I liked these enough to watch them multiple times on TV.
1997: The Postman
1999: The 13th Warrior
2012: John Carter
2013: 47 Ronin
The scenes from Mulan look good. Is it a good watch?

I was in high school when this was released but only first saw it on HBO/ cable.
I'm sure Return of the Jedi sucked a lot of the air out of the scifi/ fantasy room but I don't remember any promotion of this film prior to release. And this was a time as a teenager to do all nighters at a friends house playing Dungeon and Dragons; this movie would have been high interest for us.

I think it's almost impossible to really know the actual losses figuring in Hollywood accounting and additional promotional expenditures. I also feel like I've read about quite a few more that bombed harder. Allegedly. Still, nice list. Adams family values is almost better than the original

Very underrated. Wouldn't have saved it but it was a mistake of them not naming it the same as the book series. John Carter of Mars or Under the Moons of Mars. Just naming the movie John Carter is freaking retarded and just made the movie sound dumb before you even saw a trailer.

This used to come on HBO all of the time in the early 90's. I'd probably still watch it again

Completely agree, which is why these arguments are dumb. No one other than the studio knows anything. I just feel like this topic has gotten out of hand.

This trailer is the reason I didn’t watch it. I swear they were playing it before every movie for a damn year before Carter released. By the time it released I skipped it out of spite.

How do they decide the top bomb of the year?
Coppola spent $120m on a film like 100 people watched.

I saw Inchon in the theater with my dad when I was a kid. I liked it.
I can't believe Krull cost that much to make. Someone needs to do an audit of that one.

Weird one. A 2018 production that had its 2019 release date bumped 18 months into 2021 to accommodate reshoots. Lionsgate gave the film no marketing push and put into enough screens to just technically qualify as a wide release. Seems like they had written off the losses a long time ago.

Of the list....this stands out the most as a non-stinker....in fact, very much the complete opposite.
