After serving the entertainment industry for more than a decade, Margot Robbie finally found astronomical success in Hollywood, following her appearances inTheWolf of Wall StreetandBarbie.While the two iconic movies helped her land a spot among the highest-paid actresses, Robbie gained this phenomenal success after weathering a fair share of box office flops.
Navigating through brutal box office collections and starring in a string of flops, Margot Robbie experienced a few devastating career blows, despite having a stellar cast and acclaimed filmmaker associated with her projects. Therefore, today we’re taking a look at three of her most unsuccessful films —Amsterdam, Babylon,andThe Suicide Squad.
1Amsterdam (2022)
Although we have always witnessed star power ruling over Hollywood and determining the success of any film, Margot Robbie’s 2022 movieAmsterdamstood as an exception to that concept. Despite the film flaunting a lineup of Tinseltown heavyweights likeChristian Bale, Rami Malek, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Taylor Swift, and even Robert De Niro, the movie failed to succeed at the box office.
Even five-time Academy Award nomineeDavid O. Russell who directed the filmcouldn’t save Margot Robbie’s movie from crashing at the box office. Receiving a dismal 33% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes,Amsterdammanaged to scrape together a pitiful $29M collection at the box office as perThe Numbers. Inflicting a staggering $97M loss, the movie became a colossal commercial flop in Robbie’s filmography.

2Babylon (2022)
2022 was perhaps a cursed year for Margot Robbie as she yet again starred in another box office flop,Babylon. Much likeAmsterdam, evenBabylonflaunted a star-studded ensemble ofBrad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Emma Stone, and more, which similarlyfailed at drawing crowds to the theaters.Despite being helmed by Academy Award winnerDamien Chazelle, famously known for La La Land, Babylonwitnessed a lackluster box office performance.
Despite boasting some of the biggest names in the industry,Margot Robbie‘s movie earned a 57% RT rating and managed to collect a baffling estimation of $64M at the box office (viaThe Numbers), against its $110M production budget. Irrespective of the stellar cast and acclaimed filmmaker associated with the project, Robbie’s movie ended up being a cinematic drought of entertainment.

3The Suicide Squad (2021)
Finally, on our list, we have the notorious movie that led to public scrutiny of the DC Universe –The Suicide Squad. Despite the popularity of the superhero flick that starred the iconic Harley Quinn, the movie under the direction of DC’s current CEOJames Gunnfailed to make a proper impression. Featuring an A-list ensemble includingJohn Cena, Idris Elba, Pete Davidson, and Daniela Melchior, the movie stumbled at the box office.
Made with a production budget of $185M,The Suicide Squadmanaged to bag an unfortunate collection of $167M viaThe Numbers. Despite being powered by a stellar cast and being under the command of James Gunn, Margot Robbie’s 2021 DC movie turned into a grave failure that was etched in her filmography.
The Suicide Squadis available on Max.
