Desert Warrior, starring Marvel's Anthony Mackie, is predicted to be one of the biggest box office flops ever. The film, set in 7th century Arabia, follows Mackie as a bandit on a mission to help a princess resist a villainous emperor. Despite a reported $150 million budget, it has only grossed $517,508 worldwide, making a loss of approximately $149 million. Despite this, critics have praised the film for its efforts to keep the viewer entertained.
