Forbes Lists 'Rock the Kasbah' As Biggest Flop of 2015


We're now entering the final weeks of the year; a time when studios begin to take stock of how successful some of their films have been. Or, in some cases, how UNsuccessful they've been. It's those later films that Forbes is looking at now with their list of the least profitable movies of 2015, and at the top of the list is a film that features one of Hollywood's most beloved stars.

Bill Murray's awful, bizarre rock music comedy Rock the Kasbah tops the list of the year's biggest flops (in 2000 theaters), earning a dismal $2.9M on a budget of $15M. Really? That thing cost $15M? It just as easily could have topped the list of worst movies of 2015, and chances are it will in the coming weeks.

You won't be surprised to find Jem and the Holograms also ranking pretty high on the list, along with Cameron Crowe's star-studded dud Aloha, and stoner comedy American Ultra. You probably forgot Sean Penn's action flick The Gunman ever came out; the same with Michael Mann's tech-thriller Blackhat. Check out the full list below.
