Gods of Egypt is the first big box office flop of the year as it took just $14 million in its opening weekend.

That may seem like a decent opening but not when considering that the fantasy epic reportedly cost $140 million to produce.

Deadpool remained in top spot for the third weekend running with Gods of Egypt in 2nd.

There were also some other flops this weekend with sports movie Eddie the Eagle and heist film Triple 9 both taking just $6 million apiece.

Here’s the full list of the weekend estimates from the North American box office via Rentrak:

1. Deadpool $31.5 million

2. Gods of Egypt $14 million

3. Kung Fu Panda 3 $9 million

4. Risen $7 million

5. Eddie the Eagle $6.3 million

6. Triple 9 $6.1 million

7. How to Be Single $5.2 million

8. The Witch $5 million
