00:00How dare you? Don't listen to her!
00:01Don't you listen to him!
00:02Welcome to Watch Mojo Español.
00:05I'm Jackie and today we'll make a list of the movies that disappointed us the most in the box office during the last 10 years.
00:12Maybe not all of them are bad, but all of them were a financial failure.
00:17Yeah, that must be it.
00:18I knew you'd believe me.
00:21Number 30, Joker Folly Ado.
00:24Given the huge success of Joker in 2019, we don't blame the filmmakers or the studio for thinking that the sequel also had potential in the box office.
00:34Maybe I could talk to Joker about it.
00:38Would he like to talk to me?
00:40But it wasn't like that.
00:41In fact, the movie raised a little more than its estimated production budget of 200 million dollars, not counting the marketing.
00:50The projections indicate that the studio lost between 125 and 200 million dollars in the end.
00:56Folly Ado translates as Madness of Two, a delirious shared disorder, like the one of those who thought that a dark musical about the Joker was a good idea.
01:06In the end, the truth turned out to be very different.
01:10You don't know what it's like, baby, you don't know what it's like.
01:19Number 29, Hellboy.
01:21After Guillermo del Toro was not granted absolute power as screenwriter and director, and Ron Perlman refused to return to his role without him, what was supposed to be a sequel became a reboot.
01:34Hellboy.
01:36No, it's Josh.
01:38People confuse us all the time.
01:41Come on, we gotta go.
01:43It also became a failure.
01:45To be fair, we can't be sure that if Del Toro and Perlman had returned, the movie would have been a success.
01:52Although we can be sure that without them, it only earned 55 million dollars, with a budget of 50 million.
02:00Welcome back to the land of the living.
02:05Hardly a scratch left.
02:08It also got a disappointing 17% in Rotten Tomatoes, and the second place in the list of Digital Spy of the biggest cinematographic failures of 2019.
02:20Number 28, Mulan.
02:22Disney has obtained good numbers in the box office with the new live-action versions of its classic animated films, and no one thought that Mulan would be different.
02:33Yes.
02:37It is best.
02:40I will bring honor to us all.
02:42After its premiere in March 2020, it seemed ready to take home a lot of money in the box office at the end of the month.
02:50But then COVID-19 came and everything changed.
02:53Instead of a great boost in the cinemas, it premiered at Disney Plus Premier Access, and only in cinemas in countries without Disney Plus.
03:01In terms of economy, the film raised about 70 million dollars in cinemas, and between 62 and 93 million in premium VOD.
03:11We will live.
03:15I guarantee it.
03:18Because I will protect you.
03:20We'll protect each other.
03:23We'll fight for each other.
03:24At best, that's about 160 million dollars, which is not good for a budget of 200 million.
03:33Number 27, The Goldfinch.
03:36When Warner Bros. bought the rights to the winning novel of the Pulitzer Prize from Donna Trott in 2014, they thought they had a success in their hands,
03:45or at least an emotional and reflective drama that would bring some nominations to the Oscar awards.
04:01Well, if that's what they thought, they were wrong.
04:05The film not only received a fierce criticism, but the public was not interested either.
04:10It took home about 10 million dollars in box office.
04:15The estimated losses for the studio were around 50 million.
04:19We're so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that in the end, we become disguised to ourselves.
04:29And worst of all, Tartt hated the movie so much that he fired his agent and said he would never sell the rights to anything he wrote in the future.
04:38Number 26, Haunted Mansion.
04:42Haunted Mansion, from 2023, was the second time Disney made a movie based on its theme park attraction of the same name.
04:56One thing that they have in common with the 2003 version is that they both displeased the critics,
05:02with scores of 38% and 13% in Rotten Tomatoes, respectively.
05:09However, while the first one was a moderate success in box office, the 2023 one was a total failure.
05:15We're talking about 117 million dollars with a production budget of 150 million.
05:21Taking into account all the expenses, Disney's losses with the movie have been estimated at almost 120 million dollars.
05:29That's scary.
05:31Number 25, Wonder Woman 1984.
05:38After the incredible success of Wonder Woman in 2017, the prospects were excellent for the sequel to be another great success.
05:47But it wasn't like that, or at least not in the same way.
05:50And that was because of COVID.
05:54Wonder Woman 1984 was another cinematographic victim of the pandemic.
