A '''box-office bomb''', '''box-office flop''', '''box-office failure''', or '''box-office disaster''' is a film that is unprofitable or considered highly unsuccessful during its theatrical run. Although any film for which the production budget, marketing, and distribution costs combined exceed the revenue after release has technically "bombed", the term is more frequently used for major studio releases which were highly anticipated, extensively marketed, and expensive to produce, and ultimately failed commercially.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmsite.org/greatestflops.html |title=Greatest Box-Office Bombs, Disasters and Flops |publisher=Filmsite.org |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref><ref name="cnbc.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2012/03/20/The-15-Biggest-Box-Office-Bombs.html |title=The 15 Biggest Box Office Bombs |publisher=CNBC.com |date=August 23, 2010 |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref>
== Causes ==
=== Negative word of mouth ===
With the advent of [[social media]] platforms such as [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] in the 2000s, [[word of mouth]] regarding new films is easily spread and has had a marked effect on box office performance. A film's ability or failure to attract positive or negative commentary can strongly impact its performance at the box office, especially on the opening weekend.<ref name=GreatCinemaDisruption>{{cite web|url=https://www.boxofficepro.com/a-century-in-exhibition-the-2010s-the-great-disruption/|title=A Century in Exhibition-The 2010s: The Great Disruption|date=August 27, 2021|access-date=January 17, 2022|publisher=boxofficepro.com}}</ref>
=== External circumstances ===
Occasionally, films may underperform because of issues largely unrelated to the content of the film, such as the timing of the film's release. This was one of the reasons given for the commercial failure of ''[[Intolerance (film)|Intolerance]]'', [[D. W. Griffith|D. W. Griffith's]] follow-up to ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]''. Owing to production delays, the film was not released until late 1916, when the [[United States non-interventionism#20th century non-interventionism|widespread antiwar sentiment]] it reflected had started to shift in favor of [[American entry into World War I]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.filmsite.org/into.html|title=Intolerance (1916)|website=www.filmsite.org |access-date=November 7, 2017}}</ref> Another example is the 2015 docudrama about [[FIFA]] entitled ''[[United Passions]]''. A glowing portrayal of FIFA, which had mostly funded the film, ''United Passions'' was released in theaters in the United States at the same time [[2015 FIFA corruption case|FIFA's leaders were under investigation for fraud and corruption]]. The film grossed only $918 at the US box office in its opening weekend.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/2496658/fifa-film-united-passions-the-worst-in-us-history|title=FIFA film 'United Passions' one of worst in U.S. box office history|date=June 18, 2015|publisher=[[ESPN]]|access-date=June 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618160721/http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/2496658/fifa-film-united-passions-the-worst-in-us-history|archive-date=June 18, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Sometimes, a film's performance may be adversely affected by national crisis or a disaster, such as the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001, [[Hurricane Harvey]] in 2017, and the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema|COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020–2021.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/news/box-office-hitmans-bodyguard-annabelle-creation-mayweather-mcgregor-hurricane-harvey-1202539879/|title=Box Office Disaster: Lackluster Releases, Mayweather-McGregor, Hurricane Harvey Create Slowest Weekend in Over 15 Years|last=Kelley|first=Seth|date=August 27, 2017|work=Variety|access-date=November 9, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.boxofficeguru.com/091701.htm |title=Weekend Box Office |publisher=Boxofficeguru.com |date=September 17, 2001 |access-date=December 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| last= Erlichman| first= Jon| date= March 13, 2020| title= Box office bomb: COVID-19's impact on the movie theatre business| url= https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/box-office-bomb-covid-19-s-impact-on-the-movie-theatre-business-1.1405416| work= [[BNN Bloomberg]]| access-date = March 17, 2020}}</ref>
=== High production costs ===
In evaluating box-office gross numbers, it is important to keep in mind that not all money is returned to the film studio. Some of the gross is kept by the film exhibitors and the film distributor. The scratch formula for making a rough estimate of a studio's portion of the gross is that the studio usually gets half.<ref name="Hornaday">{{cite news |last1=Hornaday |first1=Ann |title=We're awash in box-office statistics. But what do the numbers really mean? |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/were-awash-in-box-office-statistics-but-what-do-the-numbers-really-mean/2018/04/05/87adf58a-38d7-11e8-8fd2-49fe3c675a89_story.html |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=April 5, 2018}}</ref>
A large budget can cause a film to fail financially, even when it performs reasonably well at the box office; 1980's ''[[Heaven's Gate (film)|Heaven's Gate]]'', for example, exceeded its planned production schedule by three months,<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://www.filminquiry.com/the-production-of-heavens-gate/|title=Unmaking of an Epic – The Production of Heaven's Gate| website= filminquiry.com | first= Alexander |last= Miller| date= April 27, 2015 |access-date=November 7, 2017| df=dmy-all}}</ref> causing its budget to inflate from $12 million to $44 million.<ref>{{cite news|last=Burr|first=Ty|title=Ty Burr revisits 'Heaven's Gate'|date=November 24, 2012|newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]]|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2012/11/24/burr-revisits-heaven-gate/km6gp1cBbxY75qxWrFs6tM/story.html|access-date=January 13, 2020|archive-date=December 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181208124051/https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2012/11/24/burr-revisits-heaven-gate/km6gp1cBbxY75qxWrFs6tM/story.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The film only earned $3.5 million at the box office.<ref>{{cite web|title=Heaven's Gate (1980)|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=heavensgate.htm|website=[[Box Office Mojo]]|access-date=January 13, 2020}}</ref>
For the 2005 film ''[[Sahara (2005 film)|Sahara]]'', its budget ballooned to $281.2 million for production, distribution, and other expenses.<ref name="Sahara expenses LATimes" /> The film earned $119 million in theaters and $202.9 million overall with television and other subsidies included, resulting in a net loss of $78.3 million.<ref name="Sahara expenses LATimes">{{cite web|date= April 15, 2007|title= $78 million of red ink?|last=Bunting| first=Glenn F. |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]| url= https://articles.latimes.com/2007/apr/15/business/fi-movie15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140507124536/https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-movie15apr15-story.html |archive-date= May 7, 2014|url-status= live |access-date= January 13, 2020| df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| first= Glenn F. |last= Bunting| url= https://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/05/business/fi-cussler5 |title= Jurors hear tales of studio maneuvering| work= Los Angeles Times| date= March 5, 2007| publisher= | url-status= live| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090327110637/https://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/05/business/fi-cussler5| archivedate= March 27, 2009| access-date= August 4, 2021| df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 2012, Disney reported losses of $200 million on ''[[John Carter (film)|John Carter]].''

