Steve Jobs has become a box office disaster with Apple making more money in 10 minutes than Steve Jobs made in the box office after two weeks.
After spending five weeks in theaters, two weeks for audiences nationwide, Steve Jobs was removed from over 2,00 movie theaters late last week.
Steve Jobs only made $797,795 from 421 theaters, the previous weekend, according to studio numbers reported by Rentrak.
By comparison, The Martian, made $3,178 per theater in the same weekend.
Steve Jobs has grossed just 16.7 million domestically, on a production budget of $30 million, according to the numbers provided by Box Office Mojo.
After having pretty good reviews and performing pretty well in New York City and Los Angeles, many analysts assumed that Steve Jobs was going to be a Box Office hit movie. But instead, it was a box office flop.

“Commercial success is a validation, it keeps the film in the conversation, so this not doing well definitely hurts,” Contrino said. “I would still be surprised if Michael Fassbender isn’t nominated for Best Actor, but he’s not the leading contender any more. If an Oscar contender like this doesn’t take off during this time, you can relate it to a big action blockbuster not taking off during the summer, it just gets swallowed up because there’s so much more out there.”
But, Steve Jobs is not alone. Here are the five biggest box office flops from 2015.
| Title | Distributor | Domestic box office gross (millions) | Film production budget (millions) |
| “Aloha” | Sony | $21.1 | $37.0 |
| “Fantastic Four” | Fox | $56.1 | $120.0 |
| “Pan” | Warner Bros. | $32.9 | $150.0 |
| “Pixels” | Sony | $78.7 | $88.0 |
| “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” | Warner Bros. | $45.4 | $75.0 |
