From the very beginning of its release, the film’s dismal box office future was seen. Although the film premiered on Christmas Eve, the film only grossed $15 million, even lower than the film that didn’t get as much PR as “Passengers”.

8. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (grossing: $336 million)

​

This movie is adapted from the RPG game of the same name, but from the beginning it was not appreciated, because the investment cost of 30 million USD in Hollywood was just enough to make a normal movie.
