10) Catwoman
Production Budget: $100 million
Worldwide Box Office Total: $82,102,379
It’s hard to say what went wrong with Catwoman. I mean, there’s no doubt that it’s an utterly terrible film, but it’s still surprising that it turned out so poorly. The character herself is widely recognized with a large fanbase and Halle Berry was hotter than ever when the film was made. So how did this film manage to bomb so hard?
Personally, I think Berry was alright in the role and wouldn’t place much of the blame on her. Instead, I’d say that the filmmakers are to blame. Catwoman is a sloppy and messy piece of work, one that was clearly made with little care or appreciation for its titular character. It comes off as a direct-to-video release and is almost laughable at points. How the studio ever greenlit this project, and got Berry to star, is beyond me.
All that being said, I’m still holding out for another solo effort featuring the character. Anne Hathaway did a pretty good job at portraying Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises and I wouldn’t mind seeing the actress reprise her role in another film. Maybe even have Christopher Nolan direct?
So there you have it, our list of some of the biggest box office bombs, ever. Did we miss any films that should have been on the list? Let us know in the comments below.
