Is it really the stars who lost millions to the studios, of the movie’s box office performance?
The way I see it, you can’t really blame it all on the stars in the leading role. Because I can tell you right now; even if Ezra Miller Didn’t have any legal problems, The Flash would have bombed in the box office, just like Green Lantern.
Green Lantern was a poor written script, and The Flash was a half ass written adaptation of the flashpoint comic. The difference: the writers in Green Lantern really fucked up the script that Ryan Reynolds was never gonna take take that superhero film across the gold line. And I’m pretty sure all fighter pilots hated that movie, and prefer top gun ever since.
And the writers for The Flash, shouldn’t have adapted the flashpoint storyline-and that’s because you do not adapt a storyline like the flashpoint comic in a 144 minute runtime.
If the flash had a longer run time the writers could’ve had a chance of not writing something with little effort or care.
So I wouldn’t blame it all on the lead especially if it was poor casting or poor writing.
The only thing the lead can do to screw up is loosing their own investors that invested in them.
cut throat island was a good movie sucks it lost so much
Please do Top 10 Games Yet To Receive An Adaptation (God or War, Bioshock, Strider, Fire Emblem, etc.)!!
I will consider this CLICKBAIT. These actors weren't the cause, they were victims of crappy movie direction and used for their celebrity status to make extra money or to try and fix what was unfixable.
Change the title to something more accurate instead of baiting for views.
Come on, you can’t blame ALL the actors on this list for being solely responsible for each of the studios for losing money. They tried their best.
ikr most of the movie plots on here sucked
What I hate is Ezra Miller isn't on the list smh!!
I mean, even if we don’t, I’m sure the studios do at least partly blame them, lot of time though they totally blame them & the director.
@@Mechadroid209he’s a protected class of ppl…
Lol if WW 1984 was Gal Gadot's best then she should never be let to work again
Most of these movies lost money because of terrible writing not because of the actor...the actor cannot carry a movie alone no matter who it is...
I remember Doctor Detroit and how they blamed Dan Aykroyd. They said he couldn't carry a movie on his own as a lead actor. He seemed to do pretty good in Coneheads. Doctor Detroit just sucked. It wasn't Aykroyds fault.
Actually, some lost money because fickle audiences wrongly imagined they'd be any good, so stayed away.
I believe that is true. 👍
Yes. SOOO yes. I just got done writing that.
I don’t think it’s fair to solely blame the actors for a movie flopping
Agreed though some have some movies as passion projects and can be partly responsible. On #10 alone I don’t think it’s Arnie’s fault when it was widely documented by news sources & director Tim Miller that James Cameron micromanaged the production and fought with Miller’s vision for “Dark Fate”
Studios do
Yes, but on the flip side they get totally praised when movies do well. So you have to take the good with the bad.
Studio executives lose money, not the actors. This one was mean spirited.
Oh yeah cause actors don't act good, or ham it up in some movies let alone just do it for the pay check. Let's cut the bs out.
@@AkaManah45 Much of the responsibility for movies not doing well critically/commercially should fall on the studios and writers
@@AkaManah45 bad script / writers = flops...so blame those playing out the script they did not write?
@@syria0110 not the person on the screen ? So when it goes good it’s the actors bad it’s the writers etc ?
Yeah
This video should be titled movies that bombed despite having good actors
Why are the actor's being blamed? They didn't greenlight or produce these movies.
Lack of standards.
Studios take no responsibility. But actors also get the credit when it’s good.
The choice what movie they want .
True
We don’t tolerate any Geena Davis slander here, friend.
Well too bad cause actors all have bad movies, let's get over it.
She's so dog-faced.
Love her in The Long Kiss Goodbye
@@patriciathompson1776 Long Kiss Goodnight, but Samuel L Jackson steals that movie
I mean she is part of why “Cutthroat Island” was such a massive disaster, but it still sucked it hurt her career as she is talented
Didn’t Terminator Dark Fate flop because someone decided to kill off John Connor at the BEGINNING of the movie ?
