| Movie | Director | Explanation | Estimated Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Side Story (2021) | Steven Spielberg | Nicknamed "Woke Side Story," this movie is so "woke" that the audience is denied English subtitles during the Spanish dialog. | "Lost 63.2 million of its 100 million dollar budget" in 2021,[1] plus a massive loss on marketing and promotion expenses. |
| Heaven’s Gate (1980) | Michael Cimino | Disparaging portrayal of ranchers opposing immigrants; a tedious 3 hours and 39 minutes long, the movie contains offensive sexual violence and senseless nudity. | Box office revenue of only $3.4M on a production budget of $44M. |
| Dumbo (2019) | Tim Burton | An attempt at a "politically correct" version of the original, it achieved a 46% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was generally criticized by movie reviewers. | Needed $500M to break even, came in at $353.5M estimated worldwide for a huge loss. |
| Chaos Walking (2021) | Doug Liman | Portrays a pretty young woman in an unattractive way with masculine conduct, and with a plot reminiscent of the atheistic, dire view of humanity in the novel Lord of the Flies. And the producers thought people would want to watch this?? | Box office of only $26.9M on a production budget expense of $125M |
| Mommie Dearest (1981) | Frank Perry | An adaptation of the biography of the same name, portraying actress Joan Crawford as an abusive and manipulative mother | Was nominated that year for nine Razzies, winning five (four outright and one tie, including Worst Picture); later won Razzie for Worst Picture of the Decade (1980's; it was nominated for two other decade awards) and further nominated for Worst "Drama" of Our First 25 Years Razzie, as well as winning three out of five awards from Stinkers Bad Movie Awards (again including Worst Picture) |
