20 Hollywood Summer Blockbusters That Failed Miserably According to Yardbarker

"'Jaws' birthed it. 'Star Wars' codified it. The idea of summer blockbusters has been central to the movie industry for decades. Well, other than 2020, but that's COVID's fault. Summers can sustain multiple blockbusters. Look at 2023. 'Barbie' was the biggest blockbuster, but 'Oppenheimer' was also a huge summer movie, especially for an R-rated biopic. Of course, not every studio's blockbuster dreams pan out. Throughout history, we've had blockbusters that weren't. Some did fine, but not enough to earn that planned sequel. Others were straight-up failures. Here are the movies that failed to live up to the summer blockbuster hype." - yardbarker.com
