A great little list has hit the net via Moviefone that chronicles 2010’s lowest Boxoffice Grosses of this year. Remember, the Gross is the money that the movie took in before deductions like the cost of the film and advertising budget – its just the pure boxoffice numbers.
Now this list is only considering films that had over 1000 theaters in a wide release as not to confuse independent releases and limited release films in this mix that likely made far less money. The list also only considered the US domestic take. So lets check out 2010’s lowest rake at the boxoffice:
10. ‘Splice’ (Gross: $17 million. Widest release: 2,450 theaters.)
9. ‘Youth in Revolt’ (Gross: $15.3 million. Widest release: 1,873 theaters.)
8. ‘My Soul to Take’ (Gross: $14.7 million. Widest release: 2,572 theaters.)
7. ‘Repo Men’ (Gross: $13.8 million. Widest release: 2,521 theaters.)
6. ‘Case 39’ (Gross: $13.3 million. Widest release: 2,212 theaters.)
5. ‘Let Me In’ (Gross: $12.1 million. Widest release: 2,042 theaters.)
4. ‘Extraordinary Measures’ (Gross: $12.1 million. Widest release: 2,549 theaters.)
3. ‘Jonah Hex’ (Gross: $10.6 million. Widest release: 2,825 theaters.)
2. ‘MacGruber’ (Gross: $8.5 million. Widest release: 2,551 theaters.)
1. ‘The Warrior’s Way’ (Gross: $5.6 million. Widest release: 1,622 theaters.)
I can honestly say that I am not surprised by any of the titles on this list. And I don’t know that any movie on this list made its production budget back so they all qualify as boxoffice flops.
While many of the films just looked bad, we can blame that for a low boxoffice grab. But that isn’t to say that every film on this list was a bad movie.
Is there any movie on this list that you actually loved?
