The year 2026 will go down in history as a pivotal moment for the horror genre, with Obsession and Backrooms breaking box-office records in quick succession. However, the same cannot be said for the sci-fi films of this year. Aside from Project Hail Mary, which received critical acclaim and emerged as a massive box-office hit, a handful of sci-fi movies, both big and small, appear to have underperformed.The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first new Star Wars movie in seven years, grossed a little more than $300 million worldwide against a reported budget of $165 million, emerging as the lowest-grossing live-action installment of the franchise. More recently, Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day received so-so audience reactions as it passed the $160 million mark worldwide. However, the biggest sci-fi underperformer of the year is the one that's now redeeming itself on streaming.
