Yahoo has a list of the top 10 movie flops, but “Mars needs Moms” tops the poll.

Starred: Seth Green, Joan Cusack Cost: $150m (£96m) Lost: $110m (£70m)

Mars needs money. This animated adventure-comedy, produced by Hollywood ledge Robert Zemeckis, earned itself the dubious honour of having the 12th worst opening weekend of any film, ever. Considering its biggest actor by some margin was Seth Green, how it cost $150m (£96m) to make is a genuine mystery. One factor could be its descent into the creepy ‘uncanny valley’, whereby the motion-capture and rendering of characters falls into that hinterland of animation that’s a bit too close to looking human. But not quite. Zemeckis’ films ‘The Polar Express’ and ‘Beowulf’ also suffered from this. Whatever, this was a Herculean failure.

Ouch! That’ll put a hole in anyone’s bank account.
