The record-breaking performance of “Top Gun: Maverick” has dominated the year 2022’s box office, which has had several highs and lows. But, the Movie has also witnessed a range of super flop movies the as well.
The Top 10 Flop movies of the year 2022 so far-
10. Morbius
For many years, ‘Morbius’ has been the punchline of the superhero period. ‘ “Morbius’ was initially scheduled to hit theatres on July 10, 2020, but it was repeatedly delayed because of reshoots, worries about the COVID-19 pandemic, and the financial success of “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” The movie takes place in the Sony Spider-Man Universe (SSU), which also contains the 2018 films “Venom” and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” in 2021. The two “Venom” movies were pleasantly engaging, but ‘Morbius’ did not live up to expectations.
The movie follows Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto), a blood scientist, as he works to find a treatment for a strange sickness that he has come into touch with. Morbius accidentally turns into a vampire despite being able to heal himself by obtaining vampire bats from Costa Rica. He is now cursed with an insatiable bloodlust as a result of this. When his adopted brother Lucien (Matt Smith) acquires the same abilities, Morbius must emerge as a hero. Fun, huh? Sadly, it’s a dull trudge that fails to set itself apart from previous comic book adaptations. Although the movie links to the “Venom” and “Spider-Man” franchises, people weren’t interested in seeing it. At a projected cost of more than $75 million. After the lacklustre reception, “Morbius” memes became viral online. Leto hinted to a prospective sequel in an effort to claim control of the movie’s reputation. Releasing the movie in theatres didn’t work out, and “Morbius” flopped again.
9. Lightyear
Since the start of the epidemic, Pixar has been in an odd condition. Pixar’s “Onward” was made accessible on Disney+ sooner than anticipated, just after cinemas started to close in March 2020. Disney’s streaming service was also made accessible for the Pixar features “Soul,” “Luca,” and “Turning Red” before they were released in theatres. It is understandable that the company’s choice infuriated the Pixar team. A movie that was developed for the large screen deserves to be shown in its proper format since animation is labor-intensive.
8. Firestarter
In the past ten years, Stephen King fans have enjoyed an embarrassment of riches. King’s books and short tales have spawned several amazing adaptations, including “It,” “Doctor Sleep,” “1922,” “Gerald’s Game,” and “Castle Rock.” However, there are several King-related screen experiences we’d rather to forget: Despite being a film version of one of King’s most cherished books, “The Dark Tower” fell short of the potential of its inspiration.
Similarly, “Firestarter” from this year can be claimed to be. Both the original novel by Stephen King and the 1984 movie with the same name serve as inspiration for Keith Thomas’ 2022 movie.
7. Dual

This was indeed a flop as it couldn’t recover the budget on which it was made.

6. Gold
Some of the most cherished science fiction movies ever made were made in Australia. The dystopian idea was reinvented by George Miller in his 1979 Australian science-fiction western “Mad Max,” which is to be grateful for. There are great hopes for the upcoming picture, “Furiosa,” which continues the successful franchise that was started by that movie. Recent movies like “The Rover” demonstrated that Miller is not the only director capable of understanding the subgenre outside of “Mad Max.”
5. Attack: Part 1
This movie, about a paralyzed army commander, granted a second chance at life by a covert government AI experiment that transforms him into a super soldier, was the brainchild of actor and producer John Abraham. The movie has drawn criticism for its formulaic narrative and unnecessary violent sequences, despite Abraham’s plaudits for his portrayal as the lead. Abraham has more than demonstrated his ability to play an action hero.
4. Jayeshbhai Jordaar
On the surface, there was no reason to doubt that this comedy would be a success; Jayeshbhai Jordaar had Singh’s charm, a solid supporting cast, and an innovative idea working in its favor. Singh’s film, which tells the tale of a father who, in spite of pressure to create a male heir, would do all it takes to safeguard his unborn second daughter, earned mainly favorable reviews but was unable to capture the attention of moviegoers.
3. Dhaakad
One of the year’s worst disappointments, Kangana Ranaut’s portrayal of a secret agent trailing a mastermind of human trafficking received harsh criticism and flop from reviewers and failed to pique the interest of moviegoers.
This high-octane picture was pulled from several screenings within a week of its debut, making it one of the once-acclaimed actress’s lowest grossers to date, despite an international team of action directors choreographing stunt sequences.
2. Samrat Prithviraj
When he’s not acting in films that promote social concerns, Akshay Kumar portrays well-known historical figures in blockbuster roles. Unfortunately, this high-budget historical drama, which is based on the life of Rajput ruler Prithviraj Chauhan, was not well received by reviewers or spectators.
It received harsh criticism and eventually resulted in a flop for the industry. for its bland recounting of the life of a famous warrior; one reviewer even said that it “unfolds like a plain set of Wikipedia pages.
Shamshera
All eyes were on this eagerly anticipated action spectacular because of its staggering budget, and many people were hoping it would provide the much-needed spark at the ticket office. But there don’t appear to be many people interested in Ranbir’s venture into the world of the action hero.
Ranbir portrays a Robin Hood-like hero who leads his clan to liberation in 1871 British-ruled India. This is the super flop movie of the year 2022.
Shamshera is a catastrophe that requires more than simply celebrity intervention to save it. India Today criticized it for having an “outdated narrative and predictable premise,” while Bollywood Hungama did the same.
