A box-office bomb, box-office flop, box-office failure, or box-office disaster is a film that is unprofitable or considered highly unsuccessful during its theatrical run. Although any film for which the production budget, marketing, and distribution costs combined exceed the revenue after release has technically "bombed", the term is more frequently used for major studio releases that were highly anticipated, extensively marketed, and expensive to produce, and ultimately failed commercially. Originally, a "bomb" had the opposite meaning and referred to a successful film i.e. a bomb "explodes" at the box office and is successful, and continued to be used in that way in the United Kingdom into the 1970s.
