing compared to what some of the other films on this list losthttp://www.nomeessentado.com but so much more was at stake for this one back in 1985. Todayhttp://www.nomeessentado.com Disney has the finances to bounce back from a surprise disasterhttp://www.nomeessentado.com howeverhttp://www.nomeessentado.com years agohttp://www.nomeessentado.com The Black Cauldron was the most expensive animated movie made at the timehttp://www.nomeessentado.com sohttp://www.nomeessentado.com a lot was riding on it.
4. Lone Ranger
Budget- $225 million
Box office- $260.5 million
Even before The Lone Ranger was releasedhttp://www.nomeessentado.com fans could tell that this was a mirrored character from Captain Jack Sparrow. It had the makings of a misfire before it even premieredhttp://www.nomeessentado.com and once the negative critical reviews began to pour inhttp://www.nomeessentado.com the fate of The Lone Ranger was sealed.
5. Home on the Range
Budget- $110 million
Box office- $103 million
The ‘90s are referred to as the Disney renaissance period for a reason. While so many of the films they were releasing during that time were proving to be big hits that were revitalizing the companyhttp://www.nomeessentado.com Disney couldn’t keep it up forever. There was bound to be a flop. Home on the Range is a testament to that. A movie about a group of cows didn’t prove to be as popular as Disney had hoped.
