2013's Biggest Turkeys: The Films That Flopped

Older stars like Sylvester Stallone and Harrison Ford can’t guarantee good returns at the box office. Neither can a hot up-and-comer like Benedict Cumberbatch. What’s a studio to do? Those big-name actors starred in this year’s biggest turkeys, the movies that performed the worst at the box office.

1. The Fifth Estate - 21% return
2. Bullet to the Head - 36% return
3. Paranoia - 39% return
4. Parker - 49% return
5. Broken City - 54% return
6. Battle of the Year - 55% return
7. Getaway - 58% return
8. Peeples - 60% return