The 2007 film ''[[The Golden Compass (film)|The Golden Compass]]'' had a production budget of $200 million. To be able to fund the film, [[New Line Cinema]] had to sell all of the film's international distribution rights to various film distributors around the world. The film underperformed domestically, but was an international success; however, New Line did not have a cut of the international box office. These events were major factors in New Line becoming a division of [[Warner Bros. Pictures]].<ref name=StudioBankruptingBombs>{{Cite web|url=https://www.universityfox.com/stories/failed-movies-that-singlehandedly-put-their-studios-out-of-business/|title=Failed Movies That Singlehandedly Put Their Studios Out of Business|website=University Fox|date=December 12, 2019|access-date=February 2, 2022|archive-date=May 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190509150910/https://www.universityfox.com/stories/failed-movies-that-singlehandedly-put-their-studios-out-of-business/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
== Recovery ==
Films initially thought of as "flops" may recover income elsewhere. Several films have underperformed in their countries of origin, but have been sufficiently successful internationally to recoup losses or even become financial successes.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mendelson|first1=Scott|title='Pacific Rim' And More Domestic "Flops" That Became Global Hits|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2013/09/02/pacific-rim-and-more-domestic-flops-that-became-global-hits/|work=Forbes|access-date=August 19, 2015}}</ref> Films may also recover money through international distribution, sales to [[television syndication]], distribution outside of cinemas, and releases on [[home media]].<ref>{{cite web|title=11 Beloved Movies That Were Box Office Flops|url=http://mentalfloss.com/article/59990/11-beloved-movies-were-box-office-flops|publisher=Mental Floss|access-date=August 19, 2015}}</ref> The 1995 post-apocalyptic action film ''[[Waterworld]]'' was the most expensive film ever made at the time after undergoing significant production difficulties. While it performed relatively well in the US box office, it did not initially turn a profit and became known as a box-office flop. However, international box-office takings and video sales led it to turn a profit.<ref>{{cite web |first=Mike Jr. |last=Fleming |title=Isn't It Time To Take 'Waterworld' Off The All-Time Flop List? |date=August 7, 2013 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|url=https://www.deadline.com/2013/08/isnt-it-time-to-take-waterworld-off-the-all-time-flop-list |access-date=August 13, 2013}}</ref> In 2023, ''[[Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One]]'', which underperformed at the box office, was given a [[COVID-19]] insurance payout, which amounted to £57 million ($71 million).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Black |first=Christian |date=2023-09-10 |title=Mission possible as Paramount Pictures wins £57m Covid payout |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mission-possible-as-paramount-pictures-wins-57m-covid-payout-dwn8wsjqr |access-date=September 11, 2023 |work=The Times |language=en |archive-date=September 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230910045802/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mission-possible-as-paramount-pictures-wins-57m-covid-payout-dwn8wsjqr |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=McPherson |first=Chris |date=2023-09-12 |title='Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning's Profits Boosted By $71 Million Insurance Payout bringing The Total box office to 637.1 Million. |url=https://collider.com/mission-impossible-insurance-payout-71-million/ |access-date=September 14, 2023 |work=Collider |language=en |archive-date=September 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230914004555/https://collider.com/mission-impossible-insurance-payout-71-million/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Studio failure ==
It is common for a single film's lackluster performance to push its studio into the red, in the sense of recording a net loss on its [[income statement]].

