Blockbusters that epically flopped

Hollywood studios invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the hopes of creating the next blockbuster, but not every film can achieve the resounding success of Avatar or Titanic.

Take Joker: Folie à Deux, for example. Despite the first Joker film becoming a billion-dollar hit, the sequel has failed to make the same impact at the box office and is now projected to lose a huge amount of money. But how much?

If you're curious about where Joker: Folie à Deux ranks among the biggest movie flops of all time, read on to discover which movies have lost the most money at the box office and why.

All dollar amounts are in US dollars. Pre-2022 figures have been adjusted for inflation.
