15 Upcoming Movies Destined To Be Box Office Bombs

3. Alita: Battle Angel

Battle Angel
ADV Films

Release Date: July 20, 2018

Budget: $200 million

Even with James Cameron serving as producer, this one's doomed right out of the gate for a number of reason. For starters, director Robert Rodriguez is extremely inconsistent financially, and he's never been given a budget anywhere close to this astronomical figure.

Even if helmed by a safer pair of hands, though, it'd still be apparent that this adaptation of the legendary manga is wildly over-budgeted, because spending $200 million on something so weird is straight-up asking for trouble.

The budget should've been no more than $100 million, especially with the relatively unknown Rosa Salazar playing the lead. And even worse, it's releasing two weeks after Ant-Man and the Wasp and one week before Mission: Impossible 6.

Unless it gets moved into August, Battle Angel is already dead, and basically set to be 2018's biggest box office bomb.

Estimated Box Office: $110 million
