The losers films in history Doing expensive movies is a real gamble. The budget of the "Titanic" James Cameron is 200 million. Dollars. Taking inflation estimate and the amount fifteen years ago was even bigger than today. During filming, most experts predict a mega spectacular failure. Journalists tell stories about the tyrannical nature of Cameron, who kept "poor Leo" (DiCaprio - note. Auto.) Hours in the icy water and difficult stunts copied cars 2 the movie several cars 2 the movie times. But art wants victims. cars 2 the movie And it turns out that are worth the hardship because "Titanic" became the most watched film in history (at least until the emergence of "Avatar," which is also Cameron) and won 11 awards cars 2 the movie "Oscar". But not every movie is "Titanic." The latest example of the huge financial risks to the so-called major studios. blockbusters (superskapi movies) in Hollywood is "John Carter: Between Two Worlds", which it mildly below expectations. The confused story about a soldier from the US Civil War, which falls on Mars, worth about 350 million. Dollars (250 million. Budget plus 100 million. Marketing costs), and its previous global revenues are about 240 million. Dollars. "The cars 2 the movie plot is incomprehensible, cars 2 the movie the characters are absurd, the film continues 2 hours and 15 minutes and these 2 hours and 15 minutes are boring, boring, boring ', does not hide his opinion of VBC film critic Mark Karmodi. Poor ticket cars 2 the movie sales forced Walt Disney to write off 200 million. Dollars for the quarter, of which 120 million. For "John Carter," though the film is a screen of only three weeks. Given that only marketing budget science fiction film is 100 million. Dollars and theaters harvested half of the revenue will little chance of a "John Carter" to have a surplus. Usually revenues must be at least two times larger than the budget to have some profit. That film should gain at least 700 mln. Dollars, which has so far achieved by just over 50 productions. Naturally, when account whether a film is a failure or a hit, many experts forget and future revenues from DVD and Blu-ray, contracts themed toys, etc. Until then, have a great time. "Always question remains for recording in Hollywood. One can never be sure how much cost these movies because studios are not very transparent in the disclosure of data," says Keith told Reuters Simantan, editor of the popular movie site IMDb. But there is no doubt that "John Carter" will go down in history as a failure. Interestingly, six of the top 15 in the Hall of Shame are made after 2005 - a period during cars 2 the movie which Hollywood focuses mainly on the ultra expensive special effects and simple stories. Among the biggest failures are "The cars 2 the movie Adventures of Pluto Nash" with Eddie Murphy, "Sahara" cars 2 the movie with Matthew Makonahi and Penelope Cruz and animated "Mars needs moms." But the first place and even a place in the Guinness Book holds "Island thugs" with Geena Davis, whose losses were 147 million. Dollars. Disney sources claim that CEO Roger Yeager categorically stated that no state individual culprits. But "John Carter" is an example of a whole series of wrong decisions that are repeated and repeated in Hollywood. No need for a scenario First is the scenario. Very often "talking heads" in the studios forget that story well told is a prerequisite for almost certain success. But in the case of "John Carter," it is more than confusing: a soldier from the American Civil War falls on Mars, where he meets green four-aliens implicated in the local political infighting, meets a beautiful princess and kills many "bad". The problem is that the writers (plural) wanted to retain much of the original work of Edgar Rice Burroughs cars 2 the movie (who is far better known as Tarzan) a hundred years ago. But these days it just looks and sounds strange. And if the script is not at least a little better, no huge budgets, beautiful stars, spectacular special cars 2 the movie effects and cinematography can not save the movie. All power in the second director, Hollywood never learn when and how to give full authority to the directors. In many cases, such freedom is a great plus. Example: the creator of "Dark Knight" cars 2 the movie Christopher cars 2 the movie Nolan and director of "The Social Network," David Fincher. But there are opposite examples. The "John Carter" is a "babe," directed by Andrew Stanton, who previously had no experience in feature film and is done only animated hits like "Wal-and" and "Finding Nemo." But at Disney did not think for a moment before his dada
