Biggest flop of 2012 was Oogieloves, but this was really damn floppy regardless.

Nah, biggest flop of 2012 is John Carter;that movie lost Disney nearly 200 Million dollars.
I'll Teach You To Laugh At Something's That's Funny
Homer Simpson
Oogieloves is still the biggest box office bomb of all time for movies released in over 2,000 theaters.

Nope.
According to this, CLOD had one of the worst box office debuts in two decades. He had company In the Words, but it's Henry's face front and center.

The budget was 20 million.
No, suddenly, that appeared on Wiki, but the budget was always 35 million. I think the change to 20 million was to lessen the blow, but you have to think that Willis' salary alone would eat up a major chunk of 20 million. I would say on the low end, he would accept 11 million, which would not leave much to make the film, which required a lot of stunt work.
Here is a site that released the real budget cost and had it was posted for a long time.

While its performance was bad (though it should have been worse with the lack of promotion), that article states that overall box office weekend was the worst for the second weekend of September in two decades. Not that the movie's performance itself was the worst in two decades. In terms of theater average, the movie had the 154th worst average of all-time wide releases. That's bad, but there were 153 movies with worse averages.

Being the 154 worst film of ALL-TIME (of record keeping) is bad, if you consider the many decades Hollywood has been keeping up with the box office returns.

Would you expect better results for wide released movie knowing that there was no promotion whatsoever?
