List of biggest box office bombs
Encyclopedia
This is a partial list of the biggest box office bomb
s. The films in this list generated the largest box office losses of all time.
Losses have been estimated from the revenues returned from box office sales worldwide subtracting the total costs of the movie including production, marketing, and distribution costs, although many studios do not provide official marketing costs. Other sales such as DVD sales and alternative revenues such as fees for product placement and licensing, are not taken into account. The list is sorted according to losses measured in 2011 US dollars (losses are inflated
with the CPI
from the year of release).

films dominate the losses in the list. Around 23% of the total inflation adjusted losses were generated by Action movies while the corresponding percentage for Comedy, Drama and Science Fiction films is 26%, 24% and 20% respectively. Film genres contributing lower total losses include: Adventure film
s (14%), Fantasy film
