Blade Runner 2049 – $80 million
Here, we have another sequel that couldn’t live up to the original. Blade Runner 2049 came out in 2017, just 35 years after the original Blade Runner had left the audience stunned with the visuals and slow yet meaningful plot. Even though people have heard of Blade Runner, it didn’t necessarily mean that they were interested in a sequel.
And that last lack of interest definitely showed after the first week of its premiere. Day after day, ticket sales dropped. The final estimates show that Blade Runner 2049 wound up costing the studio $80 million. Although the cast did an excellent acting job, it didn’t leave a cultural impact as its predecessor did.