In 2001, [[Square Pictures]], a division of [[Square (video game company)|Square]], released its only film, ''[[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within]]''.

== Independent films ==
The 2006 independent movie ''[[Zyzzyx Road]]'' made just $30 at the US box office. With a budget of $1.2 million and starring [[Tom Sizemore]] and [[Katherine Heigl]], its tiny revenue is due to its limited box-office release – just six days in a single theater in [[Dallas]] for the purpose of meeting [[Screen Actors Guild]] requirements – rather than its ability to attract viewers.<ref name="CHUD">{{cite news| last = Faraci| first = Devin| title = What if they released a movie and nobody came?| work = CHUD.com| date = December 31, 2006| url = http://www.chud.com/8378/WHAT-IF-THEY-RELEASED-A-MOVIE-AND-NOBODY-CAME/| access-date = January 2, 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110607011632/http://www.chud.com/8378/WHAT-IF-THEY-RELEASED-A-MOVIE-AND-NOBODY-CAME/| archive-date = June 7, 2011| url-status = dead}}</ref><ref name="EW">{{cite magazine| title = The Strange and Twisted Tale of ...

A '''box-office bumblebee''', '''box-office Golden Retriver''', '''box-office your mom''', or '''box-office banana''' is a film that is unprofitable or considered highly unsuccessful during its theatrical run. Although any film for which the production budget, marketing, and distribution costs combined exceed the revenue after release has technically "bombed", the term is more frequently used for major studio releases which were highly anticipated, extensively marketed, and expensive to produce, and ultimately failed commercially.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmsite.org/greatestflops.html |title=Greatest Box-Office Bombs, Disasters and Flops |publisher=Filmsite.org |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref><ref name="cnbc.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2012/03/20/The-15-Biggest-Box-Office-Bombs.html |title=The 15 Biggest Box Office Bombs |publisher=CNBC.com |date=August 23, 2010 |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref>

=== External circumstances ===
Occasionally, films may underperform because of issues largely unrelated to the content of the film, such as the timing of the film's release. This was one of the reasons given for the commercial failure of ''[[Intolerance (film)|Intolerance]]'', [[D. W. Griffith|D. W. Griffith's]] follow-up to ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]''. Owing to production delays, the film was not released until late 1916, when the [[United States non-interventionism#20th century non-interventionism|widespread antiwar sentiment]] it reflected had started to shift in favor of [[American entry into World War I]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.filmsite.org/into.html|title=Intolerance (1916)|website=www.filmsite.org |access-date=November 7, 2017}}</ref> Another example is the 2015 docudrama about [[FIFA]] entitled ''[[United Passions]]''. A glowing portrayal of FIFA, which had mostly funded the film, ''United Passions'' was released in theaters in the United States at the same time [[2015 FIFA corruption case|FIFA's leaders were under investigation for fraud and corruption]]. The film grossed only $918 at the US box office in its opening weekend.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/2496658/fifa-film-united-passions-the-worst-in-us-history|title=FIFA film 'United Passions' one of worst in U.S. box office history|date=June 18, 2015|publisher=[[ESPN]]|access-date=June 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618160721/http://www.espnfc.com/fifa-world-cup/story/2496658/fifa-film-united-passions-the-worst-in-us-history|archive-date=June 18, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
Sometimes, a film's performance may be adversely affected by national crisis or a disaster, such as the [[September 11 attacks]] in 2001, [[Hurricane Harvey]] in 2017, and the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cinema|COVID-19 pandemic]] in 2020–2021.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://variety.com/2017/film/news/box-office-hitmans-bodyguard-annabelle-creation-mayweather-mcgregor-hurricane-harvey-1202539879/|title=Box Office Disaster: Lackluster Releases, Mayweather-McGregor, Hurricane Harvey Create Slowest Weekend in Over 15 Years|last=Kelley|first=Seth|date=August 27, 2017|work=Variety|access-date=November 9, 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.boxofficeguru.com/091701.htm |title=Weekend Box Office |publisher=Boxofficeguru.com |date=September 17, 2001 |access-date=December 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| last= Erlichman| first= Jon| date= March 13, 2020| title= Box office bomb: COVID-19's impact on the movie theatre business| url= https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/box-office-bomb-covid-19-s-impact-on-the-movie-theatre-business-1.1405416| work= [[BNN Bloomberg]]| access-date = March 17, 2020}}</ref>
=== High production costs ===
In evaluating box-office gross numbers, it is important to keep in mind that not all money is returned to the film studio. Some of the gross is kept by the film exhibitors and the film distributor. The scratch formula for making a rough estimate of a studio's portion of the gross is that the studio usually gets half.<ref name="Hornaday">{{cite news |last1=Hornaday |first1=Ann |title=We're awash in box-office statistics.

