John Carter was outstanding, it was the OG Science/Fantasy franchise, and its an amazing character story. Its a shame the marketing made the film look so dumb, which it did.
It is a good movie. But a good to great movie is not always a hit with audiences. Look at The Shawshank Redemption. It flopped on release but is now considered a masterpiece.
I noticed a majority of the action movies that came out back in 1999 were sci-fi action. I don't know how much of an impact that would have made on the movie, but I'd bet that if it came out two years prior it would be a classic.
The movie "John Carter" was a flop because the tittle is so uninteresting . If it was name John Carter from Mars or "the Princess of Mars" would have garner more audience. How many audience especially the younger generation know the character "John Carter. "
May I add that John Carter movie was great movie but the tittle is just too boring. Just like "warcraft" was a great title but a boring movie. ..but audience already paid for the movie "Warcraft" so Warcraft still make money or at least break even...my guessing only.
The book was 99 years but how many younger generation read the Edgar Rice Burrough novel. More over the book was title "A Princess of Mars". How many would actually remember that the movie John Carter, was referring to this novel?
"13th Warrior" and "John Carter" were great movies. "Stealth" started good and ended horribly. An airplane that has feelings. Dumb, dumb, dumb... "Lone Ranger" - a funny Disney movie where the bad guy eats someone's heart...um, no.
13th Warrior…Sort of mixed. I dont think its good, but has moments and isnt bad. Just average. John Carter i agree is quite good, not amazing but didnt deserve to bomb. I’ll admit i found Lone Ranger outright garbage though.
I've been reading ERB novels for way too many years and looked forward to this one. It's a pity they chopped it up so much but still, an enjoyable movie. The trouble with being a pioneer in genres is that you become a cliche of yourself. By the time this movie was released there were many other movies that had already referenced the style and as a result this one appeared to be a poor copy of it's own copiers. No matter, I still watch and enjoy it. If you get a chance, read the original series, along with the Lost World, the Pelucidar series, and the Tarzan series. You'll see where a lot of modern movies come from.
I agree, I was entertained and enjoy the whole experience. Never regret seeing this movie or admitting seeing this movie or even liking this movie. It was a good popcorn night.
Dread was a kick arse movie, but flopped at the box office due to the campiness of the 90's Stallone waste of a good license. The fact that it was advertised poorly was another huge factor. Dread is still one of my favorite comic book movies though.
Dread flopped at the box office, but the blu ray entered to history because it sold a lot, more than 20 million copies just in a few months after the home release
Because while it cost a fortune, it didnt flop too hard. Its gross recouped its budget/marketing, but it lost around $40m due to theatre cuts. So it was a flop but not a total bomb. For Costner his huge bomb was The Postman.
Ripd was great, and john carter was fantastic. As wm said, many things like star wars were based off that book, so of course it would feel derivitive. Its the foundation of todays sci fi. You have to view it as such.
I liked every single film on this list, even the Lone Ranger remake I was so worried about, and I actually saw a couple in the Cinema. I am sure these films made their $$$ elsewhere. These movies might be box office movies flops financially, but are not shitty films. Not our fault that clueless Hollywood doesn't understand who the audience is for some of these films.
The 13th Warrior is actually one of my favorite movies, I thought it was well made and had plenty of action, Plus I love Viking movies. I've rarely seen a movie where Hollywood actually makes money, it seems like 8 out of 10 movies they make, they claim they" lost money "on. I think Hollywood accountants are dodging the IRS.
@@goldwinger5434 A Very Late reply but I don't think any of Clive Cussler's books have been made into a good movie, the only other movie I can think of is 'Raise the Titanic' to which the producer Lew Grade said of the movie that it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic.
13th Warrior was amazing! Sahara was way better than some of the crapy movies that million of profit these days. John Carter to me is one of the best Sci Fi movie made by Hollywood i know. yah i liked all these 3 movies! so hang me!!
Yah thats the thing. luck plays some part in business too sometimes. thats what critics forget. i have seen shittier movies than these that boom at the box office!
I noticed that John Carter made its money back on its initial budget, but it was its marketing that caused the loss. So if they put less money into marketing, it wouldn't have been a flop.
For me it was surprising to see how R.I.P.D played out and how it really was considered a true flop but I honestly thought that alone Ranger was good enough to enjoy how Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp were able to acted out being John Reid and Tonto and how they'd have some fun moments while seeing how that story would go and thank god Justice League was able to have a great reception staying away from this list known that 2017 was the year for the DCEU to find more redemption and move on into a brighter future.
Renato, they both made fun of native americans. like native american ethnicity is a joke or something. Glad it flopped hard. when people you make fun of disagree LISTEN .
I never got the whitewashing argument. I remember a version of the movie "Annie" which had Jamie Fox as Daddy Warbucks. All the characters were black, including little Orphan Annie, who was portrayed in the comics as a redheaded, freckle-faced white girl. Why no outrage in that case? Why are black versions of white characters not criticised as well? Sounds like reverse racism to me.
Agree. John Carter was very much in the "HG Wells" genre category so probably didn't work for younger people. Stealth was just a fun movie and quite possibly a glimpse of the future as drones and AI seem destined to be the next big thing in military aviation. Neither deserved to be a flop.
I loved the 13th Warrior. Anyone who’s ever played a table top role playing game loved it. I’m surprised it cost so much to make as it had no special effects to speak of.
