* BoxOfficeBomb: ''Geostorm'' cost an estimated $120-140M to make and has to gross between $300M and $350M to become profitable, but only raked in a horrendously meager $13.3M during its domestic opening weekend. As of Oct. 29, 2017, its worldwide gross is sitting at slightly below $135M. The most likely contributors to its abysmal failure are its epically TroubledProduction (see below), as well as the fact that a natural disaster movie tends to fight an uphill battle by default when it's released in the wake of a whole chain of RealLife natural disasters (namely, a series of powerful hurricanes that devastated considerable parts of the US and the Caribbean just weeks prior).
