History BoxOfficeBomb / GThroughH

* ''Anime/{{Gundress}}'' (1999) — Budget, $5 million. Box office, approximately $1 million (at best). This sci-fi anime feature was intended to be a major tentpole release, but a [[TroubledProduction chaotic production process]] led to the film showing [[ObviousBeta unfinished pencil tests instead of animation]].

* ''Literature/TheHateUGive'' (2018) — Budget, $23 million ([[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/multiple-fox-films-getting-axed-at-disney-1204252 plus a marketing budget of around $30 million]]). Box office, $34.9 million. This adaptation of Angie Thomas' YA novel received [[AcclaimedFlop near-universal acclaim from critics]], but was ignored by most audiences (though it did get an "A+" rating on [=CinemaScore=]), likely because of competition from more higher-profile October releases, like ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'', ''Film/{{A Star is Born|2018}}'', and ''Film/{{Halloween|2018}}'', and Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox not knowing how to properly market a film with its heavy racial subject matter to the young audience it was made for. This was one of the last films produced by the studio's Fox 2000 division before [[Creator/{{Disney}} their new owner]] shut down the label, and its follow-up, ''On the Come Up'', [[ChannelHop moved development]] to Creator/{{Paramount}} as a result. This was the final film for screenwriter Audrey Wells, ''who died the day before its release''.

* ''[[Film/Hypnotic2023 Hypnotic]]'' (2023) - Budget, $65 million. Box office, $6.4 million. This sci-fi thriller directed by Creator/RobertRodriguez and starring Creator/BenAffleck suffered a seriously TroubledProduction when co-producer and distributor Solstice Studios [[CreatorKiller folded]]. The film was eventually picked up for distribution by little-known Ketchup Entertainment, dropped into theaters with InvisibleAdvertising during the second weekend of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'', and disappeared from theaters in less than a month.

* ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' (1986) — Budget, $37 million. Box office, $16,295,774 (domestic), $37,962,774 (worldwide). Allegedly, its viciously negative reception [[BloodOnTheDebateFloor caused a fistfight]] between Creator/{{Universal}} executives Frank Price and Sidney Sheinberg over who to blame for greenlighting the film; both of them deny this, but Price's resignation from Universal was directly attributed to this film. It is also a CareerKiller for CreatorCouple Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, a major StarDerailingRole to several of its stars, and one of the few productions that producer Creator/GeorgeLucas admitted [[CreatorBacklash regret over]]. The sexual content of the film, despite its PG rating, caused backlash from parents; both it and ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' led to further enforcement of the PG-13 rating. The toxic reputation of the film, along with legal issues over the character from Creator/{{Disney}}, kicked Howard into the bottom bracket of Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}'s comic book superstars for the next 30 years, in addition to starting Marvel's movie business off on the wrong foot.

* ''Film/{{Hulk}}'' (2003) — Budget, $137 million. Box office, $132,177,234 (domestic), $245,360,480 (worldwide). Creator/AngLee's DarkerAndEdgier take on the Creator/MarvelComics superhero infuriated fans and divided critics. While it debuted to a massive $62 million on its opening weekend domestically, it dropped a legendary 70% on its second weekend due to very poor word-of-mouth, ultimately falling short of its production budget domestically. It's big opening and international numbers ''narrowly'' kept it from being a total disaster, enough that Universal would try again with ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk2008'' a few years later, adopting a more straightforward action/superhero tone, recasting everyone, and keeping only vague hints of the two being in the same continuity. This very nearly served as a CareerKiller for Lee, who bounced back with ''Film/BrokebackMountain''. Later became VindicatedByHistory as a CultClassic ahead of its time, as darker films about superheroes such as ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Film/{{Logan}}'' and films that embraced comic book imagery like ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' found mainstream success in later years.

