Biggest box office bombs: # 3 - The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)

“The Man On The Moon”

The third film on the list of biggest box office bombs is The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Our next A-list actor has his first appearance on the list. Eddie Murphy stars in such a royal flop that he actually refused to participate in publicity for the film. At least he non-verbally admitted it was a disaster. This film does have one of the highest percentages of money lost in the history of film.

Statistics

Budget: $100 million
Box Office: $4.4 million
“In the Red” by: $95.6 million or 95.6% of budget *

Plot

After his successful nightclub is blown to flaming bits, Pluto and his band travel across the moon looking for clues as to who is behind the arson. Along with Bruno and Dina, Pluto visits a seedy motel, his secret hide out and the casino of the most powerful man on the moon searching for the evildoer, only to find out that the destruction of his club may have been his own fault.
