• The Top Five Turkeys of 2008

  In honor of Thanksgiving, let's take a moment to recount the biggest turkeys Hollywood has turned out this year. The biggest losers of 2008, among major U.S. releases:
  

  Title	Budget*	Domestic Box Office	Return on Investment
  City of Ember	$55M	$8M	-85%
  Meet Dave	$60M	$12M	-80%
  Babylon A.D.	$70M	$23M	-67%
  Bangkok Dangerous	$45M	$15M	-67%
  Speed Racer	$120M	$44M	-63%

  
  

  *Estimated. Sources: Box Office Mojo and IMDB.

  Bear in mind that these numbers represent the biggest turkeys of the year thus far. The remaining days of 2008 could very well yield another flop or two. (We're looking at you, Australia and Valkyrie.)