* ''[[Film/Hypnotic2023 Hypnotic]]'' (2023) - Budget, $65 million. Box office, $6.1 million. This sci-fi thriller directed by Creator/RobertRodriguez and starring Creator/BenAffleck suffered a seriously TroubledProduction when co-producer and distributor Solstice Studios [[CreatorKiller folded]]. The film was eventually picked up for distribution by little-known Ketchup Entertainment, dropped into theaters with InvisibleAdvertising during the second weekend of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'', and disappeared from theaters in less than a month.

* ''Film/{{Hellboy|2019}}'' (2019) — Budget, $50 million. Box office, $19.7 million (domestic), $30 million (worldwide). This reboot of Hellboy was eviscerated by critics for its messy script, MoodWhiplash, and [[BloodierAndGorier overreliance on gore]]. It dropped [[FromBadToWorse between 68% and 73%]] in its second weekend, then 91% in its third, which happened to be the same weekend ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' came out.

* ''Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar'' (2016) — Budget, $115 million. Box office, $48,390,190 (domestic), $164,989,338 million (worldwide). While it did well overseas, it '''needed''' that overseas gross to have any chance of being viable after it received considerably worse reviews than the first film and opened right after the acclaimed [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 live-action remake]] of Walt Disney's classic ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'' became king of the box office; ''Huntsman'' failed to dethrone it in any way (some of the reviews also accused the film of [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks being an "angrier" version]] of ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' and copying its sister plotline). It was estimated to cost Universal $70 million in lost box office revenue, and has thus far [[FranchiseKiller stopped any chance of Universal continuing their fairy tale universe]]. This is the first of two fairy tale {{sequel|itis}} misfires for Joe Roth in 2016; it was quickly followed by ''Film/AliceThroughTheLookingGlass'', which ''Frozen/The Jungle Book'' maker Disney ironically made.

* ''[[Film/Hypnotic2023 Hypnotic]]'' (2023) - Budget, $65 million. Box office, $5.7 million. This sci-fi thriller directed by Creator/RobertRodriguez and starring Creator/BenAffleck suffered a seriously TroubledProduction when co-producer and distributor Solstice Studios [[CreatorKiller folded]]. The film was eventually picked up for distribution by little-known Ketchup Entertainment, dropped into theaters with InvisibleAdvertising during the second weekend of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3'', and disappeared from theaters in less than a month.

* ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' (2004) — Budget, $110 million. Box office, $103,951,461. One of a handful of flops in 2004 that ultimately helped end Disney CEO Michael Eisner's long run at the company, and this one is considered by many to be the finishing blow for the post-Golden Age era called UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation, as Disney abandoned its traditional animation department after the film failed, opening the floodgates to UsefulNotes/TheMillenniumAgeOfAnimation where CGI animated media began taking over the mainstream. It also [[CreatorKiller impounded]] the careers of director Will Finn and John Sanford; Finn mostly stuck to DirectToVideo media and didn't direct again until 2013, and Sanford didn't appear again at all until [=DreamWorks=]' second ''Dragons'' cartoon in 2015.

* ''Film/HotRod'' (2007) — Budget, $25.3 million. Box office, $14.3 million. The film debuts of Creator/AndySamberg, Jorma Taccone and director Akiva Schaffer of the Music/TheLonelyIsland. The film received mixed reviews for its script and humor, something the filmmakers predicted, and it fell by the wayside at the box office. It later became a CultClassic.

* ''Film/HowDoYouKnow'' (2010) — Budget, $120 million ($100 million net after tax rebates). Box office, $48,668,907. Dealt serious damage to director Creator/JamesLBrooks, who [[CreatorKiller has not directed another movie]] after his high salary and [[TroubledProduction "meticulous" production and post-production style]] ballooned the budget to ludicrous degrees and made this the most expensive romantic comedy ''ever'', only for it to be destroyed critically and commercially. The film also served as a StarDerailingRole for frequent Brooks collaborator Creator/JackNicholson, whose huge salary ''also'' contributed to the massive budget; he never appeared in another film after 2010 and officially retired from acting in 2017. The film's other nine-figure salaried stars, Creator/OwenWilson and Creator/ReeseWitherspoon, also saw diminished returns from their former heights. Producer Paula Weinstein did not produce another film for four years, and production company Gracie Films (the company behind ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'') did not put out another theatrical film for six years.

