15 Biggest Box-Office Movie Bombs Of The Decade

15. The Mummy

When Marvel proved that cinematic universes were essentially excuses to print money, every studio scoured their owned IP to see what they could cobble together to cash in on the same hype.

Universal fared better than others in this regard, as the studio has the classic monsters, including Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman and The Mummy to bring together for the best monster mash up this side of Abbott and Costello.

Before a single frame was filmed they announced the Dark Universe, which would bring these creatures together. It had a stacked cast, with the likes of Tom Cruise, Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp on board, and it was Cruise's The Mummy that would act as its Iron Man.

Sadly, Universal were more concerned with creating a universe than making good movies, and the remake was an absolute stinker. It struggled to forge an identity and audiences struggled to care, and despite making $400 milly at the box office, ended up $90 million in the red, killing the franchise after just one film.
