Biggest bomb of 2018

[Valonqar]

I can't imagine Annihilation to be expensive. It may not make money but hardly a bomb of the year. I bet that PR:U and RP1 are super expensive despite looking like shit. Probably 200M+ each like that other bomb Assassin's Creed.

You could vote for all of them, so I voted for all of them

I'd bet RPO does 250-300 WW. I'm sure it cost at least 150m, if not closer to 200. Tomb Raider only cost 80m and at least 200m WW should be locked. WiT could be a bit of a bomb if Disney went crazy on the budget and it cost 200m or something, which is possible since it's them. But I think it makes around 400 WW. 

WiT costs $103M. So it would need like $300M to break even...I think, I don’t know what the marketing budget will be.

alright voting seriously.  haven't heard of "Anhilation," "Mowgili," or "Atlita Battle Angel," so I disqualified those.  out of the remaining options, I'm thinking The Meg.

[IronJimbo]

The biggest bomb will be Alita for sure, just like the Mahatten project it will be a secret until BOOOM, nuclear fallout will infect the rest of blockbusters, forcing them to step it up or be turned into dust in a monumental flash.

I think RPO might underperform but I don't think it'll bomb. It's probably got the best slot of all the March releases and there's minimal competition until Rampage. 

[weresweresweres]

I would add to this list Dark Phoenix, China will don't understand this cosmic force, and x-men franchise is slowly dying in usa, new cast can't act so i think it will be a flop.

[RandomCat]

Solo will be the biggest bomb. Since doesn't matter how much it makes...it'll be a bomb.

[Valonqar]

Mowgli is a good bet for big floppage. Coming after the Jungle Book is a bad thing (people had their jungle fix, comparisons will not be in Mowgli favor considering praises heaped on JB), titled after the least interesting character in the movie is like changing Princess of Mars into John Carter (Mowgli is just a plot device that enables talking animals to go on an adventure and shine, they are more iconic than he). Bomb. 

[TombRaider]

Predator, meg and alitas de pollo

[Macleod]

 

JJJ wouldn't have much time for any of these movies. 

 

Except for Venom. 

 

He'd say: "Is this dude in the black goo the same fraud I hired that couldn't even take a photo?  My biggest regret."

[marveldcfox]

The movie that should be on the list is not there...RPO.

 

 

[Ryan Reynolds]

Ready Player One

Robin Hood

Wrinkle In Time

[Captain Craig]

Higher Budget means these are most likely to hit consensus FLOP standards

Alita for certain (my vote)

Pacific Rim 2 should be on this list. Massive flop inbound

Wrinkle in Time, all hype low turnout is going to happen. Overseas might dampen it's losses

 

Tomb Raider, due to it's lower budget I think will do more of a break even situation

Venom, enough CBM fans will turn out to keep it from being a flop. Possible Underperformer territory is likely depending on future trailers.

Yeah, I definitely don't see it bombing then. Should be good for at least 150 DOM and 150 OS. 

 

RPO may get my vote after that newest trailer. Unless China is there for it, I don't think the rest of the world will be.

THE LAST JEDI.

 

Since most of its short and pathetic run was in 2018 - and it's also the biggest sequel failure ever.

[TalismanRing]

Reported budgets as of now

 

Alita: $200m

Pacific Rim 2: $150m

The Meg: $150m

Wrinkle In Time: $103m

 

No numbers available yet but Ready Player One and Mowgli (which has been in post forever) are probably WB's usual $175-190m .  Tomb Raider is also WB so probably not that inexpensive. Shane Black said he only agreed to do Predator if it was made as a spectacle - so again not inexpensive.

[DAJK]

Black Panther

 

That thing is currently BLOWING UP. It's not just a bomb. It's a fucking nuclear warhead about to obliterate the box office
