No one can deny that Harrison Ford has true star power. The actor’s iconic roles like Han Solo and Indiana Jones haven’t just established themselves in our collective zeitgeist; they’ve proven to be true box office hits year after year, movie after movie. (Read our homage to Harrison Ford <a href="//www.gafencushop.com/harrison-ford/">here</a>.) But actor’s path to silver screen success has been littered with some devastating box office bombs. Here’s a roundup of the worst Harrison Ford flops ever made.
4. <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blade_runner/">Blade Runner</a> (1982)
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video">
<video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-32242-1" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/BladeRunner.mp4?_=1" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/BladeRunner.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/BladeRunner.mp4</a></video></div>

Surprised to see this cult classic on our list? Don’t be. Although it’s now considered a cinematic gem, the original 1982 release of Blade Runner actually bombed at the box office thanks to stiff competition from competing films like E.T. The movie cost US$28 million, and it only just broke even during its original run.
3. <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mosquito_coast">The Mosquito Coast</a> (1986)
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-32242-2" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/MosquitoCoast.mp4?_=2" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/MosquitoCoast.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/MosquitoCoast.mp4</a></video></div>

On the surface, this utopia-turned-dystopian family drama seemed intriguing and full of potential. But the finished product left so much to be desired that it actually lost US$10 million. Ford was overheard saying at the time, “It’s the only film I have done that hasn’t made its money back. I’m still glad I did it.” Be that as it may, this dud is still one of the biggest Harrison Ford flops to date.
2. <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/paranoia_2013">Paranoia</a> (2013)
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-32242-3" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/ParanoiaTrailer.mp4?_=3" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/ParanoiaTrailer.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/ParanoiaTrailer.mp4</a></video></div>

The bubbling Harrison Ford-Gary Oldman chemistry so rampant in Air Force One was nowhere to be seen in this business thriller. Despite a rather hefty US$40 million production budget, the film only drew a paltry US$3.5 million in its opening week, and disappeared into obscurity soon after.
1. <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/crossing_over">Crossing Over</a> (2009)
<div style="width: 640px;" class="wp-video"><video class="wp-video-shortcode" id="video-32242-4" width="640" height="360" autoplay="1" preload="metadata" controls="controls"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/CrossingOverTrailer.mp4?_=4" /><a href="https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/CrossingOverTrailer.mp4">https://www.igafencu.com/video/1803/CrossingOverTrailer.mp4</a></video></div>

Numbers don’t lie, and in the case of this crime drama, they paint a devastating picture. The movie cost an estimated US$19 million to make, and ended up pulling in just US$3.5 million. In fact, its domestic opening weekend only managed to scrape up US$80,000, putting Crossing Over squarely at the top of our Harrison Ford flops list.
