About this ebook
Box Office Bombs explores why big-budget films with star power sometimes fail spectacularly. It examines the confluence of Hollywood finance, creative choices, and audience expectations that lead to these costly misfires. The book argues that even groundbreaking creative vision requires sound business principles and a deep understanding of audience preferences to succeed. The analysis focuses on project management, financial risk assessment, and marketing effectiveness in the film industry.
For example, the book highlights how overspending and poor script choices can doom a film, regardless of its marketing budget. Through case studies of specific failures, the book identifies common pitfalls. Organized into four parts, Box Office Bombs begins by introducing core concepts like film finance and production management. It then moves into detailed case studies of failures, synthesizes lessons learned, and concludes with practical strategies for improving project planning and aligning marketing with audience expectations, offering a unique perspective by combining financial analysis with creative assessment.
