I liked "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," but I wouldn't have known about the movie if it hadn't been on Prime Video. I blame the promotion, not the film.
@@CraigBeere Its like Underworld: Blood Wars all over again: Extremely poor promotion and hardly any countries it was theatrically released in. People who absolutely wanted to watch it, was forced to download the scene releases.
The reason the remake of The Crow failed is going to be the same reason the upcoming remake of American Psycho will fail too. Don’t mess with perfection
No it's not, problem was they did too many crow other stories instead of actually trying to tell the comic book version story sewing as the Brandon Lee one also doesn't even follow much of the comic but okay
Right! They should just put classic movies back in theaters instead of remaking them. Last Christmas, my local theater had 'Die Hard' in the theater for one week. I can't even describe how satisfying it was to see the air duct scene on the big screen for the first time. I almost tried.😅
As much as I like Cavill as an actor and a good down-to-earth dude, he takes on too many terrible roles that consistently flop with audiences. He should fire his manager immediately and salvage what little career he has left. He's not getting any younger.
Cavill was excellent in the Witcher.... Sure the first season had issues but over all it was a bloody good show .... Until episode 4 of the second season where Netflix decided it was a brilliant idea to jam it full of gay , poofer , girl bosses and made the witch a back ground character in his own show .... Don't get me start on the pile of steaming dog shit called "Blood Origins " The witch could of been a good show with cavill in it ... But no Netflix had to cow tail the the DIL feminists freaks and the modern audiences that don't exist.... And brain dead studios still haven't learnt a darn thing .... And it fell off a cliff with razor sharp rocks at the bottom
Why would you even bother going to the cinema any more ...? The mafia extortion prices at the candy bar .... now paying 25 to 40 bucks per ticket (here in Australia) to some movie ,cheap remake or knock off that nobody wanted or asked for in the first place .....
It's a dilemma - you have to respend the same amount as the film budget to market it. 'Flop' doesn't mean a bad film, it means it didn't turn a profit. Extensive marketing of a bad film just increases the losses - see recent Disney performance on this. Poor marketing of a good film shows lack of belief in the product.
It's a real shame because everyone has Bayverse PTSD and Paramount did not give it the ad campaign it deserved. It was critically well received and Hasbro is happy enough to greenlight a plan for a sequel.
@_GeneralMechanics_ I've always believed the robot focused storyline would make a better movie but seeing as nobody is supporting it in cinemas audiences deserve another Bayformer.
I had to be forced to watch it but it wasn't nearly the abortion of a movie I thought it would be but all the trailers made it look so stupid. I don't know if I'd call it a good movie but it wasn't bad
Transformers 1 was actually an amazing movie and a great version of the origin of Optimus prime and Megatron me and several people I know love that movie I'm genuinely shocked it flopped especially because animation is where the transformers series truly shines
I just saw the trailer and it looked like a made-for-kids cartoon comedy. I imagine that was the first impression most people got and like myself, didn't go to see it.
Nah, it would have flopped even harder if it was called something else. It was a very bad film without any redeeming qualities. The Crow name was it's only draw and the only reason anyone saw it.
@@OdinReactor the action. there were a few good action sequences. the ONLY redeeming parts and hardly redeeming at that! i mean the story was so bad and nothing can redeem it from the worst dialogue ive ever heard!
@@xxZigxx I saw the movie. He walks casually into a hail of bullets without any stakes and proceeds to very slowly stab a few guys who comically stand around waiting for it to happen. That was 2 minutes of a 111 minute movie talking about their feelings. My point is even what little action there was, it was comically bad.
@OdinReactor nah there were some genuinely cool shots! What you described happens in the original movie too. But the stuff of him shooting through his own chest to take out the guy grabbing him from behind has fun. It was better than the choreography we get in most action movies especially of late.
Streaming really has changed the landscape that is cinema, because there are just so many movies that really are "I can wait until it comes to streaming" that they literally have no chance in theaters. And Pandora's box is open, there's no putting it back in, people LOVE streaming, and considering the directions that theaters have gone, requiring that you reserve seats, upcharges for experience X, some even charging more for "better seats" in the same damn movie, on top of extremely high price for a ticket, people would rather spend less than a movie ticket for an entire month of a streaming service.
