2024 promised to be a great year for Hollywood, with high expectations for many blockbuster films. However, several highly anticipated releases failed to live up to the hype, delivering disappointing box office performances. Let’s take a look at the biggest Hollywood flops of 2024.
1. Joker 2 – $144M
The sequel to Joker struggled to match the success of its predecessor. Despite a star-studded cast and a dark tone, the pacing and storyline left audiences underwhelmed, resulting in a major box office disappointment.
2. Furiosa – $119.6M
The prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa, failed to meet high expectations. While its visuals and action were praised, the convoluted plot and weak character development turned audiences off, leading to a lackluster box office performance.
3. Borderlands – $80M
Inspired by the popular video game, Borderlands aimed to captivate with high-energy action but fell flat. Chaotic pacing, uneven performances, and a lack of strong character development led to critical reviews and weak ticket sales.
4. Megalopolis – $75M
Francis Ford Coppola’s ambitious passion project, Megalopolis, failed to connect with audiences. Disjointed storytelling and a lack of character focus resulted in critical backlash and commercial failure.
5. Kraven The Hunter – $71M
The Spider-Man spin-off Kraven The Hunter failed to resonate with audiences. Flat character development, inconsistent tone, and a weak connection to the Spider-Man universe contributed to its poor box office performance.
