* ''Film/{{Ferrari}}'' (2023) -- Budget, $95 million. Box office, $42,285,029. After struggling for eight years to get this film made after ''Film/{{Blackhat}}'' bombed, director Creator/MichaelMann purportedly wound up funding much of the film out of his own pocket as main financier Creator/STXEntertainment shrank back from film production and passed off distribution duties to Creator/{{Neon}}. Despite decent reviews, Neon's limited marketing budget capped the film's commercial ceiling.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' (1940) — Budget, $2,280,000. Box office, $361,800 (original theatrical release tally only). The outbreak of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII plus the cost of movie theaters having to install Disney's new "Fantasound" technology to properly show ''Fantasia'' hurt this film badly, and, along with ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'''s initial disappointing releases and a bitter strike from animators, defeated the dream of turning ''Fantasia'' into a concert/animation film series for decades and resulted in Walt Disney having to make package films for the remainder of the 40s until ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' brought animation back to mainstream. It's also one of a handful of Creator/RKOPictures-distributed flops in the early '40s that dealt damage to the studio. ''Fantasia'' has since been considered one of Walt's [[AcclaimedFlop best]], along with ''Pinocchio'' and ''Bambi''.

Released nearly a decade after [[Film/TheExpendables3 its poorly received predecessor]], the fourth (and presumably final) installment of the ''Expendables'' franchise cratered at the box office, being panned by critics for [[SpecialEffectsFailure terrible effects]] and poor performances from its no-longer AllStarCast. Even [[NeverTrustATrailer trailers that attempted to hide that]] Creator/SylvesterStallone [[DemotedToExtra was barely in the movie]] failed to attract viewers.
