Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" Flops w/ $11.3 Million Friday opening

Finally opening this week after going through quite a controversial journey behind-the-scenes with its production process, Josh Trank's Fantastic Four has officially been declared a flop and earned only $11.3 Million on Friday in the US. The film, a new reboot that follows the 2005 film and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer, was plagued with criticism and nasty reviews from all angles, with even the director himself dissing his own movie and blaming the studio for numerous changes done behind the scenes.

Whatever the case may be, it's safe to say that this reboot has been labeled as "totally unnecessary" and far from being "Fantastic" by the fans and viewers alike. It's better if Fox gives back the rights to Marvel Studios and send the team, who was once proudly called "Marvel's First Family", back home.

Fantastic Four is currently playing in theaters worldwide.

The Top 15 Biggest Box Office Flops of 2011

Via The Hollywood Reporter, a list compiling the Top 15 Biggest  Movie Flops of 2011  has gone online, and among them are a few big name films that just didn't deliver to the expectations of many this year. There are no surprises here, and the story's running on the popculture network sites like Comic Book Movie and Bleeding Cool.

Here's The list via Comic Book Movie.

Mars Needs Moms - Budget: $150M; Global Gross: $39M 
Sucker Punch - Budget: $82M; Global Gross: $89.8M 
Arthur - Budget: $40M; Global Gross: $45.7M 
Green Lantern - Budget: $200M; Global Gross: $219.9M 
Cowboys & Aliens - Budget: $163M; Global Gross: $178.8M 
Glee: The 3D Concert Movie - Budget: $9M; Global Gross: $18.7M

New Year's Eve - Budget: $56M; Global Gross: $54.9M

I've seen most of the movies up in this list, and frankly it's hard to argue with the disappointing numbers put up here. Conan The Barbarian and New Year's Eve I understand, but Sucker Punch, Green Lantern, and Cowboys & Aliens in particular were marketed as big blockbusters, and they didn't fare so well after getting released in theaters. Hopefully next year's tally of flicks get better results. For more info on the story, visit the source posts at CBM, Bleeding Cool, or THR!