06:00The movie delayed its premiere several times before finally premiering in December 2020.
06:06However, with so many movies closed, it didn't get close to the numbers of the first installment,
06:11despite the less favorable reviews.
06:13In the end, it raised about 170 million dollars with a budget of 200 million.
06:21Ironically, it also premiered on HBO Max at the same time,
06:25and it was the most watched movie on streaming in 2020.
06:30Number 24, Robin Hood.
06:32The story of Robin Hood has been taken to the movies many times over the years,
06:36but it seems that Mr. Hood has been losing popularity in the last three decades.
06:42We've got unfinished business.
06:43No, no business. You tried to kill me.
06:46I stowed away for three months on your ship. I could have killed you then if I wanted to.
06:50Not why I'm here.
06:52You see, Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, by Kevin Costner, raised 390 million dollars in 1991.
07:00Then in 2010, Robin Hood, by Russell Crowe, raised 321 million.
07:07Eight years later, Taron Egerton assumed the role of Robin Hood
07:11and raised only 86 million dollars with a budget of 100 million.
07:16Taking into account all the expenses, it is estimated that Robin Hood of 2018
07:20has cost the studio about 83 million dollars.
07:24I hope now that you're back, I get to see a lot more of you.
07:28As much as you'll allow, sir.
07:30I hope to earn your favor.
07:32There has to be a moral about the rich, right?
07:36Number 23, A Wrinkle in Time.
07:38After the success of Selma in 2014, the director, Ava DuVernay,
07:43became a highly sought-after product in Hollywood.
07:46The talented filmmaker used this acquired influence
07:49to get more than 100 million dollars for A Wrinkle in Time in 2018.
07:55You need to get up, get out, get something. How will you make it if you never even try?
08:00Based on a beloved science fiction novel,
08:03and with big stars like Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon on board,
08:07there were a lot of expectations.
08:09You should talk to them.
08:11Everyone knows that flowers are the best gossipers in the entire universe.
08:16You should show them a picture of your father and ask them if they've seen him.
08:21How will we understand each other?
08:27At least try.
08:29Unfortunately, what they got was a not-so-good score of 42% on Rotten Tomatoes,
08:34a collection in the box office of only 133 million dollars,
08:38and losses estimated at the amazing figure of 130 million.
08:44Number 22, King Arthur Legend of the Sword.
08:48It was supposed that King Arthur Legend of the Sword by Guy Ritchie
08:52was going to be the first of a six-movie franchise.
08:59King Arthur Legend of the Sword
09:04If you want to know when the next five entries will be released, forget it.
09:09After this first one failed so miserably,
09:12the studios put an end to the future of the franchise.
09:15The film only raised about 148 million dollars in box office,
09:20which is not very good for the beginning of a saga.
09:29It's even worse if you know that 175 million dollars were spent to make it,
09:34and even more to commercialize it.
09:37In the end, the studios faced 150 million dollars in losses.
09:42Number 21, Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
09:46Shazam! from 2019 probably surprised a lot of people with its score
09:51of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and its 367 million dollars in box office,
09:58What was not a surprise was that Warner Bros. started planning a sequel
10:02as soon as the release became a success.
10:21But unfortunately the sequel was not up to the first film
10:26neither in quality nor in box office.
10:28Shazam! Fury of the Gods has a score of 49% on Rotten Tomatoes
10:33and its box office was quite mediocre for more than 134 million dollars.
10:40Only the production budget was between 110 and 125 million dollars.
10:46The studio definitely did not get any benefit from this film.
10:56Perfect. We'll take them all.
11:00No, it's not why we're here.
11:02Number 20, Black Adam.
11:05There's no one on this planet that can stop me.
11:07I can call in a favor and send people who aren't from this planet.
11:13Send them all.
11:14That one of the biggest stars in the world plays a DC superhero
11:19does not guarantee a success of a billion dollars.
11:22Black Adam did not collect 400 million dollars
11:25which would have been a good result for a film that cost 100 million dollars.
11:30However, the original budget was 190 million dollars
11:34which skyrocketed to 260 million dollars after the new recordings.
11:39Taking into account its commercialization,
11:41numerous media considered the film a failure.
11:46The star, Dwayne Johnson, argued the opposite
11:50although the figures he pointed out were questionable.
11:52Even if there was a way to make it profitable,
11:55Black Adam was far from being the innovation that was supposed to revitalize the DCEU.
