SLIDESHOW: John Carter, The Lone Ranger and Other Box Office Flops

Depending on who you talk to (and which publications you read), different films will be mentioned as the "biggest flops." Many have argued that Zyzzyx Road, the little-known indie flick that stars Katherine Heigl, was the biggest flop of all time. Though the film's exact revenue is unclear, it appears to have earned somewhere between $20 (yes, the price of roughly two movie tickets) and £230,000. While its producers may have been disappointed, is that really a flop? If no one had heard of the film before its release, and if it only played in a few theaters, can it really be compared to the likes of Disney's DIS John Carter? With that in mind, the following list of box office flops will focus on films with big stars (spoiler alert: Eddie Murphy makes an appearance), big production budgets and/or massive ad campaigns.
