Can't imagine the directors name helped sell the film very well either.

Looks superficially very similar to the recent Cruise vehicle. Maybe audiences are getting bored of post-apocalyptic Earth? Haha, what am I saying, that would be like people getting bored of zombies*.
I read that this is the first Will Smith starring summer blockbuster to not go straight to no. 1 since 1993. Lol.

Sunday: Full weekend estimates are in with “Man of Steel” scoring $113.1 million from Friday to Sunday, and $125.1 million since opening on Thursday night.

SUNDAY PM/MONDAY AM 12TH UPDATE: Sunday matinees were running on par with Saturdays which is highly unusual. But apparently Father’s Day and Man Of Steel “make a great combo. Best Father’s Day combo of all time”, said Warner Bros Pictures President, Domestic Distribution, Dan Fellman. “Amazing result for Sunday. No drop from Saturday”! With $36.3M on […]
Another update as the film pulls further ahead of projections, its only slightly behind Avengers in the US and has already beaten Iron Man 3's opening in the UK. Already worldwide figures are circling $150m

Last year, just days after the film had opened, Disney Pictures announced they were essentially writing off $200 million due to the failure of “John Carter”. Now, box office experts and rival studio insiders are predicting a loss of around $150 million for the studio based on final opening numbers for “The Lone Ranger”. Ranger’s […]
Lone Ranger is lining up to be Disneys biggest flop since John Carter.

I haven't seen the Lone Ranger and likely won't but, to be fair to it, it's a bugger of a year to bring out a movie. There are just so many big movies this year that Lone Ranger has got to be pretty low down anybody's list. It's a damned movie because it can't compete with the biggies and yet doesn't appear to be offering something different for those who don't want to go and see the big action movies.

Pacific Rim lost the race to beat the family films, in total it gained $90m with a reasonable US release success but poor UK. China etc still await which could boost figures, depends as well now very much on word of mouth
Man of Steel has passed the $600m mark which puts it somewhere near Pirates 1 level of popularity when the final tally hits in a few weeks.

With the Labor Day holiday weekend over, so is the official Summer movie going season. The box-office figures are now all in and, for Hollywood anyway, it was the “best Summer ever” with $4.71 billion in domestic revenue alone from the first weekend in May through until yesterday. That’s a new record, up 8% on […]

I usually like your posts but unsure why youve put those 3 as the biggest flops unless there is another story you havent linked
Considering they are the lower end of the highest domestic earners and it doesn't say flops
Plus Lone Ranger isn't In the bottom 3 its 4th bottom
Is it spin or just stating you dont like Lone Ranger

Not gonna lie, my eyes completely glossed over Elysium Didn't even notice it.
The link talks in domestic terms but even with international tallies the results are much the same.
Turbo is coming towards a rest, currently at $153m having cost $130m just to make so the studio will lose out on it.
Elysium is in a similar boat but a little better than Turbo due to a little better international business
Lone Ranger is in the same boat again but it's also plagued by speculation it cost more than the official budget states ala Superman Returns so could be the biggest cash loss of the four (given the bigger marketing costs too)
I'm not too sure what the crack is with The Butler though, seems in okay condition given the limited release.
Haven't seen Lone Ranger though so blame it on clumsy posting
