The 45th Golden Raspberry Awards are being prepared to kick off in March 2025, and fortunately for the ceremony which honors the worst movies of each respective year, there were quite a few major flops to choose from in 2024. Now fans can see the five films nominated for Worst Picture, and the nominations for the ceremony’s other categories, below.
Quite a few major blockbusters are being included for the 45th Golden Raspberry Awards otherwise known as the Razzies. The list includes a video game adaptation, a biopic, two superhero films, and one major filmmaker’s passion project. It’s a fairly diverse set of motion pictures, and movie buffs will no doubt be interested to see which film comes out on top.
Here are the five films being nominated for Worst Picture as shared via Deadline:
Worst Picture
- Borderlands
- Joker: Folie À Deux
- Madame Web
- Megalopolis
- Reagan
It’s not really a surprise to see these particular films listed, though it can be quite disappointing to see that there were so many failures considering three of the five were intended to be franchise films. Borderlands, an adaptation of the hit video game of the same name, failed to connect with fans of the games. Joker: Folie À Deux followed 2019’s box office success Joker and failed with fans and at the box office due to its subversive nature. Madame Web, a spin-off of the Spider-Man brand, was one of several flops Sony produced when attempting to create their own successful comic book film franchise inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As for Megalopolis and Reagan, those films were panned or otherwise failed at the box office for separate reasons. Megalopolis, a lifelong passion project for director Francis Ford Coppola, was self-funded by the director with his own $120 million. It only grossed $13.9 million worldwide at the box office. Reagan was another story entirely, with critics feeling as though the film felt too much like propaganda.
