What are the biggest turkeys that hit theaters this summer? We’re sharing our list of the five worst summer 2024 movies!
There’s never been a summer movie season without a few turkeys to go along with all of the blockbusters. The summer of 2024 was no exception. After rebounding from a soft start in May, the movie studios had a very good summer at the box office. But now that the season is coming to an end, it’s time to look back at the five worst summer 2024 movies as well.
Some of our picks barely made an impression during their short stay in theaters. And the top two choices below only came out within the last two weeks before they immediately earned their respective places on this list. In fact, the line between the two worst movies of summer 2024 is so thin that swapping No. 1 and No. 2 wouldn’t be out of the question. Regardless, we stand by our rankings of the five worst summer 2024 movies.5. Tarot
To be fair, Tarot would have been a terrible movie at any other time of the year as well. It just happened to come out during the first weekend of the summer. It’s essentially a low-rent Final Destination riff, as a group of attractive young friends, including Haley (Harriet Slater) and her ex-boyfriend, Grant (Adain Bradley), play around with some cursed Tarot cards. And the next thing you know, each member of the group is being stalked by a figure from the Tarot deck who has come to life.
This film can’t seem to find the energy to be either scary or interesting, and its comically inept at being a horror movie. And yet it still made a lot more money than either the top two films on this list could ever manage.4. Harold and the Purple Crayon
Last year, Zachary Levi headlined Shazam! Fury of the Gods, one of the worst superhero flicks of 2023… and that’s saying something! Levi’s not having much luck in 2024 either, thanks to Harold and the Purple Crayon.
