Tech: The 10 biggest box-office bombs of 2017 so far, after a dismal summer

From "Fist Fight" to "The House," these are the movies that fell flat at the multiplex — so far.

The fall movie season has started strong as Warner Bros.’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel “It” has followed its record-breaking $123.4 million opening weekend by becoming the highest-grossing R-rated horror of all time two weeks later.

But there are numerous titles that have not found the same success.

For every 2017 hit like “It,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Wonder Woman,” there are movies that didn't find audiences like “CHiPs,” “The House,” and “mother!”
