A box-office bomb or flop is a film that is seen as been highly unsuccessful or may be was not as profitable as wished making the producers to lose instead of gaining revenue. Most often it is due to the cost, production or too much effort put on the marketing side. In general any movie for which the production and marketing costs exceeds revenue gain out of it after it is has been released is considered to be a flop.

Dane DeHaan and Cara Delavingne seemed to be the wrong pair to cast in the leads role like of space agents Valerian and Laureline.

And then the final trailer also did not give further hints about the film base entirely on the film’s gorgeous landscapes and the alien creatures on the movie. All the trailers where actually useless as none of them gave information about the story behind the movie, nothing about what is going through the city, which