12:01Despite Johnson's initial statements that Black Adam would fight Superman,
12:07James Gunn seems to have other plans.
12:10It's been a while since anyone's made the world this nervous.
12:20Black Adam.
12:22We should talk.
12:23Number 19 of 3-5-5
12:26Please put the guns down.
12:27No, but listen to her.
12:28And by all means, do.
12:29Eight.
12:30Seven.
12:31We all want the same thing here.
12:32No, we don't.
12:33Six.
12:34Please.
12:35Five.
12:36Four.
12:37Three.
12:38Two.
12:39One!
12:40We are not going to act as if COVID had not influenced more than one recent failure.
12:43The increase of cases of Omicron did not do any favor to this work of espionage.
12:49However, given the mediocre reviews, we are not convinced that The 3-5-5
12:53would have been a hit in the box office or even in a pre-pandemic world.
12:58As much as we like Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz and the rest of the cast,
13:03there is not much they can do with a forgettable script and a director who, frankly, is better as a producer.
13:19I'll take it from here.
13:21However, Universal trusted enough in the film to pay $20 million in Cannes.
13:27The 3-5-5 earned about $7.8 million more than its distribution rights,
13:33with a budget of between $40 and $75 million.
13:37Number 18.
13:38Amsterdam.
13:40Who knows, maybe I'll find a new life and a new love.
13:44I hope so.
13:46Because when it comes to love, there's nothing quite so good as clarity.
13:50I agree.
13:51Amsterdam proved two things.
13:53The power of the stars is no longer what it was before, and neither is the director David O. Russell.
13:59After a long break, it returned with this introspective story full of stars,
14:04mystery comedy, period film, which is also a political thriller.
14:10Yes, you can say from this description that Amsterdam does not know what it wants to be.
14:16As the film cannot choose a tone, the actors struggle to unbury any chemistry.
14:30Too ambitious for its own good, Amsterdam may have needed a critical impulse,
14:36but as expected, the opinions were not so indulgent.
14:41With a cost of $80 million in production and an estimated $70 million in promotion,
14:46it had a disastrous weekend of release of $6.5 million,
14:51with a final worldwide collection of $31.2 million.
14:56Number 17.
14:57The Last Duel.
14:59With a price of $100 million, this film obtained better reviews than other aspirants to the awards season.
15:07But even if COVID-19 had been eliminated from the equation, it would have been difficult to sell.
15:22In addition to the uncomfortable theme, the film lasts two and a half hours,
15:26which limits the number of possible screenings and excludes those who do not like long productions.
15:32With older demographic groups still undecided about the return to the cinemas,
15:36Ridley Scott's most recent historical epic was released with $10.9 million,
15:42and finally raised that amount about three times.
15:47Lady, upon your evidence, I hazard my life in combat with Jacques Legree.
15:54You know my cause is just and true.
15:57Scott blamed the Millennials, who, according to him,
16:00do not want to be taught anything unless it is by the cell phone.
16:04We would love to see Scott's remake on TikTok for the younger audience.
16:09Number 16.
16:10West Side Story.
16:13Unlike The Last Duel, this film at least managed to win the Academy Award.
16:31However, in terms of box office, the effects of the pandemic were felt once again.
16:36In December 2021, the public began to return to the cinemas,
16:40although most went to see Spider-Man No Way Home.
16:44West Side Story could have been an alternative for the general public,
16:48although this demographic group continued to avoid the cinemas with the increase of the Omicron variant.
16:55How do you fire it?
16:57It's police.
17:02How many bullets are left?
17:06Enough for you?
17:07It did not help that there was already another adaptation of the musical classic,
17:11which led many to question whether a new version was necessary.
17:15Steven Spielberg has not lost his touch as director,
17:19but with a collection of $76 million compared to $100 million,
17:24his time as king of the box office may have ended.
17:28Number 15.
17:29Dark Phoenix.
17:30Although the previous X-Men films had unequal reviews,
17:34they all achieved financial success.
17:36So when Fox gave Dark Phoenix a green light,
17:40it seemed like another guaranteed box office hit.
17:47Unfortunately, the film faced an unexpected storm of obstacles,
17:52which at first was going to be a two-part delivery,
17:54suddenly had to be compressed into one.
18:03New shots were ordered due to the projections of negative evidence,
18:07and apparently adjustments were also made to avoid comparison with an MCU film.
