Predicting The Biggest Box Office Bombs Of 2020

We're not actively rooting for any of these movies to fail - but there's something about each of them that carries the whiff of an inevitable bomb. We may be wrong, but thankfully for us, we're not the studio executives whose jobs depend on these turkeys turning a profit. Here are our predictions for the biggest box office bombs of 2020.

Matthew McConaughey's career rebirth, dubbed the McConaissance, has been good for the actor, and great for film and TV fans. However, despite the praise, box office results and even an Academy Award win for Dallas Buyers Club, this is still the same guy who recently signed on to star in Serenity, The Beach Bum, and The Dark Tower.

McConaughey has come far, but he's still prone to headlining duds, and the forthcoming The Gentlemen looks to be one of them. With Guy Ritchie at the helm, McConaughey leads a stacked cast including Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant. The British/American co-production is about a British drug lord who tries to sell his empire to a dynasty of Oklahoma billionaires. Sounds good, but in addition to McConaughey's spotty box office, there's the release date: January 24, 2020, just one week after Dolittle and Bad Boys for Life.

A movie doesn't have to be high-profile to be a bomb. Take Run, for example. It's scheduled for release on January 24, 2020, and we barely know a thing about it. We don't even have a trailer for it. All we know is it stars Sarah Paulson, and it's about a teenage girl who has been raised in total isolation by her mother, and then discovers that her mother has been hiding a sinister secret. That makes it sound like it could be interesting, especially since it's created by the team that made the underrated Searching. Unfortunately, there's been almost no promotion behind it, which would seem to indicate that Lionsgate doesn't have much confidence in the film, and is trying to quietly unload it during one of the winter dump months. Lionsgate has had a very successful 2019 with John Wick 3, so maybe they just want Run to quietly saunter away while they plot their next blockbuster. Keep watching the video to see how we are predicting the biggest box office bombs of 2020!
