Beloved (1998)
Toni Morrison, the original author of the Beloved novel, deserved better than the treatment his story received. With Danny Glover, Oprah Winfrey, and Thandie Newton in the cast, you would think that this adaptation of such an intensely dramatic story would be foolproof. Hilariously, evil doll slasher Chucky beat the movie overnight at the box office, much to Oprah’s disbelief! Maybe the talk show host should invest in the toy industry…
Cowboys & Aliens (2011)
With almost fifteen years’ worth of creation, Cowboys & Aliens’ lengthy formation period would turn out to be a colossal waste of funds and effort. Even acting legends such as Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford could not save this movie from heading to the scrapheap. The sci-fi Western zapped between $63 and $75 million during its pathetic box office performance.
