Box office flops - Stormbreaker

Budget
$40 million (£25 million)

Gross revenue
$23,937,870

A number of films that are released are flops at the box office. Stormbreaker is a prime example with the film adaptation of the Anthony Horowitz making huge losses at the box office which has halted plans of a film franchise which includes the later Alex Rider books. The Main problem with film adaptations of popular books is the weak protrayals and the absence of key scenes from the book which weakens the film's narrative and appeal to its audience as a result.
