The 8 Biggest Box Office Bombs Of Summer 2016

While several films such as Finding Dory, The Secret Lives of Pets and even Suicide Squad (despite its poor critical reception) did some very impressive business at the box office, this summer season was packed full of dud movies.

Budget: $165 million

Domestic gross: 102.9 million

Worldwide box office: $383 million

After 2015 was the year of the nostalgic sequel, as reignited franchise movies like Jurassic World and The Force Awakens swept the box office, this belated sequel to 1996’s Independence Day must have seemed like a surefire hit.

In the result, unlike the aliens in the movie, Resurgence did not make a big impression on the world. Particularly surprising was its poor domestic gross when the ID franchise has always been geared towards American audiences first and foremost.

Though it obviously made a fair bit of money, with all that was riding on the movie, Resurgence is considered a massive disappointment. Though there were clearly plans for more sequels to follow, we can safely say that they won’t come to fruition.
