Steve Jobs film pulled from 2,000 cinemas




The new big-budget movie about Apple founder Steve Jobs has been pulled from more than 2,000 cinemas in the US after flopping at the box office.

Starring Michael Fassbender and directed by Danny Boyle, Steve Jobs had been expected to triumph at the box office and go on to clean up during awards season.

But it only made $7.3m on its first weekend of release, well below the projected forecast of $19m. In fact, it only did marginally better than Jobs, 2013's universally derided biopic starring Ashton Kutcher, which made $6.7m in its first weekend, despite costing $30 million to make.

It's proof that big-name celebrities, talented directors and huge budgets don't guarantee a hit. Check out some of Hollywood's biggest flops...
