** Taylor Kitsch's career ruined by both the failures of this movie and ''Film/JohnCarter''.
** Any chance Creator/BrooklynDecker had at becoming a movie star was ended by this movie and ''Film/JustGoWithIt''.

to:

** Taylor Kitsch's A downplayed case for Creator/TaylorKitsch. Despite his career ruined in harm's way by both the failures of this movie movie, ''Film/JohnCarter'', '''and''' ''Film/{{Savages}}'', he managed to snag a supporting role in the well-received ''Film/LoneSurvivor'' a year later. He still manages to find film and ''Film/JohnCarter''.
TV work such as the second season of ''Series/TrueDetective'', ''Film/AmericanAssassin'', ''Series/{{Waco}}'', ''Film/TwentyOneBridges'', and ''Series/TheTerminalList'', but more of a supporting player and less of a main lead. At the very least, his performances in the aforementioned projects have been met with slightly more praise.
** Any chance Creator/BrooklynDecker had at becoming a movie star was ended by this movie and ''Film/JustGoWithIt''. She now sticks to her modeling career and role as a series regular in ''Series/GraceAndFrankie'', where she received far more acclaim.

** If ''[[Trivia/Revolution2016 Unit:E]]'' had managed to launch, the crew of the ''ISN Everest'' from the ''Battleship Galaxies'' game would've fought alongside many other Hasbro heroes.

Not enough of a flop to count as an outright bomb per cleanup


* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $220 million. Box office, $65 million (domestic), [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff $302.8 million (worldwide)]]. As with Taylor Kitsch's ''other'' would-be blockbuster that year, ''Film/JohnCarter'', it was one of the big bombs of summer 2012, with Universal Studios posting a loss totaling over $100 million on the production. Coming just two weeks after the mega-hit that is the ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'' didn't help matters.