A large budget can cause a film to fail financially, even when it performs reasonably well at the box office; 1980's ''[[Heaven's Gate (film)|Heaven's Gate]]'', for example, exceeded its planned production schedule by three months,<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://www.filminquiry.com/the-production-of-heavens-gate/|title=Unmaking of an Epic – The Production of Heaven's Gate| website= filminquiry.com | first= Alexander |last= Miller| date= April 27, 2015 |access-date=November 7, 2017| df=dmy-all}}</ref> causing its budget to inflate from $12 million to $44 million.<ref>{{cite news|last=Burr|first=Ty|title=Ty Burr revisits 'Heaven's Gate'|date=November 24, 2012|newspaper=[[The Boston Globe]]|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2012/11/24/burr-revisits-heaven-gate/km6gp1cBbxY75qxWrFs6tM/story.html|access-date=January 13, 2020|archive-date=December 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181208124051/https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2012/11/24/burr-revisits-heaven-gate/km6gp1cBbxY75qxWrFs6tM/story.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The film only earned $3.5 million at the box office.<ref>{{cite web|title=Heaven's Gate (1980)|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=heavensgate.htm|website=[[Box Office Mojo]]|access-date=January 13, 2020}}</ref>
For the 2005 film ''[[Sahara (2005 film)|Sahara]]'', its budget ballooned to $281.2 million for production, distribution, and other expenses.<ref name="Sahara expenses LATimes" /> The film earned $119 million in theaters and $202.9 million overall with television and other subsidies included, resulting in a net loss of $78.3 million.<ref name="Sahara expenses LATimes">{{cite web|date= April 15, 2007|title= $78 million of red ink?|last=Bunting| first=Glenn F. |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]| url= https://articles.latimes.com/2007/apr/15/business/fi-movie15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140507124536/https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-movie15apr15-story.html |archive-date= May 7, 2014|url-status= live |access-date= January 13, 2020| df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| first= Glenn F. |last= Bunting| url= https://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/05/business/fi-cussler5 |title= Jurors hear tales of studio maneuvering| work= Los Angeles Times| date= March 5, 2007| publisher= | url-status= live| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090327110637/https://articles.latimes.com/2007/mar/05/business/fi-cussler5| archivedate= March 27, 2009| access-date= August 4, 2021| df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 2012, Disney reported losses of $200 million on ''[[John Carter (film)|John Carter]].''

The 2007 film ''[[The Golden Compass (film)|The Golden Compass]]'' had a production budget of $200 million. To be able to fund the film, [[New Line Cinema]] had to sell all of the film's international distribution rights to various film distributors around the world. The film underperformed domestically, but was an international success; however, New Line did not have a cut of the international box office. These events were major factors in New Line becoming a division of [[Warner Bros. Pictures]].<ref name=StudioBankruptingBombs>{{Cite web|url=https://www.universityfox.com/stories/failed-movies-that-singlehandedly-put-their-studios-out-of-business/|title=Failed Movies That Singlehandedly Put Their Studios Out of Business|website=University Fox|date=December 12, 2019|access-date=February 2, 2022|archive-date=May 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190509150910/https://www.universityfox.com/stories/failed-movies-that-singlehandedly-put-their-studios-out-of-business/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Studio failure ==
It is common for a single film's lackluster performance to push its studio into the red, in the sense of recording a net loss on its [[income statement]].

<p>Occasionally, films may underperform because of issues largely unrelated to the content of the film, such as the timing of the film's release. This was one of the reasons given for the commercial failure of <i><a href="/wiki/Intolerance_(film)" title="Intolerance (film)">Intolerance</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/D._W._Griffith" title="D. W. Griffith">D. W. Griffith's</a> follow-up to <i><a href="/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation" title="The Birth of a Nation">The Birth of a Nation</a></i>. Owing to production delays, the film was not released until late 1916, when the <a href="/wiki/United_States_non-interventionism#20th_century_non-interventionism" title="United States non-interventionism">widespread antiwar sentiment</a> it reflected had started to shift in favor of <a href="/wiki/American_entry_into_World_War_I" title="American entry into World War I">American entry into World War I</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> Another example is the 2015 docudrama about <a href="/wiki/FIFA" title="FIFA">FIFA</a> entitled <i><a href="/wiki/United_Passions" title="United Passions">United Passions</a></i>.
