TORONTO — It’s been a disappointing summer for movies made in Canada or starring Canadians.

According to boxofficemojo.com, nearly a dozen such movies have grossed less than $100 million in the U.S. and Canada as of Tuesday — placing nine of them in the bottom half of a list of the Top 40 summer releases.

Only 15 of this season’s releases have topped $100 million at the domestic box office this year and none of them were primarily filmed in Hollywood North (Man of Steel, the summer’s No. 3 movie, was partially shot in B.C.).

On the cusp of earning $100 million is the Toronto-made sci-fi flick Pacific Rim, which had a reported $190 million budget. It sits at No. 16 on the list of this summer’s releases.

Pacific Rim is far from a flop, though. Worldwide, it has made nearly $400 million.

At No. 17 is This is the End, starring Canadians Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Michael Cera. It has made $97 million — a reasonable haul given its $32 million budget.

The animated Turbo, directed by Canada’s David Soren and starring the voice of B.C. native Ryan Reynolds, earned only $79 million to rank No. 20 for the summer. It had a reported budget of $135 million.

Right behind Turbo is White House Down, which was mostly filmed in Montreal. It cost as much as $150 million to make and collected only $72 million at the box office.

In the No. 22 spot is the $155 million sci-fi flick Elysium, which was largely shot in B.C. and has made only $69 million.

The Smurfs 2, mostly made in Montreal, earned $62.5 million on a budget of $105 million and ranks No. 25. The good news is that foreign audiences love the movie, snatching up and additional $172 million to its total gross.

Red 2, which was partly shot in Montreal with an $84 million budget, made only $52 million, putting it in the No. 29 position.

It’s followed by the B.C.-shot Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, which has earned $48 million.

R.I.P.D., starring Canada’s Ryan Reynolds, cost $130 million to make but only took in $33 million domestically (and another $29 million around the world). It ranks No. 32 on the list of summer releases.

At No. 34 is the made-in-Toronto action movie Kick-Ass 2, which has to date earned only $22 million.

Also disappointing is the Toronto-shot fantasy The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, which sits at No. 38 with box office receipts of only $14 million so far.

The summer’s top three movies — Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2 and Man of Steel — have grossed a combined $1 billion.