* ''Film/GeminiMan'' (2019) — Budget, $138 million (production costs), $261 million (total costs including marketing). Box office, $48,546,770 (domestic), $173,469,516 (worldwide). This sci-fi thriller spent 20 years in DevelopmentHell due to its ambitious premise (with the film’s main star, who ended up being Creator/WillSmith, facing off against a younger version of himself that was also played by him) before David Ellison's Skydance Media saved it and took the project to Paramount. While the effects for the younger Smith were generally praised, the rest of the end result, the script in particular, was eviscerated by critics as a ClicheStorm and unable to compete with the likes of ''Film/{{Joker|2019}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{The Addams Family|2019}}''. It didn't help that another sci-fi tentpole from Paramount/Skydance, ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate'', bombed only a few weeks afterwards.

* ''Film/{{Hugo}}'' (2011) — Budget, $156 million (not counting marketing costs), $190 million (counting them). Box office, $73,864,507 (domestic), $185,770,160 (worldwide). This was [[AcclaimedFlop adored by critics]], was nominated for 11 Oscars and won five, but suffered from a poor marketing campaign, an unusually limited release and major competition during the Thanksgiving holidays. It didn't help that the film's budget ballooned due to it being shot entirely in 3D causing costs to spiral out of control.

* ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' (1987) — Budget, $30 million. Box office, $1,576,615. It grossed a paltry $661,512 for its opening weekend, and parental protests over the film's RefugeInVulgarity [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids after it received a PG rating]] led to it being pulled from theaters within weeks of its release. The notorious film became an instant OldShame for both the creator of the source material, Mark Newgarden, and prolific voice actor Creator/JimCummings, who voiced several of the titular kids, and [[CreatorKiller trashed the careers]] of songwriter/actor Creator/AnthonyNewley and director Rod Amateau, as Newley never appeared in another theatrically released film, and Amateau only worked on one more film, 1988's ''Film/{{Sunset}}'', before disappearing from the entertainment industry completely. [[FranchiseKiller The movie also killed mainstream interest in the trading card game it was based on]], and Topps would only really invest in them again in 2003. (Michael Eisner tried to make a new ''GPK'' movie in 2012, but it didn't take off) This was one of several bombs that [[CreatorKiller helped dismantle its distributor]], Creator/AtlanticReleasingCorporation.

* ''Film/TheGetaway'' (1994) — Budget, $37 million. Box office, $16,096,974 (domestic), $30,057,974 (worldwide). This [[TheRemake remake]] of the 1972 crime drama starred then real-life married couple Creator/AlecBaldwin and Creator/KimBasinger. While the remake did get some buzz, if not out and out controversy, over [[HotterAndSexier its "voyeuristic" sex scenes]] between Baldwin and Basinger, [[CoupleBomb it failed to connect]] with both critics and audiences, like [[RomanceOnTheSet/LiveActionFilms their previous collaboration]] ''Film/TheMarryingMan''. Richard Farnsworth was [[OldShame personally embarrassed by his role in the film]], and plans for a sequel were [[StillbornFranchise unceremoniously cancelled]]. In an April 1997 interview with ''Movieline'' magazine, Basinger blamed the movie's box office failure on the fact that it opened around the same time as ''Film/AceVenturaPetDetective'' and a snowstorm on much of the east coast. This and a string of other post-''Film/Batman1989'' duds, as well as the stressful toll of her [[Film/BoxingHelena legal and financial problems]] and the subsequent birth of her and Baldwin's daughter caused Basinger to go on a three-year [[CelebrityIsOverrated sabbatical]] from Hollywood.

