Death Wish (2018)

You may remember a particularly grizzly 70s thriller called Death Wish. Well, Hollywood decided that it (of all classic movies) needed a reboot. With a rather low budget, to begin with, the revenge flick’s new form only made a profit of $4 million off a budget of $30 million. The film tanked due to its unfortunate release just days following the Las Vegas mass shooting tragedy.

Ben-Hur (2016)

You might have realized by now that reboots of old films often turn out cataclysmically. The reboot of Ben-Hur resulted in somewhere between $75 and $121.7 million in losses. The Ben Hur movie is regarded as one of the most abysmal reboots ever made. Some epics should be left in the 20th century!
