Not everyone listens to what the critics have to say. They might say a potentially good movie is bad, or they might praise a film that makes no money for its creators.

The following are five films that bombed horribly at the box office, but in some cases, critics believed them to be good. Others star a constellation of popular Hollywood actors, but just don't make any money.
'Glitter' (2001)
Mariah Carey made her feature film debut in a love story set with the backdrop of the New York club scene. She played a young singer, overcoming a difficult childhood, who begins an exciting and volatile journey to superstardom. The production budget was $22 million (£16.8 million). The domestic gross revenue in the US was $4.3 million (£3.8 million). The gross worldwide revenue was $5.3 million (£4 million) and the estimated loss was $23.7 million (£18.1 million).
'Basic Instinct 2' (2006)
Sharon Stone stars as Catherine Tramell, has an accident killing her boyfriend, police search her car and find illegal drugs. Prosecutors send her to a psychiatrist, who determines she could be a dangerous woman. However, this doesn’t stop him from having a sexually charged relationship with her. Production budget $70 million (£53 million), US domestic gross revenue $6 million (£4.6 million), worldwide revenue $38.7 million (£29.6 million). Estimated loss $39.1 million (£29.9 million).
'Yes, Giorgio!' (1982)
This film stars Luciano Pavarotti in his first (and only) film as a touring Italian opera star. Before a performance in Boston, he mysteriously loses his voice and visits a throat specialist and the pair fall madly in love. One critic said you know you are in trouble when a film begins with nuns having a flat tire. Production budget: $19 million (£14.5 million). US gross domestic revenue $2.3 million (£1.8 million). Estimated loss: $45.9 million (£35 million).
'Delgo' (2008)
Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, Anne Bancroft and other stars voice the characters in this animated fantasy adventure in a magical world which is divided by fear. They should have been afraid – very afraid. The celebrities did nothing to make the film a success. Production budget $40 million (£30.05 million) gross domestic revenue $694,782 (£530,733) Estimated loss: $46 million (£35.1 million).
'The Majestic' (2001)
Jim Carrey stars as a blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter. After a car crash, he awakens with amnesia in a small town where locals mistake him for a local boy, lost in action during WW1. When he helps Luke’s dad and his high school sweetheart reopen the town’s only cinema, questions arise. Production budget $72 million (£55 million), gross domestic revenue $27.8 million (£21 million), gross worldwide revenue $37.3 million (£28 million), estimated loss $49.4 million (£37.7 million).
