Hellboy – $40 million
The original Hellboy film released in 2004 performed somewhat well at the box office, bringing in about $100 million. The problem theatres had with the movie was that the word “Hell” was in the title. Since it came out at the same time as The Passion of the Christ, theaters thought that the two movies would send mixed messages.
Fast forward 15 years later and the reboot of Hellboy comes out. Now, The Passion of Christ was long gone, and nothing could get in Hellboy’s way except for itself. The reboot that nobody wanted made a measly $55 million from its $50 million budget.
