Tomorrowland – $155 million
So far, we’ve learned that casting an A-list actor doesn’t guarantee the best results. If any company should know this, it’s Disney. They’ve messed up so many times that you’d think one of the execs would think carefully before greenlighting another movie. But in 2015, Disney had yet to learn its lesson, and it wound up costing them $155 million.
Disney had the utmost confidence that George Clooney would make them a ton of money. That’s why the company wasn’t afraid to throw $190 million to produce Tomorrowland. However, it only made $209 million in ticket sales. And the rotten cherry on top was that it only received 50% on RT.
