15 Biggest Box-Office Movie Bombs Of The Decade

5. Jack The Giant Slayer (2013)

I'm still not entirely sure what Jack the Giant Slayer was supposed to be. Warner Bros.' big-screen adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk was retooled to fit the personality of your average big-budget action-adventure family film (meaning, it had no personality), with Nicholas Hoult in the lead role and Bryan Singer behind the camera.

WB ponied up over $200 million for the project, $100 million more than what they paid for the similarly epic Clash of the Titans, which didn't exactly win them Avengers-level box office receipts a couple years prior.

Fairytales don't really sell, especially when they're filtered through the Hollywood live-action machine like this was, and after Marvel had audiences smitten with superheroes, nobody turned out to see Warners'. tentpole, which lost up to $140 million for the company and co-financiers.
