成本破億電影。



以下就以在美國上映的順序，陸續介紹2013年的票房失利電影

----------------

美國上映時間：1月18日

South Korean director Kim Jee-woon made his American directorial debut with
The Last Stand, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville. But
Schwarzenegger's box-office muscle isn't what it used to be: The actioner
opened in 10th place domestically with $7.2 million for the four-day Martin
Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The pic earned $48.3 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：1月18日

Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg in an action thriller about political
corruption in New York City didn't make for a pleasantly surprising January
hit. Instead the film, directed by Allen Hughes and budgeted at $35 million,
received generally poor reviews and grossed a soft $30.7 million worldwide in
total.


美國上映時間：2月1日

Released shortly after Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand, Sylvester
Stallone's actioner Bullet to the Head similarly failed to bring in
audiences. Released in the U.S. by Warner Bros., the Walter Hill-directed
film failed to crack the top five at the box office in its first weekend and
ended up grossing only $9 million domestically and $4 million internationally.


美國上映時間：3月1日

Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer failed to kill at the box office,
debuting to $27.2 million domestically in March. Starring Nicholas Hoult, the
fantasy pic's dismal opening drew comparisons to 2012's Battleship and John
Carter. The blow was especially hard because of the film's high cost -- all
told, the price tag was nearly $300 million when factoring in the film's $190
million production budget and hefty marketing spend. It earned $197.7 million
worldwide.


美國上映時間：2月14日

Beautiful Creatures, based on a popular YA novel, had all the makings of
another hot YA film franchise in the vein of Twilight or The Hunger Games.
But instead, the film fizzled at the box office, grossing just $8.9 million
in its North America four-day debut and finishing the weekend in sixth place.
The pic went on to earn only $60 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：3月15日

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, starring Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, wasn't
able to make magic at the box office when it opened in North America on March
15. The Warner Bros. pic opened to a dismal $10.2 million at the domestic box
office, trailing both Oz the Great and Powerful and Halle Berry's thriller
The Call. The magician comedy went on to earn just $24.3 million worldwide to
date.


美國上映時間：3月29日

Another YA adaptation vying to be the next Twilight or Hunger Games franchise-
starter, The Host didn't live up to the Open Road Films hopes when it debuted
stateside this past March. The film, adapted from Twilight author Stephenie
Meyer's novel and starring Saoirse Ronan and Max Irons, grossed $48 million
worldwide.


美國上映時間：5月31日

Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden starred as father and son in Sony’s
sci-fi film, which was a box-office flop when it opened in the U.S. in the
No. 3 spot in May (behind holdover Fast & Furious 6 and newcomer Now You See
Me). With an estimated budget of $130 million, After Earth earned $27.5
million in its debut,and an 11 percent Rotten Tomatoes score. It went on to
earn just $243.8 million worldwide.



美國上映時間：6月28日

Two movies about the White House being under siege turned out to be one too
many. Sony's White House Down -- starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx --
opened just three months after FilmDistrict's Olympus Has Fallen to a dismal
$24.9 million. Roland Emmerich's White House Down cost a pricey $150 million
to produce and went on to make just $205.4 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：7月3日

Disney's The Lone Ranger, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, was a
big-budget production, costing $250 million to make. But it was a train wreck
when it hit theaters in July, opening domestically to a disappointing $29.2
million. When the dust finally settled, the film had earned a sad $260.5
million worldwide.


Just two months after the film flopped in theaters, producer Jerry
Bruckheimer parted ways with Disney after a longtime partnership, but
Bruckheimer didn’t blame the film. “We have a full body of work with them.
It's not about Lone Ranger. It's more about the types of movies Disney is
making, and the types of movies we want to make.”


美國上映時間：7月19日

Headline writers had a field day with the Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds
action film when the $130 million title tanked in its July debut. The
Universal film, directed by Robert Schwentke, was panned by critics and in
September even Bridges admitted to GQ that "the studio made some, uh, choices
that I wouldn't have made." The film wound up grossing $78 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：8月16日

This high-concept corporate thriller thudded with critics prior to its
mid-August release date. A cast featuring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Liam
Hemsworth and Amber Heard wasn't enough to convince late summer moviegoers
to pay for a ticket -- the film failed to crack the top ten at the U.S. box
office in its debut, ultimately grossing less than $15 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：8月21日

Screen Gems and Constantin Film were so confident in the promise of The
Mortal Instruments: City of Bones that the producers announced that work
would already begin on the sequel before the first film had hit theaters. But
after City of Bones opened to a lackluster $14 million over the course of its
five-day opening, producers of the $60 million YA adaptation had to delay a
follow-up.


美國上映時間：8月30日

Released without fanfare in late August, Getaway didn't gain any traction
with moviegoers. The car-chase film, starring Ethan Hawke, Jon Voight and
Selena Gomez, received a C+ CinemaScore from opening weekend audiences in the
U.S. and ultimately grossed less than $11 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：10月4日

Brad Furman's Runner Runner, starring Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, had
a dismal $7.7 million U.S. debut. While there's no doubt that the $30 million
film was hurt by Warner Bros.' Sandra Bullock-George Clooney space epic
Gravity, which debuted to $55.6 million, Runner Runner was expected to open
ahead of where it did, even considering the competitive marketplace. It
earned a weak $62.7 million worldwide.


美國上映時間：10月18日

Despite a cast that boasted Benedict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange, the
WikiLeaks origin story failed to capture the interest of American or global
moviegoers. Assange had publicly expressed his displeasure at his portrayal
in the film. And the Bill Condon-helmed title, which debuted at the Toronto
Film Festival, grossed less than $9 million worldwide theatrically.


美國上映時間：10月25日

A political thriller written by Cormac McCarthy, directed by Ridley Scott and
starring Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz, Michael Fassbender and Cameron Diaz had
plenty of potential. The resulting film, The Counselor, failed to make waves
with critics or audiences in its October debut. The film grossed less than
$17 million domestically and did a little better internationally, giving the
title a worldwide gross of $63 million.


美國上映時間：11月1日

There was plenty of buzz when it was announced that Naomi Watts would be
taking on the iconic role of Princess Diana for an upcoming film. But when
the pic eventually hit theaters, it grossed only $67,754 from 38 theaters for
a bleak location average of $1,708. Diana opened a month earlier in the U.K.,
where it also bombed (one British reviewer called it "car crash" cinema).


美國上映時間：11月27日

A remake of Park Chan-wook's 2003 thriller, the Josh Brolin starrer had
garnered some degree of fan interest prior to its release. But middling
reviews didn't help as the film launched in limited release over Thanksgiving
weekend and failed to make a dent against juggernauts like The Hunger Games:
Catching Fire and Frozen. The Spike Lee-directed title has currently grossed
$4 million worldwide.

要另外說明的是：好萊塢記者報在整理這份名單時，
浪人四七還沒有在美國上檔，不然他應該也有資格進入這份榜單中

心得：整理去年票房失敗電影的網站，說實在話還真不少，
像HitFix使用的字詞就比好萊塢記者報還要直率
http://bit.ly/1f0WaB6

可惜HitFix這些字詞搭配起來的理解難度也比THR網站來得高，
所以我最後還是選了字彙比較容易解讀的THR。
另外也不得不說THR在做年度回顧的專題時還蠻用心的，
不僅用不少角度分析去年好萊塢的電影與音樂，
就連南韓與中國等地的電影市場，也專門開闢了重要事件回顧的專文，
假如我時間允許，也會盡量抽空在版上刊登這些回顧型外電