* ''Film/GetRichOrDieTryin'' (2005) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, $30,985,352 (domestic), $46,442,528 (worldwide). Music/FiftyCent's film debut was a semi-autobiographical film similar to ''Film/EightMile''. This was universally panned by critics for being a formulaic {{biopic}} and audiences generally ignored it. This was the screenwriting debut of Terence Winter, who [[OldShame hated the film for rewriting his script beyond recognition]], and he stayed away from the big screen until ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet''.

* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' (2009) — Budget, $175 million. Box office, $150,201,498 (domestic), $302,469,017 (worldwide). Became an OldShame to Creator/ChanningTatum, who had to take part in this film as the character of Duke due to a picture deal he had with Paramount. His hatred for this film's script didn't prevent him from reprising the role in the retooled sequel, ''Film/GIJoeRetaliation'', [[spoiler:but his character gets killed off for real early in that film]]. This was a CreatorKiller for Creator/StephenSommers, who would only direct one more (much smaller) film.

* ''Film/GodsOfEgypt'' (2016) — Budget, $140 million (not counting marketing costs), approx. $170 million (counting them). Box office, $31,153,464 (domestic), $150,680,864 (worldwide). The film received damning reviews on release (the Website/RottenTomatoes critic consensus reads, "Look on ''Gods of Egypt'', ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to [[Creator/PercyByssheShelley Shelley]].)") It had a poor first week against ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', and the next week saw the release of a second Creator/GerardButler film, ''Film/LondonHasFallen'' (which also didn't fare very well with critics), and Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', the latter of which mauled both movies at the box office. This contributed to a poor year for Creator/GerardButler, while Chadwick Boseman saw this as an OldShame.

* ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'' (2007) — Budget, $180 million. Box office, $70 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $372,234,864 (internationally)]]. Unfortunately, Creator/NewLineCinema had sold off the international distribution rights in order to raise enough money for the film's very expensive production, believing that the film would perform far better domestically than internationally. This extreme miscalculation resulted in [[CreatorKiller New Line being absorbed into]] Creator/WarnerBros soon after. [[StillbornFranchise Plans for the remainder of the book series eventually disappeared]], leaving this film's ending to become an [[LeftHanging unintentional]] perpetual {{Cliffhanger}} and turning the whole experience into an OldShame for director Chris Weitz thanks to ExecutiveMeddling. The series would get another chance at adaptation [[Series/HisDarkMaterials on TV]] a decade later.

* ''Film/AGoodManInAfrica'' (1994) — Budget, $20 million. Box office, $2,308,390. Writer William Boyd didn't write another screenplay for five years, and the film's production turned it into an OldShame for director Bruce Beresford, who had a considerable amount of [[CreatorBacklash disdain]] for it and considers it the worst project he's been involved with.

* ''Film/Grease2'' (1982) — Budget, $11.3 million. Box office, $15.1 million. The film's failure [[FranchiseKiller killed off plans for a third movie]], and it became a major OldShame for lead actress Creator/MichellePfeiffer, who claims she "hates it with a vengeance". It was also a major blow to Maxwell Caulfield's movie career.

* ''Film/GrudgeMatch'' (2013) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, $29,807,260 (domestic), $44,907,260 (worldwide). This was part of a brutal year for Creator/SylvesterStallone and the worst received of his output by critics. It also didn't fare well in a particularly crowded holiday season. Creator/KimBasinger saw this as [[OldShame her worst movie making experience]].

* ''Film/HardRain'' (1998) — Budget, $70 million. Box office, $19,870,567. Critics were unkind toward this [[GenreBusting action/crime/disaster]] film, and it opened under the box office reign of ''Film/Titanic1997''. Delays and reshoots marked the production as executives struggled to find ways to seperate it from the flood of disaster films of the late 1990s. Shortly before the premiere, lead actor Creator/ChristianSlater landed in the headlines for a string of violent altercations, which affected the press coverage. Neither Creator/MinnieDriver nor Creator/MorganFreeman [[OldShame had good things to say]] about their time on the film, and this was director Mikael Solomon's last film to get a theatrical release.
* ''Film/HarleyDavidsonAndTheMarlboroMan'' (1991) — Budget, $23 million. Box office, $7,018,525. This became a CultClassic later on. Creator/MickeyRourke however treats the film as OldShame, admitting that he only did the movie for the [[MoneyDearBoy money]].