18:12Meanwhile, Disney was in the middle of acquiring Fox,
18:16which was blamed for part of the bad marketing of the film.
18:20The horrible reviews were the last nail in the coffin of Dark Phoenix,
18:24which raised approximately $250 million with a budget of $200 million.
18:30According to reports, it lost $100 million in total,
18:34until New Mutants arrived,
18:36and raised only $49 million in the box office.
18:41It was the X-Men film with the least amount of revenue.
18:50Number 14. Fantastic Four.
18:52A couple of years before Disney arrived with $71 million to spend,
18:57Fox made one last effort to show that they could make a decent movie of the four Fantastic Four.
19:10Did the public receive Fox's brave version of the colorful team of superheroes well?
19:16Well, at the end of its first weekend, it was second in the national box office,
19:21behind Mission Impossible Rogue Nation,
19:24which had been in the box office for more than a week.
19:27In North America, it raised $56.1 million,
19:31which is approximately what its predecessor won in 2005,
19:35only on its first weekend.
19:38Gotta say, it's fantastic.
19:41With a total of $167.9 million,
19:45it lost almost $100 million with a budget of no less than $120 million.
19:50Let's assume that its loss was the gain of the MCU.
19:55Enough!
19:56When your world is destroyed, and I'm all that's left,
20:00then it will be enough.
20:03Number 13. Monster Trucks.
20:05A movie about monster trucks, which are literally monsters that live inside trucks,
20:10doesn't shout exactly guaranteed success.
20:13However, let's assume that the idea offers some possibilities to sell merchandise.
20:26Perhaps this could have generated a respectable profit,
20:29with a modest budget of $25 million.
20:34The imprudent studio decided to invest $125 million in Monster Trucks.
20:43Let's assume that one of the studio bosses thought
20:46that this was going to be the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
20:50However, while Ninja Turtles won a fan base with comics, toys and a cartoon,
20:56Monster Trucks launched at full speed without any experience behind the wheel.
21:02With a collection of $64.5 million worldwide,
21:06what was intended was to boost a franchise, but instead lost about $123 million.
21:19Number 12. Justice League.
21:32After Marvel beat records with The Avengers, DC seemed destined to do the same.
21:38However, while the MCU took its time to establish its heroes,
21:43the DCEU accelerated things to catch up.
21:46In total, they produced 5 movies, and not all of them were that good.
21:53As if that weren't enough for the viewers to be skeptical,
21:57Zack Snyder left during post-production due to a family tragedy,
22:01and Joss Whedon took his place.
22:04When Justice League arrived at theaters, it was as inconsistent and rushed as people expected.
22:11So, how do I help?
22:12We buy him some time, he can stop Death Box from destroying all life on Earth.
22:17We hope.
22:18Well, I knew you didn't bring me back because you liked me.
22:21I don't... not.
22:23His $658 million would have been acceptable for a mid-level superhero movie,
22:30but for a $300 million super production, it didn't reach the equilibrium point.
22:35At least Snyder was able to finish his version, although measuring its profitability is complicated.
22:44Number 11 from BFG
22:46In theory, BFG seemed too big to fail.
22:54It was distributed by Disney, it was based on a good book by the literary legend Roald Dahl,
23:00and it marked the return of director Steven Spielberg to family entertainment.
23:06NUMBER 12
23:16Unlike other movies on the list, this one had mostly positive reviews.
23:21However, for some reason, more people went to see The Purge Election Year
23:25and The Legend of Tarzan during the weekend of July 4th.
23:36With a collection of just over $55 million in North America and $183.3 million in total,
23:44this installment obtained much lower earnings than expected.
23:48Like Willy Wonka, it could one day become a cult classic,
23:53but it is likely that it will not recover its $140 million budget in the near future.
24:06NUMBER 10
24:21People like Spider-Man, people like Star Wars,
24:25and believe us that they still like the dystopian adaptations of youth literature.
24:31Let's put them all together and let the money flow.
24:34I wish the formula for success was that simple.
24:37Even before the pandemic delayed most high-budget movies,
24:41Chaos Walking was already in the limbo of premieres,
24:45as the bad test projections and new recordings augured its doom.
24:50When it was finally released in February 2021,
24:54four years after the main photography sessions began,
24:58it seemed that it had been left to drift in an ice cap.
