Discover the films that in 2022 did not enjoy the predilection of the audiences, becoming the flops in the cinema during the year that is about to end
Cinema is made up of success stories, but there are also box office or critical failures, which were not lacking in 2022.
From long-awaited productions to spin-offs of spoiled characters, some productions were not spared from low grosses, or a bad story that took them off the charts throughout the year.
The SMASH team shares their list of movie flops in 2022
Morbius
What was hope in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe became uncertainty thanks to the Living Vampire tape, which generated more doubts than certainty for Marvel and Sony, a studio that continues to build its Spider-Verse.
Matt Smith took the spotlight before a Jared Leto who, although he knew how to play the role of Michael Morbius, the story and the supporting cast failed at the time of execution, so the omens for films like Kraven and Madame Web
Jurassic World: Dominion
The end of the franchise that amazed the world in 1993 did not live up to expectations, since the script was very weak and the cast that was integrated between the actors of the first trilogy and the new members of the saga simply did not chemistry.
lightyear
Everything indicates that the Toy Story formula ran out on the big screen, since the spin-off dedicated to one of the main characters of the saga raised expectations, but due to the controversies over gender ideologies than over the plot.
Leaving the controversy aside, the children’s audience did not respond to the call of the Pixar studios, which found in Lightyear a failure that went to infinity and beyond.
Babylon
What happens when a project of more than 80 million dollars only raises six million at the box office? Exactly! It becomes a failure, and Babylon is the clearest example of this.
With a great cast led by Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt (plus the return of Tobey Maguire to the big screen) under the direction of Damien Chazelle, Babylon failed to take off at the box office, making it the flop of 2022.
Amsterdam
Another example where the cast and the director is not a guarantee of success at the box office. David Russel assembled a first-rate cast headed by Christian Bale and Margot Robbie, where one of the scam stories that shocked the United States was adapted.
However, the public’s response was quite cold before one of the most ambitious projects of 20th Century Studios post-pandemic, which places it on the list of failures of 2022.
a strange world
This Disney proposal is among the worst releases in the history of the Miguelito Mouse studios, derived from the lack of promotion in its release to movie theaters, something that reflected the lack of confidence of the executives in this film that passed without pain or glory.
pinocchio
Calm people, calm Puebla! We are referring to the live-action version produced by Walt Disney, which is a carbon copy of the animated film from the 40s. Tom Hanks as Geppeto does not do badly, but faithfully adapting an animated classic is not always good idea (and we omit the finger joke from La Familia P.Luche)