Of course, that doomed the stupid movie
Came here to say just this. Theyre always afraid to touch on the “woke” agenda
An actor can only do so much with the material their given; blame can't be solely on them. 🎉
🥉
That's true.
But if the actor can't see that the material they're being asked to transfer onto the screen is bad, and still chooses to take on the role then they do deserve to accept some of the blame.
The 13th warrior is great , and considered a cult classic now.
I’m sorry but including actors on this list who’s movies came out during the pandemic is unfair 😞
I actually liked the 13th Warrior
I think Johnny Depp is allowed The Lone Ranger flop, since he’s made Hollywood a kajillion dollars with the Pirates movies alone.
I'd rather watch The Lone Ranger than Sweeney Todd or The Libertine.
It's funny how people will blame everyone but the director when a movie bombs critically and/or financially, but will give the directly almost all the praise when the movie is a hit. Funny, that.
Wonder Women 1984 shouldn’t have been added since it was release during the pandemic! That’s not even a fair assessment considering the circumstance🤷🏾♀️
It's the writers, director, and producer. Actors are just there to do what they are told to do
So do it better
@@dominiccarter5070how they can do it better? Now I can see if the actor wrote, produced and directed as well as star in the movie themselves yeah if it's a bomb but not in this case
I don't know how you can blame the actors for movie flops when it's usually a bad plot/story that tanks a movie
Rob Schneider was almost completely responsible for Judge Dredd being a flop. That movie had a huge budget and his attempts at comedy were morbidly depressing. He single-handedly ruined what could have been a great movie.
Comedy relief is best in small doses period, he was used in the right dose for Sly in "Demolition Man", reason he was used again in "Judge Dredd", but that was a fatal overdose!
I think you've just summed up Rob Schneider's entire career there.
I've seen Judge Dredd and it wasn't Rob Schneiders fault. The movie just sucked. Rob was the only reason I could sit through the whole movie.
I blame the last one on poor marketing. And the ones that studios put into theaters during the beginning of Covid didn't standba chance.
Unfair about Geena Davis! She was a very talented actress who was neither here nor there about being an action heroine, it was her ex Renny Harlin who insisted on turning her into one, & the 2 vehicles simply didn't work in the biggest way, but she took the heat!
Unpopular Opinion: Cutthroat Island is good!
I saw it in theaters, AND bought the DVD!
I agree ❤👏🏾
Agreed
I was fully expecting Adam Sandler to be on here for Jack and Jill.
I'm an Adam Sandler fan (love a lot of his movies) but I could only watch a few minutes of Jack and Jill.
…do the people who actually make these lists know the actors have very little say in if a movie flops? The directors. The writers. The producers. Let’s stop putting so much pressure solely on those literally killing themselves to entertain us. They have to work with what they’re given.
“To use a football analogy, he couldn’t take the film over the goal line” what? Bro was this written by AI?
No Waterworld? Shoulda been number 1.
And Ishtar.
Waterworld fell short at the box office but actually became profitable with home video.
@@nealwestmoreland8576 The movie wasn't bad. I remember Siskel and Ebert liked it.
Taylor Kitsch really shouldn’t be the blame. He was good in both, they just weren’t popular.
Arnold sacrificed the Terminator to become the Govenator long before Dark Fate.
Before this I didn’t even hear of Pan.
John Carter was a good flick!
The celebrities didn't kill these movies. The studios did.
I kinda like the 13th Warrior. 😳
a lot of writers and producers are good at dodging blame.
I do, and always will love The 13th Warrior which is better than the source material. If they would have stayed closer to the source material for John Carter they probably wouldn't have created such a dud of a film.
I think part of the problem was the title 'John Carter.' Too generic.
The book series is from a bygone era and this generation didn't have a frame of reference - I had to explain to a lot of people about the 'Warlord of Mars' series after they'd said: Who the hell is "John Carter?"
Come on man John Carter, Jungle Cruise, and King Arthur Legend of The Sword was awesome. John Carter was released during the Twilight/Harry Potter era.
