Not even Taylor Swift could rescue "Amsterdam" at the box office.

The David O. Russell film which in addition to the pop superstar also features Academy Award winners Christian Bale and Rami Malek as well as Margot Robbie and John David Washington is turning out to be a massive box office bomb after garnering poor reviews and drawing few moviegoers.

In fact, the latest movie from the "Silver Linings Playbook" director "ultimately stands to lose anywhere from $80 million to $100 million," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film had an $80 million production budget and cost $70-80 million to market, according to the report, but is on pace to earn just a fraction of that.

The poor performance of "Amsterdam" adds it to the long list of big-budget movies that have bombed spectacularly, though it isn't anywhere near the top just yet.

Many of the films that lost the most money were released over the past two years, with the pandemic suppressing attendance at movie theaters and making it more difficult for some expensive blockbusters to break even.

These are the biggest bombs in box office history, according to data from Statista.
