Hollywood entered 2025 with massive expectations — big franchises, major stars, and blockbuster-sized budgets. But as the year unfolded, it became clear that box office success is no longer guaranteed, even for established brands.

In my latest video on Ravi Film Club, I break down five high-profile films from 2025 that underperformed financially, despite strong marketing pushes and recognizable IP.

Rather than focusing on quality or fan reactions, this breakdown looks at the business side of cinema:

• Reported production budgets vs worldwide collections

• Why inflated costs are becoming a bigger problem than low attendance

• How audience behavior has shifted in the streaming era

🎬 Movies discussed include:

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

Tron: Ares

Mickey 17

Elio

One Battle After Another