25:04We thought we could protect you.
25:08That's not protecting me, that's lying to me.
25:10I'm sorry.
25:11Let me protect you now.
25:12No one expected it to survive the cold and critical reception,
25:16with a collection of $27.1 million versus at least $100 million.
25:23The studio could only console itself with one thing,
25:26the all-powerful amortization.
25:29NUMBER 9
25:34Sam!
25:36I'll kill you!
25:37I'll kill you!
25:38Taking into account that Terminator 2 was the most box office movie of 1991,
25:43we understand why Hollywood wanted to recover that magic.
25:47However, after Rise of the Machines, Salvation and Genesis,
25:51the studios must have learned in 2019 that this was never going to happen.
25:57Despite everything, they made another attempt with Dark Fate,
26:01which marked the return of Linda Hamilton and James Cameron,
26:04although not as a director.
26:06It was better received than other sequels,
26:08but it repeated most of the plot points,
26:11which were already very truncated,
26:13and added several new questionable ideas.
26:17Once, I saved three billion lives,
26:22but I couldn't save my son.
26:26A machine took him from me.
26:28The budget of almost $200 million was not enough,
26:32and as is known, the studios lost $122.6 million.
26:37If you think this is the end, Cameron says that a reboot is under discussion.
26:42NUMBER 8
26:43Lightyear
26:44Initiate hyperlapse.
26:47Certainly.
26:49All right, space rangers, here we go.
26:52To infinity...
26:55and beyond.
26:56How could a Toy Story movie be a failure?
26:59Well, removing most of the toys,
27:02replacing the fun tone with a disheveled realism,
27:05and without even bringing back Tim Allen to be the voice of Buzz Lightyear.
27:10It must be recognized that the delivery had an impressive animation
27:13and intriguing ideas that could have worked well in another science fiction movie,
27:18but not necessarily in one about Buzz Lightyear.
27:21What was supposed to be the great return of Pixar to the movies,
27:25only raised $226.4 million.
27:29That would have been great for the original Toy Story,
27:32which cost $30 million in 1995,
27:35but this sequel to 2022 had a cost of $200 million,
27:41plus marketing and distribution costs.
27:53After its failure, the creative director of Pixar, Pete Docter,
27:56deduced that the film demanded too much from the public.
28:00NUMBER 7
28:01Tomorrowland
28:02You can never guarantee the success of a movie,
28:05but Tomorrowland seemed to contain all the necessary pieces to have it.
28:11Because if you think you can tell the story better,
28:13I would absolutely love to hear you try.
28:15Wow, really?
28:16Really.
28:17There was the director Brad Bird,
28:19who had made a lot of money in box office with movies like The Incredibles
28:23and Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol.
28:26Then we have the co-writer Damon Lindelof,
28:29better known as one of the creators of Lost.
28:32Finally there was George Clooney in the leading role,
28:37however, with all these pieces, the film only raised $209 million.
28:43Compared to the production and marketing budget,
28:46that meant a loss of between $120 and $150 million for Disney.
28:55But hey, the film got three nominations for the Teen Choice Awards,
29:00so that was the positive side, right?
29:03NUMBER 6
29:04Cats
29:07It wasn't enough to take the view,
29:10the cats are very much like you.
29:14The theatrical version of Cats raised almost $4 million all over the world
29:19and gave new life to the Broadway musical.
29:22Its cinematographic version was so catastrophic
29:25that it would have ended the musicals in theaters
29:28if Frozen 2 hadn't come out a month earlier.
29:31That said, it was completely eclipsed by the sequel to Frozen,
29:35not to mention Rise of the Skywalker.
29:37Cats is already developing a reputation as bad as it is good,
29:41not very different from The Room.
29:46While The Room cost only $6 million in production,
29:49Cats had a budget of $95 million,
29:53so a lot of night projections and domestic media sales will be needed
29:58for this thing to even make a profit.
30:02It is estimated that Universal lost between $70 and $114 million with the film.
30:22NUMBER 5
30:23Moonfall
30:32We need you, Brian, to join the fight.
30:34After Sun, To Leslie, Moonfall by Roland Emmerich,
30:38what do they all have in common?
30:40They are technically independent films.
30:42Before you say anything, yes,
30:44Moonfall cost much more than the aforementioned independent deliveries,
30:50with a budget ranging between $138 and $146 million.
