    		 Here's a list of films that were box office bombs in the US.

    I must say, there are some films that completely caught me by suprise, but check out the list yourself.

      		 Nothing on that list is a suprise to me. I don't really think you can fairly call a movie a bomb unless you take in to account the amount of money it has made worldwide. The American box office alone doesn't much any more.

        		 A lot of the more recent movies probably covered any gaps with DVD sales.

          		 Geez, I just hope Soul Plane or any of Paris Hilton's movies aren't on that list.

                		 Wow, I was surprised to see The Wizard of Oz on there.

                  		 That is interesting. But a lot of those I thought were direct to video sales.

                    		 Yeah, I remember hearing how "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" with Eddie Murphy was the biggest bomb ever considering its huge budget.

                    I laughed out loud at "Zyzzyx Road"...how could it only have grossed $30? Did no one who made the movie buy it/see it? :lol:

                        $30 includes the $10 which was refunded to the member of the crew who went to see the movie. It actually only grossed $20.

                              Well, to be fair, it was only shown once in one theater for 6 days in some middle of nowhere Texas town...