I liked the premise of the film, the characters and the basic plot, but the screenplay was a little lack luster. It could have been handled way better than it was.
Looper isn't going to talk about a movie starring a woman. LOL. That should be obvious. In fact, they probably specifically found something else so they wouldn't have to put it in there. Look at Ghostbusters. That was a HUGE bomb but because it was an all woman cast, it's probably great in their eyes.
Console MonsterX Ghosbuster 2016 grossed 229+ millions WW for a 144 millions budget so it may not be a success but it does not deserve to be on that list. As for catwoman it made 80 millions WW out of an 100millions budget witch is also bad but not worthy of being on this list. You should check your facts before venting.
Sure buddy. I would bet money that you think Hillary would've been a good president too. Instead, we have the president this country needs. Facts are facts. Catwoman and Ghostbusters BOMBED. They were terrible movies. This is the most expensive movie flops. Ghostbusters lost about $76,000,000. But, they had John Carter on here which lost $65,000,000. So, they have a movie on this list that lost less money than Cuntbusters. Fact, you just got proven wrong. Maybe you should do some research next time. That way you won't seem like a libtard propaganda channel defending idiot.
Console MonsterX How do you know ghostbuster lost 76millions? They never disclosed the promotion cost. So unless you have sources I can't take your infos seriously.
I think it was not done too fast. If you look at the Justice League animated movies, they were done well, and there was not even any back-story to the characters. It just puts them all together in one movie, and says, "this is how they all got together". So imo what happened was, just some bad writing for a story. Because again, even the origins of animated Justice League going up against Darkseid right away, made for an awesome story, the way that the animated movies were done.
100 $ million loss? How can anyone sleep at night. Every time you see that movie on the shelves or somebody mentions it you throw up cause of the losses.
The 13th warrior failed because they changed the title from the book - the book was called “eaters of the dead”, had they named it that it would have done much better.
John Carter and The Lone Ranger Are actually Good!. Those are trilogies should bees. That I wish more people would look forward to instead of reboots and superhero movies every year.
I bought the Bluray, and have watched it at regular intervals. I loved it in the theater, and still love it at home on my big screen. There's always something beautiful about the film to appreciate, something new you notice, some allusion, and then references where you see where more recent films (*cough*starwars*cough*) got their influence.
I do remember my one complaint being that the whole moon jumping thing didn't make sense. Did they explain why john can jump so high when the martians can't?
its not explained as such (nor is it really in the books). It's attributed to "something to do with the density of his bones". basically, it's based off Edgar Rice Burrough's lack of real scientific understanding of the topic. So we accept it as part of the world that he created. Martians can't jump, John Carter can. *shrug*
Ostensor Mortem21 In this sense, John Carter shares yet another thing with Star Wars, in that they are both somewhere between fantasy and science fiction. That's probably why I was unable to enjoy The Expanse; I was feeling down in the dumps, and a grim, gritty drama full of cynical characters wasn't doing me any favors. If hard science means I get more depressed, I'll take inaccurate, lighthearted fantasy. The Expanse will be available somewhere when I'm ready to watch it.
John Carter was actually a very good movie. The problem was the trailer. The trailer for the movie wasn’t clear. It left people wondering what the movie was about. I was one of those people. Who going to pay $15 on guessing what a movie’s about? I waited until it came out on DVD to see it and was pleased. I read that it made up on it’s theater losses with its returns on streaming & DVD. The ending was a really good surprise and I would like to see a part 2.
The marketing and the name of the movie itself helped it fail. I could see it being a hit by calling it what it was "A Princess from Mars" As a movie though...I loved it.
I absolutely loved the 13th Warrior. I saw it 6 times in the theaters and I own it on DVD. I even got my nephew to love it too. Even if no one else likes that movie, I still watch it all the time. That just means more Antonio Banderis and Vikings for me. ^_^
Agreed, I kind of like RIPD. It was basically the Men in Black but in the afterlight. I was hoping it would have gotten a sequel, but it doesn't look like that to be the case Anymore.
I thought John Carter was an unfortunate flop, because it was really good. Same with the similar Disney film "Prince of Persia". I like Disney's live-action adventure movies like "Swiss Family Robinson" and "20,000 Leagues". At least the Pirates movies took off, but I only really like the first of the series, and even that one had a ridiculous battle-opera at the end that nearly ruins the movie. ...okay, "Lone Ranger"... I stand corrected. That movie was miserable.
2:03, Correction, the pilots in Stealth were Navy pilots. To quote their Commanding Officer, “You are pilots of the U.S. Navy, I expect nothing less than perfection!”
I wouldn't call it really good. I saw it while I was in the hospital. It was entertaining, and yes, worth a watch, but I probably woulodn't by it unless I was really board. Just my opinion.
listening to jeff bridges talking like a stroke victim was annoying af. I liked the movie. Don't go into it thinking it will give you the meaning of life. I sat and watched it with a big tub of popcorn and a Cpl of beers.... enjoyed it!
'Heaven's Gate' was the most costly flop in that it brought an end to directors having control over movies. The fact that it brought down an entire studio scared other studios and now directors have no control over casting, editing, trailers, etc. Scripts are basically written by producers.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sahara and have watched it many times. I've read maybe 30 Clive Cussler books and it's a shame only this and Raise the Titanic have been made into movies. 13th Warrior is good too, but I had no idea it cost sooo much. Are the quoted costs adjusted for inflation cos that was like 20 years ago too.