I liked "John Carter" -- though they should have kept the original title "John Carter of Mars"
Yeah. I think part of the problem was the title 'John Carter.' Too generic...
The book series is from a bygone era and this generation didn't have a frame of reference - I had to explain to a lot of people about the 'Warlord of Mars' series after they'd said: Who the hell is "John Carter?"
23 seconds into this list, and I can already conclude that this list should be called:
"10 Actors we blame for failing movies because we don't understand how movies are made"
Don't blame the actors for crappy, boring movies. I also love Pluto Nash. A movies success also greatly depends on the timing of the release. And Johnny Depp as Tonto was great.
I liked 13th Warrior
It wasn’t geena Davis fault? It was the story and director more. She made a great comeback with a long kiss goodnight next year. 😅
Basing a Movie Flopping on 1 actor is just plain rude The director is at the helm but has to answer to studio executives and they’re into making money so sometimes cut corners
I like 13th warrior, it's a retelling story about Beowulf
Most of this movies fails do the script and direction and not the main actor
I really don’t understand the decision of the studio to hire two unknowns for john carter.
A movie with that budget, you would think they would get two leads with star power.
Liz Taylor's Cleopatra better be number 1.
I can't believe "Water World" with Kevin Costner was on the list and wasn't number one. I believe at the time, it was the biggest financial loss ever
@@anthonycoleman9593Waterworld had a profit after international B.O. numbers were figured in.
The general sentiment of the comments, fifty posted about an hour after this video went live, is that you can't just put the blame on the actors for the failures of these movies - and I'd have to agree, as these all pretty much had other problems and issues that led to why the movies failed... and the ones that failed in part because of the actor were because the studio gave the lead to an actor that wasn't ready for it or to an actor whose time had past and wasn't as big a draw as they used to be.
13th warrior is the best! still watching it time to time )
How can you blame Arnold for that horrible Terminator movie and story. The other sequels were good.
Wonder Woman 84 was so underwhelming. It’s just the Midas fable.
King Arthur is underrated. It's a Guy Ritchie heist flick set against a fantasy backdrop. It's great.
John Carter failed because of horrible marketing. I remember when it came out and thinking don't know what that is and it looks really weird. If I had known more about the story and source material at the time I would have given it a chance. Cuttthroat Island and 13th Warrior were good movies. I enjoyed Lone Ranger despite Depp's weird take on Tonto.
Remember when WatchMojo had credibility? Me neither.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Oww.. No wonder why I don't see some of them on the list in new movies anymore.. I hope everything goes well for them in the future.
Cutthroat Island was actually a better movie than most of the the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
IDK why so few watched it. Everyone I know that DID watch it liked it.
John Carter was too good to have suffered such a loss.
The director, studio, marketing and people responsible for the creative vision of the project behind the camera typically spell out the quality and outreach of a project.
"Cutthroat Island" was great, highly underrated.
CGI has ruined movies for me
I feel like Wonder Woman shouldn't count.
Wonder Women 1984 which came out in 2020? Most cinemas around the world were closed from the end of March 2020 because of Covid restrictions. If it came out a year earlier it might have been a hit
Jungle cruise had the worst marketing. No one knew that movie came out
I enjoyed Jungle Cruise; light fun!
Maybe people are just tired of Dwayne Johnson.
@@Dr.Thirteen-bb1ub possible
Everyone in my family loves The 13th Warrior - we’ve never understood the lukewarm reception.
I seriously thought that was John Leguizamo in the thumbnail.
Taylor Kitsch was amazing at playing David Koresh.
Cutthroat Island continues to be a guilty pleasure movie for me though.
Its really not that bad.
mine is pluto nash xD
I’ve only seen Terminator: Dark Fate, Wonder Woman 1984, Cutthroat Island, The 13th Warrior, The Lone Ranger and John Carter from the list.
The 13th Warrior was a good movie.
