The All-Time Biggest Box Office Duds

By Christopher Matthews | @crobmatthews | March 20, 2012 | +

Walt Disney Pictures

Walt Disney Studios announced Monday that it would be taking a $200 million, second quarter write-down related to the science-fiction flop John Carter. If the film continues to be such an epic dud at the box office, it will force the studio to record an operating loss between $80 million and $120 million for the quarter. John Carter provides a stark reminder that profiting from art is not an exact science. If the $200 million figure comes to fruition, this box-office debacle will win the dubious distinction of biggest box office loser of all time. Here are the ten movies that have lost the most money so far, but watch out guys, John Carter is catching up fast.