Looper Heavens gate.
Including the number of horses, that died for it.

Treasure island. The film that flopped so hard it brought down a film company.
Looper Power Rangers
I rather liked John Carter - but clearly not enough people agreed with me to make it pay for itself.
John Carter and the 13th warrior were quite good tbh
Restricted videos
The sad thing is that The 13th Warrior, Stealth, Sahara, John Carter, R.I.PD., and The Lone Ranger are all great films.
What was wrong with those films? Was it because of the lack of A listers?
@@bessarion1771 Exactly!!!
You have terrible taste
@LastDropFalls. Your remarks are proof that everyone has both an opinion and and asshole. Unfortunately, yours seem to smell exactly alike. Lol
So many films these days are just crappy cgi with lots of action thrown in. And people call those "great" films.
Kind of sucks about the 13th warrior. Its a classic in my home, love that movie to this day
I like 13th Warrior also.
Lilly Sqeet I feel you on that such an underrated movie
i know could not believe it cost that much though
"You notice he's bigger than you?"
"Yes."
"And younger."
"Yes. - Bet on him, if you like."
"I may!"
13th Warrior is my go to movie if nothing else is on.
Make a video other way around.
Like small budget but massive financial success.
Like "Who Killed Captain Alex?"? It is more entertaining than most hollywood movies recently

How about PARANORMAL ACTIVITY... 15000 dollar budget... 100,000,000 never Have to work again bucks...

@@waltsears 🤔, not enough cow bell?
The 13th warrior was awesome.
I liked it
Indeed...I thought it was a rather well done movie. Then again...some movies don't do big when they come out but earn a following much later.
Brilliant movie,
I concur. The movie really captured the spirit of the Norseman like no other, and Antonio Banderas was great as the interloper.
Radiant Mind think I will watch it tomorrow
The 13th Warrior is one of my favorite movies!
It is a good movie. But a good to great movie is not always a hit with audiences. Look at The Shawshank Redemption. It flopped on release but is now considered a masterpiece.
Yup. I probably watched it more than 13th times already.

