Is it really the stars who lost millions to the studios, of the movie’s box office performance? The way I see it, you can’t really blame it all on the stars in the leading role. Because I can tell you right now; even if Ezra Miller Didn’t have any legal problems, The Flash would have bombed in the box office, just like Green Lantern. Green Lantern was a poor written script, and The Flash was a half ass written adaptation of the flashpoint comic. The difference: the writers in Green Lantern really fucked up the script that Ryan Reynolds was never gonna take take that superhero film across the gold line. And I’m pretty sure all fighter pilots hated that movie, and prefer top gun ever since. And the writers for The Flash, shouldn’t have adapted the flashpoint storyline-and that’s because you do not adapt a storyline like the flashpoint comic in a 144 minute runtime. If the flash had a longer run time the writers could’ve had a chance of not writing something with little effort or care. So I wouldn’t blame it all on the lead especially if it was poor casting or poor writing. The only thing the lead can do to screw up is loosing their own investors that invested in them.

I will consider this CLICKBAIT. These actors weren't the cause, they were victims of crappy movie direction and used for their celebrity status to make extra money or to try and fix what was unfixable. Change the title to something more accurate instead of baiting for views.

Come on, you can’t blame ALL the actors on this list for being solely responsible for each of the studios for losing money. They tried their best.

That's true. But if the actor can't see that the material they're being asked to transfer onto the screen is bad, and still chooses to take on the role then they do deserve to accept some of the blame.

I actually liked the 13th Warrior

I think Johnny Depp is allowed The Lone Ranger flop, since he’s made Hollywood a kajillion dollars with the Pirates movies alone.

I'd rather watch The Lone Ranger than Sweeney Todd or The Libertine.

It's funny how people will blame everyone but the director when a movie bombs critically and/or financially, but will give the directly almost all the praise when the movie is a hit. Funny, that.

I don't know how you can blame the actors for movie flops when it's usually a bad plot/story that tanks a movie

I blame the last one on poor marketing. And the ones that studios put into theaters during the beginning of Covid didn't standba chance.

The 13th warrior is great , and considered a cult classic now.

No Waterworld? Shoulda been number 1.

I'm an Adam Sandler fan (love a lot of his movies) but I could only watch a few minutes of Jack and Jill.

Taylor Kitsch really shouldn’t be the blame. He was good in both, they just weren’t popular.

Arnold sacrificed the Terminator to become the Govenator long before Dark Fate.

John Carter was a good flick!

The celebrities didn't kill these movies. The studios did.

I do, and always will love The 13th Warrior which is better than the source material. If they would have stayed closer to the source material for John Carter they probably wouldn't have created such a dud of a film.

I think part of the problem was the title 'John Carter.' Too generic. The book series is from a bygone era and this generation didn't have a frame of reference - I had to explain to a lot of people about the 'Warlord of Mars' series after they'd said: Who the hell is "John Carter?"

I kinda like the 13th Warrior. 😳

a lot of writers and producers are good at dodging blame.

It wasn’t geena Davis fault? It was the story and director more. She made a great comeback with a long kiss goodnight next year. 😅

Bad writing, dumb messages are more to blame, by far.

I liked "John Carter" -- though they should have kept the original title "John Carter of Mars"

Don't blame the actors for crappy, boring movies. I also love Pluto Nash. A movies success also greatly depends on the timing of the release. And Johnny Depp as Tonto was great.

Most of this movies fails do the script and direction and not the main actor

​@@anthonycoleman9593Waterworld had a profit after international B.O. numbers were figured in.

I seriously thought that was John Leguizamo in the thumbnail.

I like 13th warrior, it's a retelling story about Beowulf

I really don’t understand the decision of the studio to hire two unknowns for john carter. A movie with that budget, you would think they would get two leads with star power.

13th warrior is the best! still watching it time to time )

Wonder Woman 84 was so underwhelming. It’s just the Midas fable.

Basing a Movie Flopping on 1 actor is just plain rude The director is at the helm but has to answer to studio executives and they’re into making money so sometimes cut corners

John Carter failed because of horrible marketing. I remember when it came out and thinking don't know what that is and it looks really weird. If I had known more about the story and source material at the time I would have given it a chance. Cuttthroat Island and 13th Warrior were good movies. I enjoyed Lone Ranger despite Depp's weird take on Tonto.

Remember when WatchMojo had credibility? Me neither.

King Arthur is underrated. It's a Guy Ritchie heist flick set against a fantasy backdrop. It's great.

23 seconds into this list, and I can already conclude that this list should be called: "10 Actors we blame for failing movies because we don't understand how movies are made"

John Carter was too good to have suffered such a loss.

Cutthroat Island was actually a better movie than most of the the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. IDK why so few watched it. Everyone I know that DID watch it liked it.

Wonder Women 1984 which came out in 2020? Most cinemas around the world were closed from the end of March 2020 because of Covid restrictions. If it came out a year earlier it might have been a hit

I feel like Wonder Woman shouldn't count.

"Cutthroat Island" was great, highly underrated.

I love WatchMojo but I found this to be a very poor list. To say a movie lost money solely on a single actor, leading or otherwise is absurd. By all means I am not saying it is not possible but the bulk of these films had nothing to do with the acting of the lead. It can be blamed on several factors, poor marketing, poor direction, producing conflicts and writing.

Everyone in my family loves The 13th Warrior - we’ve never understood the lukewarm reception.

The 13th Warrior was a good movie.

Taylor Kitsch was amazing at playing David Koresh.