@@martinwakefield8138 It is, and with 4k TVs (even with upscaling) being so common place in homes the video quality is easily on par to what you would see in a theater.
@@martinwakefield8138"direct to video" was usually considered niche or low budget movies, so it makes sense that if Apple or other streamer goes "directly to stream" it may get the same reputation. If they on the other hand did spend less on production, the long tail of streaming and full control over the recommendation algos may be well worth it, rather than to pay others for marketing and cinema when the target audience does not have that spending pattern anyway.
I went to see a matinee of Gladiator at the Arc Light and had assigned seats given. When I got into the film there was about 20 people in the entire theater all seated in a large culmp in the center back where they were placed. Entire theater was open and I had people in front, behind, and on either side shoulder to shoulder. I moved seats and was kicked out for it and not refunded the tickets that were at "The discounted matinee" price of $28. This was one of the better theater experiences during that time.
I always find it weird when movies get made and then just not in anyway properly advertised. I wasn't even aware Transformers One existed until I saw clips on youtube after release (didn't realise Fly me to the Moon existed until this video).
What??? Really? That's a TERRIBLE idea. If you lack the talent to do something original, at least remake something with potential that sucked, don't touch the movies that have been beloved. It never works.
NO. NO. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Do not F with John Carpenter or Kurt Russell. Put the original back in theaters. I'll drag my kids to see it, and they will love it, and Mom will be a hero.
@@Blech-h9z right? Why bother with a bad remake when your could put the original in theaters for practically nothing and however much or little it earns it would nearly all be profit. I'd go see it like ten times or something.
"Madame Webb" "The Crow" "Horizon: An American Saga, Chapter One" "Borderlands" "Argylle" "Transformers One" "Fly Me to the Moon" "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" "Megalopolis" "Harold & the Purple Crayon"
I love the Crow, Brandon Lee died making that movie sadly. Anyone trying to remake it, everyone knows it's a cash grab. Couldn't even give him long hair in it?
I remember how “disgusted” people were when Costner spent 90 million on Waterworld. It was considered repulsive to spend that much on a movie. Lol. Endgame was literally half a BILLION dollars. Imagine all the good you could do with 500 Million dollars. lol great movie tho
The audience is never wrong. So when they avoid a film like the plague, the makers have no right to blame theater-goers for not showing up. They need to learn how to" read the air" before sinking $200 million into a guaranteed loser.
Try telling that to Disney, Amazon, Netflix or the MSHEU..... As its never the studios fault that thier 200 million plus projects face planted into the concrete .... It's alway straight white men that get attacked and blamed for everything
I do agree with you about the stupidity of makers but saying "The audience is never wrong" is crazy many deemed classic and favourite were one called flops or terrible movies
Movies are bombing because we now have a million and one things to watch AT HOME. Why race to the theater, aka start the car, spend on gas, overpriced snacks, AND put in effort to make it said theater AT a prescribed time, when we just boot up the internet and watch whatever at home. Everything will come to us eventually.
Who are those? Ever since "Star Wars - The Force Awakens" cinema died for me. Part of that is that most modern "stars" have no starpower for me. Just some average kids.
I saw Megalopolis and after a weeks I still think about it and have to say I really liked it. When in goes on Blu-ray I will be buying it. It will become a cult classic
I'm hyper aware of "Fly Me to the Moon" but that's only because I was in the hospital right before it came out and for whatever reason, they played A TON of ads for it on TV.
It (reportedly) had a budget of about $20 million. No matter how hard it flopped, the paltry budget alone made sure that it wouldn't end up on a list like this...
We all know Joker 2 or Megalopolis should be in the top spot. I believe you put Zachary Levi's movie in the number one spot is because of what he said before the election. 😂
Possibly. Also, I think as the pendulum swings back to the right as planned, Zachary Levi may get even more roles and be seen as one of Hollywood's top actors along with Chris Pratt and other Republican actors.
