Predicting The 10 Biggest Box Office Bombs Of 2019

8. Charlie's Angels

Kristen Stewart
IFC Films

Budget: $90 million (estimated)

Box Office Prediction: $175 million (projected $5 million loss)

Rebooting the Charlie's Angels franchise in the current climate is actually a pretty smart idea, yet it's tough to have faith in the little we know about the project so far.

For starters, director Elizabeth Banks has never helmed a film of this presumed scale before - with a budget likely in the vicinity of $90-100 million - while leads Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska aren't bankable names in the slightest.

Charlie's Angels is also releasing in a tough slot, landing on November 1 and just a week before another entry into a popular spy movie franchise, Kingsman: The Great Game.

A strong trailer could certainly turn around some of the pessimism, but on paper it's headed for failure. If Paul Feig's Ghostbusters could only make $229.1 million with comedy titans like Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, what hope does this have?