* ''Film/{{Heat|1986}}'' (1986) — Budget, $17 million. Box office, $2,793,214. The first film version of Creator/WilliamGoldman's novel of the same name. The film went through five directors, star Creator/BurtReynolds [[HostilityOnTheSet feuded with one of them]], Dick Richards, who was later injured after falling from a crane. Richards and Jerry Jameson were the two credited directors on the film; Richards never worked in Hollywood again but Jameson found steady work on TV. Goldman, who also wrote the screenplay, was [[OldShame displeased with]] the [[CreatorBacklash results]].

* ''Film/HolyMan'' (1998) — Budget, $60 million. Box office, $12,069,719. The start of several career-zapping busts for director Stephen Herek. Creator/EddieMurphy [[OldShame isn't proud of it either]].

* ''Film/HotToTrot'' (1988) — Budget, $9 million. Box office, $6,436,211. Director Michael Dinner's first and final major movie (he's stuck to television since with one exception), a theatrical StarDerailingRole for noted comedian Bobcat Goldthwait (it also became an OldShame for him when he got a copy of the script in 2011), and a severe halter to entertainment featuring talking horses.

* ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' (1986) — Budget, $37 million. Box office, $16,295,774 (domestic), $37,962,774 (worldwide). Allegedly, its viciously negative reception [[BloodOnTheDebateFloor caused a fistfight]] between Creator/{{Universal}} executives Frank Price and Sidney Sheinberg over who to blame for greenlighting the film; both of them deny this, but Price's resignation from Universal was directly attributed to this film. It is also a CareerKiller for CreatorCouple Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, a major StarDerailingRole to several of its stars, and one of the few productions that producer Creator/GeorgeLucas admitted [[OldShame regret over]]. The sexual content of the film, despite its PG rating, caused backlash from parents; both it and ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' led to further enforcement of the PG-13 rating. The toxic reputation of the film, along with legal issues over the character from Creator/{{Disney}}, kicked Howard into the bottom bracket of Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}}'s comic book superstars for the next 30 years, in addition to starting Marvel's movie business off on the wrong foot.

* ''Film/Hush1998'' — Budget, $21 million. Box office, $13,583,690. The film was held from release after poor test screenings, which led to disastrous reshoots featuring Creator/GwynethPaltrow in a bad wig. The only feature film written and directed by Jonathan Darby, and an OldShame for Creator/JessicaLange.

* ''Film/TheHurricaneHeist'' (2018) — Budget, $35 million. Box office, $6,115,825 (domestic). This Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious meets DisasterMovie was swept away from most theaters after two weeks.

* ''Film/Hush1998'' (1998) — Budget, $21 million. Box office, $13,583,690. The film was held from release after poor test screenings, which led to disastrous reshoots featuring Creator/GwynethPaltrow in a bad wig. The only feature film written and directed by Jonathan Darby, and an OldShame for Creator/JessicaLange.

* ''Film/HowDoYouKnow'' (2010) — Budget, $120 million ($100 million net after tax rebates). Box office, $48,668,907. The film served as a StarDerailingRole for Creator/JackNicholson, as he never appeared in another film after 2010 and officially retired from acting in 2017. The truly ''ludicrous'' production budget for a romantic comedy also dealt serious damage to director James L. Brooks, who [[CreatorKiller has not directed another movie after this one]], plus producer Paula Weinstein, who did not produce another film for four years, and production company Gracie Films (the company behind ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''), which did not put out another theatrical film for six years.

* ''Film/HunterKiller'' (2018) — Budget, $40 million. Box office, $15,767,460 (domestic). This experienced a protracted DevelopmentHell, with much of the trouble due to production company Relativity's bankruptcy. It was subsequently dumped with InvisibleAdvertising and was trampled by its lackluster reviews and holdover ''Film/{{Halloween|2018}}''.