The only successful thing that I can think of that Zachary Levy ever did and was liked for was "Chuck". I can't think of a single Zachary Levy project ever other than Chuck before Shazam. That said seeing him in Shazam really made me not want to see him in anything else. As to the Crayon thing, never read it and the promo's for the film made it look like a bad film that would be actively unpleasant to have to sit through.
Coppola spent so much time in recent years trash talking it was almost karma that the movie flopped catastrophically. Hes been living off the highs from his prime years for too long and think his sht dont stink.
I agree with most of what you said. The one exception is that of getting out to theaters. Who can afford to go to theaters in this garbage economy and who wants to watch crap DEI movies
In fairness the title is '10 Recent Movie Flops EVERYONE Saw Coming'. Personally I saw it coming the moment it was announced. It's not the kind of film one should ever make a sequel to. Did they make a Taxi Driver 2? No, for good reason.
It might also be that this video was scripted before Joker 2 flopped. Videos from these more production-heavy channels that have sets, crews, and editors can take a few weeks from script to release.
The Marvels came out in 2023, she is talking about movies from 2024. But if we want to look at movies in the last two decades, Lone Ranger lost nearly as much or maybe a bit more. John Carter almost certainly lost more when adjusted for inflation. A handful of movies have come within $20M of the losses The Marvels suffered. Which isn't me saying The Marvels wasn't bad, it was, the story was terrible. I was just surprised Battlefield Earth turned out to have no where near as bad as losses despite it's grosses being 1/3rd it's production cost. Guess the studioes spent a lot less for advertising back then.
I knew Megalopolis was going to polarize and that Horizon wasn't exactly going to be the comeback magic that Kevin Costner needed, but T1 has me scratching my head too... it's sad when good films don't get the attention they deserve, whether IP-related or not.
When I saw Megalopolis, I did come away thinking it was a movie that would probably be reassessed at some point in the future, but at most that it would come to be regarded as a noble failure. I can't see anyone ever calling it a "good movie".
@@Micoke12 It's possible. Most likely that won't be in the US, though. It will be seen as a misunderstood classic by the rest of the world after they have seen the downfall of the United States after it has completed becoming a Fascist regime under Trump and the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church. (This will most likely occur after Republicans sweep the Mid-term elections in 2026.)
I think the reason these movies are failing is because people arent going to theaters anymore. Its very expensive. Why pay all that money when i ciuld w8 4 it to come out streaming.
no. so many of these looked so awful from the moment hey were announced! hell half of these i knew they were going to flop as soon as the casting came out! then the trailers dropped and looked so underwhelming that anyone not willing to see it in theaters IS CORRECT! i mean who ever green lit the script for madame web should never work again. or what about Megalopolis was supposed to draw people to a theater?! Take francis Ford Coppala,s name off of it and i doubt it would have even made half of what it did. nah these movies are deffinitly for streaming on a "eh i cant fand anything better to watch" kind of days, when you can realise you CAN find something better and switch over half way through. instead of paying 30$ and wasting an afternoon to realise the movie really sucks.
Sadly, I've seen all 10 of these; most of the criticism is valid. However, Transformers One was actually very good. It didn't get the marketing it needed.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is famous in the US. It is unknown everywhere else. Some small amount of research could have told the studio that, and saved them some money.
Transformers one was surprisingly a good film. The slightly dark ending was not expected but it was fun and a good film to just sit and watch. None of which i got from the trailers as they made it look like some pre school cash grab.
For me issue is that the cost of a visit to the movies is so high that I only go for something really good and really special. A few years back I might have tempted to watch most of the movies on this list as "whatever - might be ok". Not any more.
I intended to see Harold and the Purple Crayon but failed because it was only promoted shortly before its release and was then only in cinemas/theatres for a very short time. I remember having other commitments on the weekend of its release in the UK and I told myself I’d catch it the following week, but it didn’t stay in cinemas that long so I never got the opportunity.
I actually really enjoyed Argyle. Also, The Crow flopped because it’s disrespectful. Brandon Lee lost his life making that film. It didn’t need a remake. It’s perfect as is.
