\"Rosario<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> recently compiled a list of the biggest flops of the decade<\/a> and the ‘winner’ was The Adventures of Pluto Nash<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of project that gives studio executives night sweats just by thinking about it.<\/p>\n

It was a 2002 comedy directed by Ron Underwood<\/a> (who since seems to have done mostly TV) starring Eddie Murphy<\/a> as the owner of a ‘lunar nightclub’.<\/p>\n

Made for an estimated cost of $100 million it ended up grossing $4.4 million in the US. Its total worldwide gross was about $7.1 million.\u00a0Ouch.<\/p>\n

It is so bad that you can’t even find a trailer for it on YouTube<\/a>. Instead check out this German TV promo.<\/p>\n

Although Murphy has had his fair share of box office misfires across the decade (Meet Dave<\/a>, Imagine That<\/a>) it should be noted he still has a decent box office track record (Shrek<\/a>,\u00a0Norbit<\/a>, Dr Dolittle<\/a>, Daddy Day Care<\/a>) – even if the films are cack.<\/p>\n

The other flops on the list are Battlefield Earth<\/a>, Land of the Lost<\/a>,\u00a0Gigli<\/a>, Town and Country<\/a>, Catwoman<\/a>, The Invasion<\/a>, Rollerball<\/a> (the 2002 remake), Grindhouse<\/a> and The Spirit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
