The 8 Biggest Box Office Bombs Of Summer 2016

While several films such as Finding Dory, The Secret Lives of Pets and even Suicide Squad (despite its poor critical reception) did some very impressive business at the box office, this summer season was packed full of dud movies. Interestingly, many of them were films that were predicted to be big successes but, in the event, fell someway short of the mark.

Worldwide box office: $242.8 million

Perhaps even more than most years, 2016 has been a battle of the brands. The stronger the brand, the better the film will do. This year, then, turtle power was not enough to cut it and the latest TMNT movie did not make as much as its predecessor did in 2014.

Though his attempts to reboot beloved 80s kid shows turn off a lot of fans, movies with Michael Bay’s name on them do tend to rake in the cash (even if he is just the producer). This wasn’t so with Out of Shadows, however, despite the movie managing to be slightly better received than the messy first movie in this rebooted series.

So unimpressive was the total gross for this one that it seems likely that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be disappearing back into their shells for some time to come.