We passed on most of the movies that we would have like to see in the theatre this year because they had run times of 3+ hours. I'm not going to sit in a theatre that long unless the movie is a sure thing and none of them are these days. Movies that long are better watched in the comfort of your own home.
Glad Skarsgard did the crow to prove he’s a one trick pony (if that). Everyone was gagging over his terrible clown performance in IT. Clearly he’s just a.. weird face. it’s good to have that veil lifted for everyone else.
Theres been hundreds of thousands of movies made in over a century with so many of them that had great ideas that just weren't right for one reason or another, why dont they remake those? I hate that these people are so greedy they try to remake a movie that was already great to begin with, or reboot the same comic biok movie every decade or so. How many times can you make the same alien/ haloween movie smh.
I just really want to see a director defend their decisions or explain why they did what they did? Like example borderlands? Why did you decide to replace a 20yo with a 55yo? What were you expecting? Some of these are really feeling like money laundering projects rather than movies 😅
It's more to do with the turnaround from movie to streaming than a movies quality. Some movies you KNOW if you miss it in movies, meh, it'll be on streaming soon and I know EXACTLY which platform it will be on. Other movies, well I'm not sure when or where it will show up so im going to go see it becsuse it looks GOOD. Others are ... I want to see it, but I don't $25 a ticket see it. If we still had video stores though .....
Why Hollywood insists on making movies based on children's books that ultimately turn out to be garbage baffles me: Harold, Curious George, Where the Wild Things Are as examples. Comic books, Star Wars, Star Trek - the movie business seems bent on destroying my (and a lot of peoples') childhood memories, just to turn a buck.
Harold and the Purple Crayon was nothing more than a shameful cash grab by Sony in a similar way both The Crow and Borderlands were both shameful cash grabs by Lions Gate.
I liked "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," but I wouldn't have known about the movie if it hadn't been on Prime Video. I blame the promotion, not the film.

Then Just Watch The Original.
Right! Remake bad movies that should have been good instead. We don't need another Crow. We need a well made Punisher movie lol

In fairness the title is '10 Recent Movie Flops EVERYONE Saw Coming'. Personally I saw it coming the moment it was announced. It's not the kind of film one should ever make a sequel to. Did they make a Taxi Driver 2? No, for good reason.
It might also be that this video was scripted before Joker 2 flopped. Videos from these more production-heavy channels that have sets, crews, and editors can take a few weeks from script to release.
The film was too much of a musical that it turned fans away for that reason alone
Take transformers one out and put joker two in ...
@@OdinReactorno Megalopolis was out at similar time so a big miss ally of what cultures list at the moment have big omissions
I saw ads for the "Ministry" for weeks. Everywhere I looked it was there.
I dislike Ritchson more than I like Cavill, so that movie was easy to skip.
Funny how The Marvels isn't mentioned and it's currently the biggest box office flop of all time.
The Marvels came out in 2023, she is talking about movies from 2024. But if we want to look at movies in the last two decades, Lone Ranger lost nearly as much or maybe a bit more. John Carter almost certainly lost more when adjusted for inflation. A handful of movies have come within $20M of the losses The Marvels suffered. Which isn't me saying The Marvels wasn't bad, it was, the story was terrible. I was just surprised Battlefield Earth turned out to have no where near as bad as losses despite it's grosses being 1/3rd it's production cost. Guess the studioes spent a lot less for advertising back then.
Lions Gate has suuuuccckkkked this year. All their movies have been flops, not just Borderlands, The Crow and Megalopolis.
Red one has entered the building
A Sony "Spiderverse" film Guarantees a Box Office flop.
unless its the actual "Spiderverse" animated films! they were good and did well!
Megalopolis was a great depiction of the dying breed. Great flick
*Transformers One* didn’t deserve to flop.
I thought it was pretty great
I thought it was a fun watch. Not ground breaking but definitely worth a watch
Facts
It didn't help that people got bent out of shape because Chris Hemsworth was Voicing Orion Pax because they wanted Peter Cullen.
Because of the these terrible things:
1) Character designs
2) Writing
3) Comedy
It ABSOLUTELY deserved it.
