How much did the biggest flops of 2024 lose?

As a movie enthusiast looking back on 2024, I’ve been wondering about the financial performance of the year’s biggest box-office disappointments. After considering factors like production budget, marketing expenses, residuals and distribution fees, interest, and revenue from various platforms such as theaters, home entertainment, television, and streaming, let me share some insights on the losses incurred by these films.

The movie “Kraven the Hunter,” ranking fifth on the list, suffered a significant loss of $71 million. Among several superhero films that flopped in the last 18 months, this one was co-financed by Sony, meaning their personal financial loss was only about half of the total.

Coming in fourth place, perhaps predictably, was Megalopolis. This extravagant production by Francis Ford Coppola, financed by himself and estimated to cost around $120 million, ended up losing approximately $75.5 million at the box office. Interestingly, more than 70% of its earnings were made outside the United States. For Lionsgate, the distributor, this wasn’t as detrimental as one might think, as it is believed that their distribution costs were roughly $4 million.

Thirdly, we find Lionsgate’s ‘Borderlands’, a film that had been stored away for some time before its release, which unfortunately flopped, resulting in a loss of approximately $80 million.

It seems that “Furiosa” might be the second film that took everyone by surprise, given its position. Following the massive critical and financial success of “Fury Road,” this film unfortunately lost $120 million and appears to have halted any further installments in the franchise.

However, the most significant setback was the highly anticipated sequel to Joker, titled “Joker: Madness Duet.” This film faced a disastrous outcome on all fronts, garnering negative reviews from critics as well as underperforming financially. Audiences expressed their dissatisfaction by walking out of screenings, while the studio was left in shock over the final product’s quality. Incurring a loss of $144 million, the film cost an estimated $371 million to produce, market, and distribute.
