**Top 10 Film Flops: Movies That Failed at the Box Office**
The film industry is known for its highs and lows, and sometimes even the most promising movies can end up as box office flops. Here are ten films that failed to impress audiences and critics alike, resulting in significant financial losses for their producers.
### 1. **Cutthroat Island (1995)**
Directed by Renny Harlin, _Cutthroat Island_ was a swashbuckling adventure starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine. Despite its high production budget of $98 million, the film lost an estimated $210 million. It holds the Guinness World Record for the worst box office bomb ever and is often cited as a reason for Hollywood’s aversion to pirate-themed movies for years to come.
### 2. **Mortal Engines (2018)**
Directed by Christian Rivers, _Mortal Engines_ was a post-apocalyptic film based on a novel by Philip Reeve. With a budget of $110 million, it lost an estimated $212 million.

Directed by John McTiernan, _The 13th Warrior_ was an adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel _Eaters of the Dead_.
