The biggest flop so far this year is Mars Needs Moms which had a production budget of $150million dollars and only made $39.5 at the box office.


I was just never sure of how much Disney took on because without looking because I am on a horrible computer, I believe that they took over some company and that is where they got Gnomeo and Juliet and this movie. Luckily for them Gnomea did a little bit better. Wiki says Gnomeo was 36 million budget so they did well on that one.


Gnomeo & Juliet was made without any Disney money and they only have a minor role in the movie as a whole as Toustone Pictures is the distributor of the movie in the US.  The bad part about Mars Needs Moms bombing so hard is that it caused the cancellation of the remake of The Yellow Submarime which had some good potential and would have had a lot more global appeal.  Disney had the dobious distinction of being involved with two of the biggest bombs of the past ten years and all time, since The Alamo also bombed big time in 2004 with a budget of $145million and box office revenue of $25.8 million.