Wicked looks to be the next one on the list.
I Hope So.
The second I found out Fly Me To The Moon was about a plan to parallel fake the moon landing, I lost all interest.
I knew Madame Webb was going to fail once I saw Dakota‘s wig.
I knew Megalopolis was going to polarize and that Horizon wasn't exactly going to be the comeback magic that Kevin Costner needed, but T1 has me scratching my head too... it's sad when good films don't get the attention they deserve, whether IP-related or not.
There shouldn't be remakes of movies that came out already in your lifetime.
Add Furiosa to this list
The only problem with Kevin Costner films always remains the same: they star Kevin Costner 😉
He is a great producer & director... I would say even a good actor, but sooo effing annoying to watch 🤷🏻♂️
I feel that megalopolis will somehow become a cult classic in like ten years time
When I saw Megalopolis, I did come away thinking it was a movie that would probably be reassessed at some point in the future, but at most that it would come to be regarded as a noble failure. I can't see anyone ever calling it a "good movie".
No
maybe if they chop it up and make several perfume commercials out of it.
I agree. I saw it and actually did like it after a thinking about it
@@Micoke12 It's possible. Most likely that won't be in the US, though. It will be seen as a misunderstood classic by the rest of the world after they have seen the downfall of the United States after it has completed becoming a Fascist regime under Trump and the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church.
(This will most likely occur after Republicans sweep the Mid-term elections in 2026.)
It looks like the studios dont want to market their films,
Harold And The Purple Crayon came and went so fast, I totally forgot that it was even in the theaters!
Horizon was so good though, especially if you are a fan of Westerns in general, or Kevin Costner westerns in particular
I thought Argyle was decent
Me too but the marketing was awful, it made people think that Henry cavill is the lead when he's not
I think it was a very underated film. Like Hudson Hawk and Oscar. Just a lot of fun. Not as much fun as Tag, but still.
Nobody Wants To See Henry Cavill In A Movie.
Transformers One was actually the only film out of the top ten that was actually good and deserved to be a hit.
Poor Cavill two flops all in the same year.
He's the Flop King.
Fly me to the moon That's a Greg berlanti film right? The man who killed the CW though he could make a movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The crow needed to be left alone. The original was a banger.
Taylor swift does not need to get involved in writing movies: SHES NOT AN ACTRESS.
Um, most actors are not screenwriters.
I think the reason these movies are failing is because people arent going to theaters anymore. Its very expensive. Why pay all that money when i ciuld w8 4 it to come out streaming.
no. so many of these looked so awful from the moment hey were announced! hell half of these i knew they were going to flop as soon as the casting came out! then the trailers dropped and looked so underwhelming that anyone not willing to see it in theaters IS CORRECT! i mean who ever green lit the script for madame web should never work again. or what about Megalopolis was supposed to draw people to a theater?! Take francis Ford Coppala,s name off of it and i doubt it would have even made half of what it did. nah these movies are deffinitly for streaming on a "eh i cant fand anything better to watch" kind of days, when you can realise you CAN find something better and switch over half way through. instead of paying 30$ and wasting an afternoon to realise the movie really sucks.
Simple solution (for studios). Don't release films on streaming for a whole year. That forces butts into seats.
i want the Guy Richie WW2 film on physical media as not the best film he made i thought was a rocking good time of a movie
Sadly, I've seen all 10 of these; most of the criticism is valid. However, Transformers One was actually very good. It didn't get the marketing it needed.
Venom has 3 entries to date
Harold and the Purple Crayon is famous in the US. It is unknown everywhere else. Some small amount of research could have told the studio that, and saved them some money.
Transformers One does not belong on this list - it is an objectively good movie.
No It Isn't.
What about Indiana Jones and the dial of destiny?
Wasn't released in 2024.
That one should have been called Fleabag and Grandpa Jones.
Transformers one was surprisingly a good film. The slightly dark ending was not expected but it was fun and a good film to just sit and watch. None of which i got from the trailers as they made it look like some pre school cash grab.
Most of these flops don't even have names which would entice anyone to watch them.
