In response to "Original summer live action film of significant scale? Presuming Maleficent doesn't count, it's probably Pirates. -- nm" by David

Other notable misses: Prince of Persia and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

The only film that is even in the argument as a true box office winner is Sky High, and it's smaller in scale. Even their sports entries like Invincible and Million Dollar Arm disappointed relative to expectations in the summer.

Strangely, they've had better luck in the fall and spring than summer.

- Yes, I thought Lone Ranger and it went without saying, sorry. -- nm - David Jun 10, 09:36 6
  - Which is fairly stunning since marketing is usually where Disney is stellar. -- nm - pmb Jun 10, 09:44 1
    - Not for these types of movies, though. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:15
  - John Carter was a failure in marketing, and naming the movie, honestly. - groiny Jun 10, 09:43 2
    - Biggest failure was the name of the movie. "John Carter of Mars", I mean, c'mon. This ain't your "John Carter of Chicago" movie. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 10:51 1
      - The sequel will be Agent Carter of Mars -- nm - TWuG Jun 10, 11:05
  - They really have to be scratching their heads at this point. - Spawn Jun 10, 09:41
