10. Zack and Miri Make a Porno: $24m (budget) / $29m (gross) It turned a small profit, and will no doubt make more in DVD sales, but given the stars, director, and plot, doesn't it seem like it should have made more already?

9. Babylon A.D.: $70m (budget) / $22.5m (gross) It'll break even when you add in the worldwide figures, but when even the director hates the movie, it's bad news.

8. Over Her Dead Body: $10m (budget) / $7.6m (gross) This came out in 2008? Really?

7. Mad Money: $22m (budget) / $20.7m (gross) Considering the almost constant TV ads leading up to the opening, investors gotta be mad it didn't make more money.

6. The X-Files: I Want to Believe: $30m (budget) / $20.1m (gross) Sorry, Chris Carter. We wanted to believe, but you were a few years too late with this.

5. Bangkok Dangerous: $45m (budget) / $15.3m (gross) It's Nicolas Cage in a movie called Bangkok Dangerous. What more can be said?

4. The Rocker: $30m (budget) / $6.4m (gross) It had a lot of the right notes, but it didn't rock the box office.

3. Miracle at St. Anna: $45m (budget) / $7.9 (gross) No miracle saved this one for Spike Lee.

2. Meet Dave: $60m (budget) / $11.8m (gross) We didn't expect this to make much, but someone must have.

1. City of Ember: $55m (budget) / $7.7m (gross) It looked amazing, it had interesting actors, but next to nobody saw it. Did you even see ads for it?
