How Do You Know ~ Columbia Pictures (Sony)

A Sound of Thunder ~ Warner Bros. (Time Warner)

Loss = 68,3 million

The Postman ~ Warner Bros. (Time Warner)

This is according to their production budgets, so marketing costs aren't included, seeing as nobody knows for sure how much that actually is for each film -except the studios themselves. I haven't seen many of these, but by definition these are the biggest bombs out there. I'm positive Mars Needs Moms will end up in this list when it leaves theatres.


Though if you mean 'bomb' as in 'truly awful', then I would have to say Battlefield Earth, Gigli, Catwoman, Glitter, Disaster/Epic/Date/Superhero Movie/Meet the Spartans/Vampires Suck, Pluto Nash, Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever, Delgo, Son of the Mask, Pinocchio (2002), Ishtar, From Justin To Kelly, Freddy Got Fingered, and probably a lot more. Hilariously awful includes Showgirls, Troll 2 (OH MY GAWWWWDDD), and The Room (I did not hit her. I DID NOT!) of course.

The 13th Warrior and The Alamo are decent flicks. I just watched Alamo the other day. 13th Warrior if I recall made some money back on home video sales.