30:55However, instead of following the traditional financing route
31:00of a disaster film of this magnitude,
31:02Emmerich financed it independently,
31:04with the help of sponsors such as Lionsgate and YG Brothers.
31:18Was Emmerich's bet worth it?
31:20Well, Moonfall didn't even recover half of its budget,
31:24as it raised $67.3 million.
31:28However, it reached number one and lost to Jackass Forever,
31:31which cost only $10 million.
31:33If Emmerich wanted to recover something,
31:35he should produce a documentary about how this film was made,
31:40which sounds much more interesting.
31:42NUMBER 4
31:43Strange World
31:45What did it feel like?
31:50And how does it feel?
31:53Feels...
31:55Perfect.
31:56How bad was Strange World?
31:58It was even worse than Treasure Planet,
32:01which came out 20 years earlier.
32:03To be fair, things have changed significantly since then,
32:07thanks to the rise of streaming, not to mention COVID.
32:12Disney was also able to do much more to commercialize the film,
32:15which did not receive the same reception as some of its other productions.
32:19However, something that Puss in Boots The Last Wish showed a month later
32:23is that the good reviews of the fans can generate an unexpected success,
32:28even after a disappointing weekend premiere,
32:31in front of a difficult competition.
32:42That's not how things were for Strange World.
32:45Although it has had better performance on Disney+,
32:48the financial loss of $147 million will be linked forever to its legacy.
33:06NUMBER 3
33:07Jupiter Ascending
33:08When leaving Jupiter Ascending,
33:11the public asks themselves the same question.
33:14Did someone pay between $376 and $210 million for this?
33:25The high investment makes more sense
33:27given the participation of the Wachowski sisters,
33:30the visionaries behind Matrix.
33:33Of course, this revelation is accompanied by another question.
33:36Did the people who brought us Matrix do this?
33:39Although the special opera had better performance outside the United States and Canada,
33:43where it raised only $47.4 million,
33:47the global total of $183.9 million
33:51was far from the beginning of the franchise that filmmakers expected.
33:55We would like to recognize the originality of the film,
33:58but the characters, plot and images
34:01seem recycled from better science fiction stories.
34:09I'm trying to understand exactly what it means to myself.
34:11Well, maybe it just means that your majesty's planet
34:13has a different future than the one that was planned for.
34:15However, few modern movies are so bad.
34:20NUMBER 2
34:21Pan Speaking of redundant ideas,
34:23Pan seems like an executive from Warner Bros. would have said.
34:27We need something that fills the void of Harry Potter
34:30and Disney has not yet made a remake of Peter Pan in live action.
34:34Let's take advantage while we can.
34:38Now, Neil.
34:41I said Neil!
34:43I am the son of a warrior,
34:45and a prince.
34:47I will never bow to you.
34:49Pan is governed by the mentality that if something is familiar,
34:52the public will come to mass.
34:54Although Hollywood is sometimes lucky with this philosophy,
34:57this was not the case.
34:59The studio invested $150 million only in the production budget,
35:04with at least another $100 million for its commercialization.
35:08With a balance point of around $500 million,
35:12it ended up with a terrible $128 million.
35:15Maybe Peter Pan is timeless,
35:18but this movie personified several tropes
35:20that were outdated years before.

35:48Number 1. Mortal Engines.
35:51With a production budget of between $100 and $150 million,
35:55Mortal Engines was risky for Universal.
36:04However, when Peter Jackson joins as screenwriter and producer,
36:08a risk can start to appear somewhat safe.
36:16In addition, the film was based on a beloved youth novel
36:20by Philip Reeve, which invited a great potential of franchise.
36:24The studio knew it had problems when Mortal Engines
36:27only raised $7.5 million during its first film.
36:32Your heart is broken.
36:38I will take away the pain.
36:43From there, things went from bad to worse,
36:46as the film was sold at 77% during its second weekend,
36:51with a total of only $83.7 million worldwide.
36:56Mortal Engines was a great success,
37:00Mortal Engines crashed and burned thanks to unenthusiastic critics
37:05and a crumpled Christmas season.
37:08The high costs of post-production contributed even more
37:11to the monumental loss of $174.8 million from the studio.
37:19Did you like any of these failures?
37:21Which ones deserved something better?
37:24It's not like I'm not trying, but I really, really need your help.