The saddest on the list is John Carter - the books were great and it had a lot of franchise potential. Hope it can be revived
taylor kitsch is an underrated actor , the movies writing and directing were to blame not him
I’d say the studios are more of the reason these movies were huge failures. Most of the actors involved were just taking the payday cause they enjoyed the idea of what they signed on for or actually cared and tried their best with what they had to work with
I love WatchMojo but I found this to be a very poor list. To say a movie lost money solely on a single actor, leading or otherwise is absurd. By all means I am not saying it is not possible but the bulk of these films had nothing to do with the acting of the lead. It can be blamed on several factors, poor marketing, poor direction, producing conflicts and writing.
To this day, I can't figure out why 13th Warrior gets such a bad rap. Within reason, the movie follows the Crichton book (Eaters of the Dead) fairly well. The cast performs well and the action sequences are spectacular. I re-watch it several times a year, I tink it may have a bit of a cult status.
I LOVED “John Carter”; I wanted sequels of “John Carter”!!!
Charlie Hunnam was failed by Hollywood. He absolutely had the ability - and arguably still does - to be a movie star, but even good projects he's good in like _Crimson Peak_ don't really help him get as many eyes as he deserves.
13th warrior and king arthur are great movies
Geena Davis is such a great actress! Loved the Fly and she was such a bad ass in The Long Kiss Goodbye
I thought Waterworld starring Kevin Costner was the biggest box office flop??
I was expecting to see Ben & J. Lo here for Gigli.
I still liked WW84, The Lone Ranger, and John Carter.
I thought it was about the actors, but who drove the movie on screen and off screen and had huge influence/control, an example John Trevolta, like his movie Battlefield Earth. Another one also would be Kevin Costner not sure if it was Water World or another movie, another could be Tom Cruise for his 'The Mummy'' which killed the planned "Monsterverse"which i was really looking forward too.
You're forgetting that even though they lose money on some movies, they're still gonna be here forever, and somehow make money. Not saying they will ever get the money back though.
All the celebrities WON!
Seems like a fair number of these are budget and/or overspending problems, not actor problems.
My friend saw "Cutthroat Island" and called it "Cut My Own Throat Island". He didn't like it. ;)
To be fair, a lot of these movies just had really poor writing/an uninteresting story. I don't think the actors should be blamed for doing their best with what they had.
For example, I HATE a lot of the DCEU movies because of their poor writing; but I WILL certainly praise the various actors in them for their performances, because they did very well with what they had, and at least TRIED. Which is more than you can say for the writers... 😒
The problem with most of these movies isn't the actors, it's the writing and the obvious studio interference. Jungle Cruise was alright. Mind blowing? Not at all. But it was fun. Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall were awesome as brother and sister. Charlie Hunnam however, is box office poison.
Not one of those actors lost money in those films.
Not every movie project is destined for the big bucks category, no matter who happens to be the star. The world of entertainment has grown shallow indeed when the worth of a movie is based solely on the money it makes for the studio.
My favorite is "Raise the Titanic". Based on the bestseller by Clive Cussler. This movie was such a stinker that it bankrupted the British studio that produced it. At least it had a great John Barry score and a fantastic opening: a montage of pictures of the building of the Titanic with that amazing score by this 5 time Oscar winning composer.
I doubt the blame falls on just the actors most of the movie plots on here sucked
Most of these stars have filmographies in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. I'm sure they'll be fine.
How do these movies cost so much to make when they are all CGI? Someone is making WAY too much money. Fire them!

What they need to do is advertise the movies on TV. That way people can see what the movie is about.
"FX's greatest show, Fargo"
There, fixed it for you.
How are actors being blamed for losing money durint covid, when theaters were shut down and nobody had money to stream?
The movies or franchises are not just made or created by actors and actresses.The Directors,producers the studios how they promote the movies.
What about every Lindsay Lohan movie since Herbie Fully Loaded?
is till dont understand why people hated john carter. it wasn't a masterpiece but it was a good fun movie imo. even battleship was fun to watch.
A lot of these aren’t the fault of the celebrity
