Box Office Bombs

Hollywood is a catty town, and a lot of the same people who love you on the way up can’t wait to see you in freefall on the way down.

In Tinseltown, nothing resonates with the locals quite like a bonafide disaster movie — and we’re not talking Titanic here. Successes are celebrated, but box office bombs stick out on resumes, too.

Even some of the industry’s biggest stars have been stung a time or too. When Moviefone put together its list of the “Biggest Box Office Bombs of All Time,” no cows were held sacred.