Ministration of Ungodly Welfare?
Why have a Tongue Twister as a Title?
For me issue is that the cost of a visit to the movies is so high that I only go for something really good and really special. A few years back I might have tempted to watch most of the movies on this list as "whatever - might be ok". Not any more.
Well I'm glad they have you doing better subject matter now! Congratulations
Honestly, transformers one, was great.
The amount of money a film makes is usually not directly proportional to its quality ( except for this year)
The Crow failed because it's so depressing it makes 'million dollar baby' and 'one flew over the coocoo's nest' seem positive, slightly upbeat movies.
I intended to see Harold and the Purple Crayon but failed because it was only promoted shortly before its release and was then only in cinemas/theatres for a very short time. I remember having other commitments on the weekend of its release in the UK and I told myself I’d catch it the following week, but it didn’t stay in cinemas that long so I never got the opportunity.
Same actually. The theatrical release was so short I missed it too. Rented it on streaming the other day. Movie was fine. My kids loved it
I actually really enjoyed Argyle. Also, The Crow flopped because it’s disrespectful. Brandon Lee lost his life making that film. It didn’t need a remake. It’s perfect as is.
We passed on most of the movies that we would have like to see in the theatre this year because they had run times of 3+ hours. I'm not going to sit in a theatre that long unless the movie is a sure thing and none of them are these days. Movies that long are better watched in the comfort of your own home.
Glad Skarsgard did the crow to prove he’s a one trick pony (if that).
Everyone was gagging over his terrible clown performance in IT. Clearly he’s just a.. weird face. it’s good to have that veil lifted for everyone else.
I loved him in Boy Kills World.
Theres been hundreds of thousands of movies made in over a century with so many of them that had great ideas that just weren't right for one reason or another, why dont they remake those? I hate that these people are so greedy they try to remake a movie that was already great to begin with, or reboot the same comic biok movie every decade or so. How many times can you make the same alien/ haloween movie smh.
I just really want to see a director defend their decisions or explain why they did what they did? Like example borderlands? Why did you decide to replace a 20yo with a 55yo? What were you expecting?
Some of these are really feeling like money laundering projects rather than movies 😅
It's more to do with the turnaround from movie to streaming than a movies quality.
Some movies you KNOW if you miss it in movies, meh, it'll be on streaming soon and I know EXACTLY which platform it will be on.
Other movies, well I'm not sure when or where it will show up so im going to go see it becsuse it looks GOOD.
Others are ... I want to see it, but I don't $25 a ticket see it. If we still had video stores though .....
Day 871 of asking for timestamps and/or chapters.
Don't forget to add "not abruptly ending the videos", too.
I was just thinking these videos would be better with timestamps. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I completely agree with you with that!! Why are they doing so many remakes of amazing movies!
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was a Cool Film to See
No It wasn't
Megalopolis was "unwieldly"?
TRANSFORMERS ONE WAS NOT A FLOP IT HAD POOR MARKETING!!!!
It was and stop screaming
It was a flop. Cope.
Calling a movie a flop doesn't mean it was a bad movie, it just means it didn't do well at the box-office, so Transformers One was definitely a flop.
There are 3 Venom movies. Venom 3 came in late October. You would have known that 8 days ago.
YT has labeled the Megalopolis section "Melanopolis." 🤣🤣🤣
Why Hollywood insists on making movies based on children's books that ultimately turn out to be garbage baffles me: Harold, Curious George, Where the Wild Things Are as examples.
Comic books, Star Wars, Star Trek - the movie business seems bent on destroying my (and a lot of peoples') childhood memories, just to turn a buck.
Harold and the Purple Crayon was nothing more than a shameful cash grab by Sony in a similar way both The Crow and Borderlands were both shameful cash grabs by Lions Gate.
Borderlands made $33 million globally, Spawn made $88 million. Without adjusting for inflation...
Why do you think
Kevin Costner only appeals to older people?
I don’t agree
And older people are pretty cool
Transformers one looks like something my boy would stream the hell out of on Netflix. That'll make money still
Finally a decent presenter- Thank you Ellie
