What are some of the biggest box office BOMBS you actually went to the theater for?
I figured this would go nicely with my other thread. We're talking box office flops here, not movies you hated.
For me:

Waterworld
CB4
Showdown in Little Tokyo
Mallrats
MST3K The Movie
Streetfighter:The Movie
Showgirls
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy
Last Action Hero
Escape From LA
Godzilla

(I worked at a movie theater at the time, so I saw it for free. At least that's how I've justified it to myself.)

Two of a Kind
Hook
Streetfighter:The Movie
Howard The Duck
Showgirls

Actually, besides Showgirls, I don't know what the box office takes were for the other ones. But I'm always used to hearing them being labled as bombs.

Hudson Hawk for me too. Didn't think it was that bad, though I caught some on TV recently and wanted to jab lit cigarettes under my fingernails rather than listen to anymore dialogue.

Jingle All The Way wasn't exactly a box office winner but I don't think it was a bomb.

Wasn't Old School a box office surprise and did quite well considering its budget.

Van Helsing was not a bomb.
