The 10 Biggest Box Office Bombs Of Summer 2017

Cars 3

Budget: $175 million

Domestic gross: $151.6 million

Worldwide gross: $344.5 million

Pixar have few blemishes on their ever-impressive filmography, but the Cars franchise has always been of lesser stock than the rest of their movies. At least critically, that is, as the first two Cars films were lapped up by the studio’s loyal global audience. Cars 3, though… not so much.

After beginning the race at full pelt at No. 1 in domestic charts with $50 million, Cars 3 soon petered out and barely made it to the $150 million benchmark for Pixar movies in domestic gross. Overall, it brought in just enough to earn it the dubious honour of being the second lowest-grossing Pixar film of all-time (with just $20 million more than 2015’s The Good Dinosaur).

Don’t expect the studio to be crying too much over Cars 3’s disappointing box office, though. Luckily for Disney and Pixar, they most likely made their money back with heaps of tie-in merchandise.
