The worst movie title ever?
It has to be up there.
shareI have not seen this but I can think of worse. How about the Gingerdead Man?
shareThat’s a good title because it’s so dumb and amusing.
‘Executive Decision’ sounds bland as all hell, and conjures images of white collar bureaucrats armed with pens and whiteboards.
I’m almost certain its title is responsible for the mediocre box office.
Something like ‘Fire Flight’ or ‘Hijack’ would have brought more people in. Hell even ‘Sky Hard’ would have at least been amusing.
It made $122 million on a $55 million budget in a time when 2x production budget was considered the standard for whether or not a film was profitable. So the box office wasn't bad.
I'm sure that, especially once you factor in home video rentals and sales, the studio was pleased.
Executive Decision does sound bland, undoubtedly, but I don't think the title had much to do with its financial performance. It was a cool-looking action movie with Kurt Russell and a then-hot Steven Seagal. I went to see it.
Totally agree!
It did well but it would have done better with a less bland title.
However I think the award for the coolest movie with the worst title has to go to "Sexy Beast. (2000)"