13th Warrior was a legendary and John Carter was what Sci Fi films should aspire to be.

angelofmusic477: I agree, the bad title was the main factor, it was a great movie and I was hoping for the secuel.
I agree. It was said that they dropped the "of Mars" to avoid association with "Mars Needs Moms." Boy was that ever a bad decision.
angelofmusic477 Younger audience? Dude that book was 99 years old when the movie came out.
The book was 99 years but how many younger generation read the Edgar Rice Burrough novel. More over the book was title "A Princess of Mars". How many would actually remember that the movie John Carter, was referring to this novel?
13th Warrior must have done pretty well on DVD/cable because everyone I know has seen it. I definitely saw it well after its release.
The 13th Warrior was a great film.

I liked 13th warrior
I liked John Carter

I don't understand why John Carter was a flop, it was good. was hoping there would be sequels, still hope.
Same her I have seen almost all of these films.
No ur not
I liked Stealth.
John Carter was actually a decent movie, it was just made at the wrong time. Star Wars already ripped it off 40 years earlier.
"13th Warrior" and "John Carter" were great movies.
"Stealth" started good and ended horribly. An airplane that has feelings. Dumb, dumb, dumb...
"Lone Ranger" - a funny Disney movie where the bad guy eats someone's heart...um, no.
13th warrior and john carter were indeed great, it's a shame so few people saw them. The others I don't know nor care to.
13th Warrior…Sort of mixed. I dont think its good, but has moments and isnt bad. Just average. John Carter i agree is quite good, not amazing but didnt deserve to bomb. I’ll admit i found Lone Ranger outright garbage though.
Trust me, John Carter is a good movie. I have never gotten bored watching the movie.
Blood BRS no its not. Its not the worst but its not great
disney just did an awful job marketing it
Im with you man Too bad they didn't focus on marketing it. John Carter is my top 10 all times best movies.
Ya, was really looking forward to a sequel, loved the idea
azizul hakim U idiot. Disney marketed the hell out of John Carter. It was front and centre everywhere all the time!
I feel like calling John Carter “derivative” is like saying that Shakespeare is full of cliches

Me too.

13th Warrior, Sarhara, John Carter were all great fun imo. I loved all 3.
Liked John Carter and the Lone Ranger.
The 13th warrior failed because they changed the title from the book - the book was called “eaters of the dead”, had they named it that it would have done much better.
I liked the 13th warrior
Added to my watch list👍🏾
13th Warrior's a great movie. Oh well.
I still totally LOVE The 13th Warrior though I didn't know it was in theatres and found it on DVD rental as a teenager.
I thought John Carter was a good movie
Hey Looper guys i love your background soundtrack!
John Carter and The Lone Ranger Are actually Good!. Those are trilogies should bees. That I wish more people would look forward to instead of reboots and superhero movies every year.
The 13th Warrior is terrific; one of my favorite movies. People don't know good when they see it.
I still think John carter was underrated. I mean it has been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember it being bad by any means.
I bought the Bluray, and have watched it at regular intervals. I loved it in the theater, and still love it at home on my big screen. There's always something beautiful about the film to appreciate, something new you notice, some allusion, and then references where you see where more recent films (*cough*starwars*cough*) got their influence.
I do remember my one complaint being that the whole moon jumping thing didn't make sense. Did they explain why john can jump so high when the martians can't?
its not explained as such (nor is it really in the books). It's attributed to "something to do with the density of his bones". basically, it's based off Edgar Rice Burrough's lack of real scientific understanding of the topic. So we accept it as part of the world that he created. Martians can't jump, John Carter can. *shrug*
Ehh, not movie ruining, just curious.

