All three joined Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn and Bill Murray in
headlining what Forbes called Hollywood's biggest turkeys of the
year, based on the percentage of their budgets they earned back
at the theater as of Nov. 18.
Leading the pile was Murray's critically panned October comedy
"Rock the Kasbah," which grossed $2.9 million on an estimated
$15 million production, Forbes said.
Penn's $40 million budget thriller "The Gunman" failed to bring
in the crowds in March, collecting $10.7 million in box office
receipts and coming in second.
Clooney couldn't save futuristic summer offering "Tomorrowland."
Although the film grossed $209 million, Forbes noted that the
production budget was estimated at $190 million, not including
marketing costs. It was placed 14th on the list.
Despite an all-star line-up including Cooper and Emma Stone,
Hawaii-based romantic comedy "Aloha" was among the year's most-
publicized misfires, with a $37 million return on an estimated
$26.3 million production budget.
Efron's electronic dance music movie "We Are Your Friends" was
listed in 8th place and Depp's quirky action caper "Mortdecai"
was placed 10th.
Forbes compiled the list based on box office takings and
estimated production budgets for films that were widely released
in North America from January-October 2015.
