Biggest movie flops this year

Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure- grossed 1 million on a 20 million dollar budget equaling 5% return.
A Thousand Words- 20 million on a 40 million dollar budget. 50% return. I must have totally missed this movie.
Dredd-earned only 56 percent of its estimated $50 million. I still want to see it, I like everything Karl Urban has done. Well, Doom and Pathfinder or whatever kind of sucked.
Big Miracle- 25 mill of 40 milion. Never heard of it.
Wanderlust- only earned only 70 percent of its estimated budget of $30 million
Cloud Atlas just missed the cut because it is still in theaters. But it had only made 24 million of an estimated 100 million dollar budget. That sucks. I kind of saw flop in the trailers to be honest. Just didn't look that interesting to me.

The fact that Dredd flopped is seriously disheartening. That movie was fantastic.
I was actually interested in Cloud Atlas from the previews, but after reading a portion of the book, I have little to no desire to see that thing.
John Carter truly suffered from poor branding. The trailer was a mess, made to showcase only its special effects, rather than its actual plot. That said, Peter Gabriel brought it in that trailer. Nevertheless, plastering the Disney logo to open the trailer immediately discredited the film as anything other than a children's movie. JC was not a kids' movie. And if it was, it shouldn't have been. (I haven't seen it, tbh) Plus, I think they should have kept the original name of the book (A Princess of Mars), but maybe that's just me.
Sad to see.

In response to a comment in OP...
Doom didn't just kind of sucked. That shite was terrible.

Just read the wikipedia page for "Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure." I thought this was hilarious:
"After seeing Madea Goes to Jail in a theater, where he saw how people in the audience would shout out advice to the characters on screen, Viselman was partially inspired to create a children's film in the vein of Teletubbies with the interactive aspect, allowing the children to sing, dance, and respond to the characters on screen."
hahaha! I think he should have been more aware of the demographics of Medea movie versus the demographics of a children's movie.
