Add "John Carter" to a list that includes "Cutthroat Island," "The Alamo" and "Heaven's Gate" as one of the biggest box office flops ever. The movie cost $250 million to make (plus, $100 million to promote) but has earned only $43 million domestically since its March 9 release, a shortfall that has been blamed on weak marketing and dispassionate fanboys. Disney said today it expects to take a $200 million loss on the film. The movie stars Taylor Kitsch as a Confederate soldier transported to Mars. Compelling stuff.
