Warcraft - $47 million domestic (lol). 

 

This summer has had many movies bomb. Basically nothing without Marvel superheroes or talking animals is working. Star Trek is performing way below the last one, that could be it for the Abrams version of the franchise. 

This is the weakest summer movie season I can remember since maybe ... 1997? 

Care to put the budget of each as well and their WW revenue for us to have a clearer comparison?

Warcraft = $433.0 / $160

Independence Day: Resurgance = $372.8 / $165

The Legend of Tarzan = $311.8 / $180

Alice Through the Looking Glass = $287.0 / $170

TMNT: Out of the Shadows = $236.4 / $135

Star Trek Beyond = $166 / $185

Ghostbusters = $159.6 / $144

The BFG = $112.7 / $140

*all numbers are in millions (obviously)

I included the global box office total for each movie followed by production budgets. I even sorted them into a sort of pecking order for you. While Ghostbusters has done relatively well in English speaking territories the rest of the world has been less receptive which limits its potential. I expect the new Star Trek to move up a couple spots but Ghostbusters will likely remain the second biggest flop of the summer. Most moviegoers aren't interested in this cavalcade of mediocrity, who knew?