The saddest on the list is John Carter - the books were great and it had a lot of franchise potential. Hope it can be revived

I’ve only seen Terminator: Dark Fate, Wonder Woman 1984, Cutthroat Island, The 13th Warrior, The Lone Ranger and John Carter from the list.

I LOVED “John Carter”; I wanted sequels of “John Carter”!!!

I was expecting to see Ben & J. Lo here for Gigli.

To this day, I can't figure out why 13th Warrior gets such a bad rap. Within reason, the movie follows the Crichton book (Eaters of the Dead) fairly well. The cast performs well and the action sequences are spectacular. I re-watch it several times a year, I tink it may have a bit of a cult status.

Charlie Hunnam was failed by Hollywood. He absolutely had the ability - and arguably still does - to be a movie star, but even good projects he's good in like _Crimson Peak_ don't really help him get as many eyes as he deserves.

13th warrior and king arthur are great movies

All the celebrities WON!

taylor kitsch is an underrated actor , the movies writing and directing were to blame not him

Not every movie project is destined for the big bucks category, no matter who happens to be the star. The world of entertainment has grown shallow indeed when the worth of a movie is based solely on the money it makes for the studio.

My favorite is "Raise the Titanic". Based on the bestseller by Clive Cussler. This movie was such a stinker that it bankrupted the British studio that produced it. At least it had a great John Barry score and a fantastic opening: a montage of pictures of the building of the Titanic with that amazing score by this 5 time Oscar winning composer.

You're forgetting that even though they lose money on some movies, they're still gonna be here forever, and somehow make money. Not saying they will ever get the money back though.

I’d say the studios are more of the reason these movies were huge failures. Most of the actors involved were just taking the payday cause they enjoyed the idea of what they signed on for or actually cared and tried their best with what they had to work with

I thought Waterworld starring Kevin Costner was the biggest box office flop??

To be fair, a lot of these movies just had really poor writing/an uninteresting story. I don't think the actors should be blamed for doing their best with what they had. For example, I HATE a lot of the DCEU movies because of their poor writing; but I WILL certainly praise the various actors in them for their performances, because they did very well with what they had, and at least TRIED. Which is more than you can say for the writers... 😒

"FX's greatest show, Fargo" There, fixed it for you.

Seems like a fair number of these are budget and/or overspending problems, not actor problems.

I thought it was about the actors, but who drove the movie on screen and off screen and had huge influence/control, an example John Trevolta, like his movie Battlefield Earth. Another one also would be Kevin Costner not sure if it was Water World or another movie, another could be Tom Cruise for his 'The Mummy'' which killed the planned "Monsterverse"which i was really looking forward too.

I still liked WW84, The Lone Ranger, and John Carter.

The problem with most of these movies isn't the actors, it's the writing and the obvious studio interference. Jungle Cruise was alright. Mind blowing? Not at all. But it was fun. Emily Blunt and Jack Whitehall were awesome as brother and sister. Charlie Hunnam however, is box office poison.

A lot of these aren’t the fault of the celebrity

The movies or franchises are not just made or created by actors and actresses.The Directors,producers the studios how they promote the movies.

The bombs are a team loss. So many people are important to any movie's success it's hard to lay this at the feet of the LEAD actor/actress. They didn't write the script or green light useless special effects driving up the cost of production, or release the film and stream it at the same time.

Jake Gyllenhaal in "Prince of Persia"?

How are actors being blamed for losing money durint covid, when theaters were shut down and nobody had money to stream?

What about every Lindsay Lohan movie since Herbie Fully Loaded?

What they need to do is advertise the movies on TV. That way people can see what the movie is about.

My friend saw "Cutthroat Island" and called it "Cut My Own Throat Island". He didn't like it. ;)

Not one of those actors lost money in those films.

No Battlefield Earth? No Waterworld? Sin City 2?

"Celebrities who lost studios the most money" You're saying that like the actor wrote and directed the movie. And, also was in charge of marketing the movie. And also was in charge of setting and spending the budget. This is just some person who said yes to a movie that didn't turn out to do well.

is till dont understand why people hated john carter. it wasn't a masterpiece but it was a good fun movie imo. even battleship was fun to watch.

I love "The 13th Warrior". I hate that it was such a flop. It is very entertaining.

Thought Waterworld would be on here.

Most of these stars have filmographies in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. I'm sure they'll be fine.

Has more to do w studios overbudgeting & bungling films, actually.

Flops or not I loved both The 13th Warror and John Carter.

With big money, talent, crew, effects, studios, etc.... comes big risks. You can NEVER guarantee or faultlessly predict big success.... YES.., the financial score rules.... BUT... be careful.... From the stands, hindsight ALWAYS looks twenty-twenty..... If you care.., then don't be blindly critical....

Why do studios always go back to the same properties ,even after they bomb at the box office. Where is a list of top 10 of movies they keep making and no- ne is asking for.

The 13th warrior was a flop? Aw man , i thought the flick was dope . Whatever, i still like the flick.

Ezra Miller in The Flash movie

Why do we blame the actors and not the studios they're the ones in charge of writing and story telling the actors just follow the script.

No Liz Berkely in Showgirls?

and than Taylor starred as Gambit in X-men origins Wolverine which ALSO flopped. Poor guy can't catch a break lol

I wouldn't blame the actors because Hollywood enjoys beating a dead horse sometimes it's lame plot lines and lame scripts because Hollywood loves regurgitating the same plot lines.

The producers and cast have to cringe at the finished product and know the movie will bomb hard.

Film is a collaborative effort. There are many moving pieces that can fail from production through opening night. It seems unfair and not entirely accurate to say a film failed because the star didn't compel audiences to see it. It makes for a decent youtube video though.

I like cutthroat island *Shrugs*
