re: Biggest movie flops this year

Disney's marketing department shite the bed this year.

The Avengers and it's highest opening weekend gross EVER says hi.

Brave was a good $200 mil under expectations

According to whom? It made right around the average of what Pixar films make at the box office.

no reason that film shouldn't have been renamed from "The Bear and the Bow".

Other than the market research that Disney did to back up this change, sure.

Removing "of Mars" from John Carter was retarded; seriously, if I had never heard of John Carter, how was I supposed to know what the movie was about?

I agree with this, but I understand their reasoning. Their marketing plan wasn't the problem. Their advertising plan was. I touched on that earlier.

they have gone below expectations as far as Box Office is concerned.

Outside of John Carter, not really. Every studio has it's misses and John Carter was their big miss.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green had a $25 million budget and has grossed over $51 million domestically and $150 million worldwide. Frankenweenie has grossed $61 million against $24 million budget. That total isn't that great, but they will make some pretty decent change on merchandising and licensing.

Wreck-it Ralph may struggle, but it's still opening internationally and again, Disney will
make big bank with merchandising and licensing.

Disney only had 6 releases this year. John Carter was a big disappointment. Frankenweenie and The Odd-Life made their budgets back. Wreck it Ralph remains to be seen in terms of the box office, but it will be a profitable endeavor for Disney. Brave was easily a hit for Disney and they will make a killing off of its M&L. The Avengers speaks for itself.