* ''Film/HowDoYouKnow'' (2010) — Budget, $120 million ($100 million net after tax rebates). Box office, $48,668,907. The film served as a StarDerailingRole for Creator/JackNicholson, as he never appeared in another film after 2010 and he would officially retire from acting in 2017, though [[TenMinuteRetirement he later signed on]] for an American remake of ''Toni Erdmann'' soon after. It also dealt serious damage to producer Paula Weinstein, who did not produce another film for four years, and James L. Brooks, while still being a producer, has not directed another movie after this one, plus production company Gracie Films (the company behind ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'') did not put out another theatrical film for six years.

* ''Film/TheHouseOfTheDevil'' (2009) — Budget, $900,000. Box office, $101,215. Despite [[AcclaimedFlop acclaim]] from critics and horror fans.

* ''Film/{{Homefront}}'' (2013) — Budget, $22 million. Box office, $20,158,898 (domestic), $43,058,898 (worldwide). Director Gary Fleder's first film in five years and currently his last. Part of a bad year for Creator/SylvesterStallone, who wrote the screenplay. It didn't help that it came out the same day as ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013''.

* ''Film/HomeMovies'' (1980) — Budget, $400,000. Box office, $89,134. Apparently, it only got a theatrical release in New York City and a few European countries like Italy. This was conceived by director Creator/BrianDePalma as a training exercise for students at his film course in Sarah Lawrence College.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheMovie'' (2002) — Budget, $3 million (not counting marketing costs), $16 million (counting them). Box office, $13,728,902 (domestic), $15,249,308 (worldwide). The film's poor performance led to Paramount cancelling a sequel that would have served as the GrandFinale for the ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' series, leaving the show to end on a cliffhanger that wouldn't be resolved until a one-off special ''13 years'' after the show ended.

* ''Film/{{Guy}}'' (1997) — Budget, Unknown, but... Box office, just $4,134. This was in one theater and was gone after nine days. It did no favors for Gramercy Pictures.

* ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' — Budget, $225 million (plus another $100 million for marketing). Box office, $219,851,172. Creator/WarnerBros wanted this to be their big new superhero trilogy, but poor box office and generally negative reviews led this to be a StillbornFranchise. It didn't discourage star Creator/RyanReynolds from taking the role of another comic book character, ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', five years later (which included him making a TakeThat to ''Green Lantern''). It also sent director Martin Campbell's career into a pit for years; he has mostly focused on TV, and it would be four years before he got attached to another cinematic project, when he was tapped for the Creator/JackieChan[=/=]Creator/PierceBrosnan project ''Film/{{The Foreigner|2017}}''.

* ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'' (2007) — Budget, $180 million. Box office, $70 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $372,234,864 (internationally)]]. Unfortunately, Creator/NewLineCinema had sold off the international distribution rights in order to raise enough money for the film's production, meaning that they only got the domestic gross, and never saw a penny of the international box office. As a result, [[CreatorKiller New Line was absorbed into]] Creator/WarnerBros soon after. [[StillbornFranchise Plans for the remainder of the book series eventually disappeared]], leaving this film's ending to become an [[LeftHanging unintentional]] perpetual {{Cliffhanger}} and turning the whole experience into an OldShame for director Chris Weitz thanks to ExecutiveMeddling.

* ''Film/GhostInTheShell2017'' (2017) -- Budget, $110 million (not counting marketing costs). Box office, $40,563,557 (domestic), $169,801,921 (worldwide). This adaptation of both Creator/MasamuneShirow's [[Manga/GhostInTheShell manga]] and Creator/MamoruOshii's [[Anime/GhostInTheShell anime film]] got [[SoOkayItsAverage average reviews]] that praised its visuals, but noted its lack of substance and philosophical {{technobabble}} from the original film. The movie faced controversy in Western countries for its RaceLift casting choices [[note]]The casting of Scarlett Johansson as Major Kusanagi, ironically, was meant to draw in more people[[/note]], which only grew when the ending [[spoiler:revealed that Major was actually an Asian woman in a Caucasian body]]. Despite this, audiences in Asia [[ValuesDissonance were generally more receptive toward this casting choice]]. To add insult to box office injury, it didn't even reach first, being beat out by Creator/DreamWorksAnimation's ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby''. Even the international box office was not able to save this film, due to the film being released in China a week before ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious The Fate of the Furious]]'', which overran it upon its release and became the fifth biggest grossing film in the country.