In this sense, John Carter shares yet another thing with Star Wars, in that they are both somewhere between fantasy and science fiction.
That's probably why I was unable to enjoy The Expanse; I was feeling down in the dumps, and a grim, gritty drama full of cynical characters wasn't doing me any favors. If hard science means I get more depressed, I'll take inaccurate, lighthearted fantasy. The Expanse will be available somewhere when I'm ready to watch it.
"The Lone Ranger" was an incoherent mess. It had no consistant tone and was really more about Depps Tonto than the Ranger himself.
I liked when he rode Silver on the rooftops and the theme was playing.
John Carter was actually a very good movie. The problem was the trailer. The trailer for the movie wasn’t clear. It left people wondering what the movie was about. I was one of those people. Who going to pay $15 on guessing what a movie’s about? I waited until it came out on DVD to see it and was pleased. I read that it made up on it’s theater losses with its returns on streaming & DVD. The ending was a really good surprise and I would like to see a part 2.
The marketing and the name of the movie itself helped it fail. I could see it being a hit by calling it what it was "A Princess from Mars" As a movie though...I loved it.
Movie flops don't mean bad movies. Sometimes movie hits are so shitty that you wonder how the public can love such turds
Stealth was about Navy pilots. Not Air Force pilots.
No one cares
@@matht-m9e The Air Force cares.
The 13th Worrier was great, John Carter wasn't bad either. These movies were a hell of a lot better than the shit they make now.
Sahara was amazing.
Sorry I don't speak English.
But you are speaking English now.
RIPD was hilarious. Loved it. Jeff Bridges was amazing.
13th warrior was an AWESOME movie......still remember when the first wave of enemy soldiers showed up.
I absolutely loved the 13th Warrior. I saw it 6 times in the theaters and I own it on DVD. I even got my nephew to love it too.
Even if no one else likes that movie, I still watch it all the time. That just means more Antonio Banderis and Vikings for me. ^_^
The 13th Warrior was epic
I really love John Carter as a teenager and I still love it❤
I really enjoyed RIPD, I didn’t think it was that bad. X
Agreed, I kind of like RIPD. It was basically the Men in Black but in the afterlight. I was hoping it would have gotten a sequel, but it doesn't look like that to be the case Anymore.
Lone Ranger? I love that movie !! Especially the final train scene, it was epic !!
Looper always picking on John Carter.
John Carter, R.I.P., and The Lone Ranger were great movies.
Need to add Solo to this list now
I thought John Carter was an unfortunate flop, because it was really good. Same with the similar Disney film "Prince of Persia". I like Disney's live-action adventure movies like "Swiss Family Robinson" and "20,000 Leagues". At least the Pirates movies took off, but I only really like the first of the series, and even that one had a ridiculous battle-opera at the end that nearly ruins the movie. ...okay, "Lone Ranger"... I stand corrected. That movie was miserable.
I don’t care but I Love John Carter
John Carter very underrated. Good flick.
WHAT? I really like RIPD, what is wrong with the movie? Even my father likes it.
Let's be honest, it should have been a blockbuster with a sequel but something is off with the delivered products.
2:03, Correction, the pilots in Stealth were Navy pilots. To quote their Commanding Officer, “You are pilots of the U.S. Navy, I expect nothing less than perfection!”
I have R.I.P.D. but haven't watched is it any good?
I really enjoyed it, unless your'e a hardcore movie critic, you'll probably like it
it's pretty good
I wouldn't call it really good. I saw it while I was in the hospital. It was entertaining, and yes, worth a watch, but I probably woulodn't by it unless I was really board. Just my opinion.
so many grammar mistakes....and no one called it really good
listening to jeff bridges talking like a stroke victim was annoying af. I liked the movie. Don't go into it thinking it will give you the meaning of life. I sat and watched it with a big tub of popcorn and a Cpl of beers.... enjoyed it!
'Heaven's Gate' was the most costly flop in that it brought an end to directors having control over movies. The fact that it brought down an entire studio scared other studios and now directors have no control over casting, editing, trailers, etc. Scripts are basically written by producers.
Love " 13 warriors " , love " John Carter " and the rest is 😨 not cool.
I thoroughly enjoyed Sahara and have watched it many times. I've read maybe 30 Clive Cussler books and it's a shame only this and Raise the Titanic have been made into movies. 13th Warrior is good too, but I had no idea it cost sooo much. Are the quoted costs adjusted for inflation cos that was like 20 years ago too.
