Warner Bros
The fall movie season has started strong as Warner Bros.’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel “It” has followed its record-breaking $ 123.4 million opening weekend by becoming the highest-grossing R-rated horror of all time two weeks later.
But there are numerous titles that have not found the same success.
For every 2017 hit like “It,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Wonder Woman,” there are movies that didn’t find audiences like “CHiPs,” “The House,” and “mother!”
Here are the 10 worst box office earners so far this year (compare them to our list from the halfway point of the year).
Note: This selection is limited to only those titles released by the six major studios that have played in more than 2,000 screens for at least two weekends. Grosses below are all US earnings from Box Office Mojo.
