Disney's epic John Carter to lose 200 million dollars The film, directed by Andrew Stanton, received generally negative reviews, gaining a 51 per cent 'Tomatometer' on the movie site Rotten Tomatoes. The Telegraph's film critic Robbie Collin gave the film two stars, saying: "Almost everything on screen is old hat." The film topped the UK box office last week, despite it's lower than predicted earnings. In a statement about the figures, Disney said: "As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the forthcoming releases of The Avengers and Brave, which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company." Last year Disney's animated movie Mars Needs Moms was one of the biggest flops of the year - selling on $40 million in tickets worldwide with a budget of about $150 million.
