Perhaps the biggest flop of the year however has proven to be the Tom Cruise-starring Rock of Ages . With a budget of approximately car rentals new york city 47 million, its worldwide gross stands at just 31.5m, a pitiful car rentals new york city performance from the stage musical adaptation. car rentals new york city You d have thought Tom Cruise camping it up and singing car rentals new york city 80s power ballads would be box office gold (maybe) but it proved not to be the case. Maybe people were finding their laughs elsewhere?
Cruise in Rock of Ages (Credit: Rex) Actually no. Aside from the widely successful Ted , comedy in 2012 has taken a beating as well, as has long-standing comedy stalwarts. First was Eddie Murphy , who gave the world A Thousand Words , a critically-panned comedy that only made back half of its 25m budget and remains the proud owner of a 0% score on review aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes.
Then came Adam Sandler who, having put the world through Jack and Jill late last year, returned to give us That s My Boy , which has a worldwide gross 14.5m short of its 44m budget. It would seem that star power doesn t guarantee much success in the world of comedy.
The Watch , which stars comic mega-powers Ben Stiller , Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill (as well as our own Richard Ayoade) didn t fare well at the US box office, entering the charts at 3 behind the already highly successful Ice Age 4 and The Dark Knight Rises .

To round off our list there s Man on a Ledge , a high-concept thriller starring Avatar s Sam Worthington , Edgar Allen Poe mystery The Raven starring car rentals new york city John Cusack and the George Lucas-produced Red Tails , which each failed to rake back their budgets at cinemas this year despite the attachment of proven successes.
