En la industria del cine y los medios de comunicación, si una película estrenada en los cines no alcanza el punto de equilibrio por una gran cantidad, se considera una bomba de taquilla (o un fracaso de taquilla), por lo que se pierde dinero para el distribuidor , el estudio y / o la productora.que invirtió en él. Debido al secreto que rodea a los costos y los márgenes de ganancia en la industria cinematográfica, las cifras de pérdidas suelen ser, en el mejor de los casos, estimaciones aproximadas y, a menudo, existen estimaciones contradictorias sobre cuánto ha perdido una película. Para adaptarse a esta incertidumbre, las pérdidas se presentan como rangos cuando este es el caso, y la lista se ordena alfabéticamente en ausencia de un orden definitivo. Debido a que las películas de la lista se han estrenado durante un largo período de tiempo, la inflación de la moneda también es un factor que debe tenerse en cuenta, por lo que las pérdidas se ajustan a la inflación utilizando el Índice de Precios al Consumidor de Estados Unidos para permitir una comparación precisa.
Algunas películas de esta lista recaudaron más que sus presupuestos de producción, pero todavía se consideran fracasos. Esto puede deberse a las prácticas contables de Hollywood que normalmente manipulan las ganancias o mantienen los costos en secreto para evitar acuerdos de participación en las ganancias, [1] pero también es posible que las películas pierdan dinero legítimamente incluso cuando el monto bruto teatral excede el presupuesto. Esto se debe a que un distribuidor no recauda el total bruto y el costo total de una película puede exceder sustancialmente su presupuesto de producción una vez que se tienen en cuenta la distribución y el marketing. Por ejemplo, las declaraciones de impuestos de 2010 para Cinemark Theatres muestran que solo el 54,5 por ciento de los ingresos por entradas se destinaron al distribuidor, y el expositor se quedó con el resto. Si bien el corte del distribuidor variará de una película a otra, un estudio de Hollywood generalmente recaudará la mitad del bruto en los Estados Unidos y menos en otras partes del mundo. El marketing a menudo también representa una parte sustancial del costo total de la imagen: para una película con un presupuesto de tamaño promedio, los costos de promoción y publicidad son típicamente la mitad del presupuesto de producción, y en el caso de películas más pequeñas, no es inusual para el público. el costo de la comercialización sea superior al presupuesto de producción. [2] En algunos casos, una empresa puede obtener ganancias de una bomba de taquilla cuando se tienen en cuenta los ingresos complementarios, como las ventas y el alquiler de medios domésticos , los derechos de transmisión de televisión y las tarifas de licencia, por lo que una película pierde dinero en la caja. la oficina aún puede eventualmente cubrir gastos. [3]
Hay algunas películas notorias por sus grandes presupuestos de producción que comúnmente se cree que son bombas de taquilla, pero que han alcanzado el punto de equilibrio o han obtenido ganancias. Cleopatra casi lleva a la bancarrota a 20th Century Fox con costos de producción y comercialización de 44 millones de dólares y numerosos retrasos. [4] [5] A pesar de convertirse en la película más taquillera de 1963, no pudo recuperar su inversión durante su estreno en cines, [4] y finalmente alcanzó el punto de equilibrio en 1966 cuando Fox vendió los derechos de transmisión televisiva a ABC por $ 5 millones. [6] Los costos totales de Waterworld (1995) excedieron los $ 300 millones y se percibió como un desastre en ese momento, a pesar de recaudar $ 264 millones en todo el mundo. Finalmente, también rompió incluso a través de otras fuentes de ingresos. [7] [8] Estas películas todavía se citan como ejemplos de alto riesgo al evaluar las perspectivas de futuras producciones cinematográficas. [7] Por ejemplo, Cleopatra fue considerada la película que acabó con las películas épicas de gran presupuesto en la década de 1960. [9]
Las mayores bombas de taquilla
La siguiente lista es una lista parcial de bombas de taquilla, basada en presupuestos de producción conocidos (que pueden incluir costos de comercialización y distribución), ingresos brutos de taquilla y pérdidas estimadas a partir de estas cifras o pérdidas documentadas. La lista se limita a películas que se encuentran potencialmente entre las cien principales pérdidas de taquilla, ajustadas por inflación (aproximadamente pérdidas de límite superior de $ 80 millones o más a partir de 2021[actualizar]).
- El sombreado de fondo indica películas que se proyectarán en la semana que comienza el 4 de junio de 2021 en cines de todo el mundo .

With top tickets set at an all-time high of $5.50,Cleopatra had amassed as much as $20 million in such guarantees from exhibitors even before its premiere. Fox claimed the film had cost in total $44 million, of which $31,115,000 represented the direct negative cost and the rest distribution, print and advertising expenses. (These figures excluded the more than $5 million spent on the production's abortive British shoot in 1960–61, prior to its relocation to Italy.) By 1966 worldwide rentals had reached $38,042,000 including $23.5 million from the United States.
