Despot of Antrim is a YouTube movie critic who shows up on some channels that I like. He is often a guest on Critical Drinker After Hours, which I quite like.
He considers the year 2025, and the 13 worst movies of the year. Big-budget, Hollywood movies. Of the 13 movies he mentions, 12 lost money, some lost a lot of money. And that is based on the numbers published by the studios. We know from history that the real budget numbers for Disney movies won't come out until Disney files tax forms with the UK government for films that were shot in the UK. We should see those final numbers in 2026.
It was a terrible year for the box office. Movie theaters can't survive on this kind of revenue, and if Hollywood keeps making slop, no one will see a reason to go to the cinema, and no one will have a reason to subscribe to streaming services.
This is the Despot of Antrim video The Worst Movies of 2025. It is a long video at just over 2 hours, but it is conveniently divided into chapters so you can watch what you want, and come back later if you're interested. I love this kind of thing, but then I love movies. I just wish Hollywood would make some worth seeing.