* ''Film/GreenLantern2011'' (2011) — Budget, $225 million (plus another $100 million for marketing). Box office, $219,851,172. Creator/WarnerBros wanted this to be their big new superhero trilogy, but poor box office and generally negative reviews led this to be a StillbornFranchise. It didn't discourage star Creator/RyanReynolds from taking the role of another comic book character, ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', five years later (which included him making a TakeThat to ''Green Lantern''). It also sent director Martin Campbell's career into a pit for years; he has mostly focused on TV, and it would be four years before he got attached to another cinematic project, when he was tapped for the Creator/JackieChan[=/=]Creator/PierceBrosnan project ''Film/{{The Foreigner|2017}}''.
* ''Film/GreenRoom'' (2016) — Budget, $5 million. Box office, $3,769,214. This Punks vs neo-Nazis horror-thriller [[AcclaimedFlop received rave reviews from critics]], but InvisibleAdvertising due to troubles with production company Broad Green Pictures doomed its box office chances. Thankfully, it did better on home video and is now considered a CultClassic.

[[folder:H]]

* ''Film/HeartsInAtlantis'' (2001) — Budget, $31 million. Box office, $30,919,415. This film falling just over $80,000 short of its original budget and getting exactly 50/50 reviews from critics sunk director Scott Hicks' career for six years, and is the second-to-last film written by William Goldman until the 2010's.

* ''Film/TheHomeTeachers'' (2004) — Budget, $425,000. Box office, $203,917. The niche success Halestorm Entertainment had with their [[UsefulNotes/MormonCinema LDS comedies]] began to dwindle when this film flopped in theaters. While DVD sales pulled it out of the red, spectators began to grow weary of this type of self-referential and slap-sticky religious comedy.

* ''Film/{{Grabbers}}'' (2012) - Budget: $5,207,020, Box office: $427,335

* ''Film/{{Hatchet}}'' series:
** ''Hatchet'' (2006) - Budget: $1,500,000, Box office: $208,550. The first in the horror series had a very limited release.
** ''Hatchet II'' (2010) - Budget: $800,000, Box office: $156,190. It had a very limited release like its predecessor and it didn't even last a week in theaters.

* ''Film/TheHebrewHammer'' (2003) — Budget: $1,000,000, Gross USA: $19,539. This superhero parody only had a limited release, mainly due to Comedy Central airing the film nearly two weeks earlier. It also drew controversy for its use of Jewish and Christian stereotypes. Further airings by Comedy Central cemented it as a CultClassic.

* ''Film/TheHitcher'' (1986) — Budget: $6 million. Box office: $5,844,868. Most critics accused this thriller of being too sadistic and exploitational, but it eventually became a CultClassic over time.
* ''Film/TheHitmansWifesBodyguard'' (2021) - Budget: $70 million. Box office, $70.1 million. The sequel to ''Film/TheHitmansBodyguard'' was hit with bad reviews and a COVID-depressed box office, making well less than half of its predecessor and seemingly ending any chance for another installment.

* ''Film/HoboWithAShotgun'' (2011) - Budget: $3 million. Box office, $703,372 (domestic), $834,953 (worldwide). Spun out of a [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake trailer]] featured in ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}'', this [[{{Gorn}} ultra-violent]] send-up of [[ExploitationFilm low-budget vigilante films]] of the 1970s got mixed-to-positive reviews, though many were understandably turned away by its high energy and crass nature. It saw a limited release in 21 theaters, with most of its sales coming from home video.
