Worst Blockbuster Poster Nominees of 2003
Proof that you don't need a great poster to have a hit on your hands. Most of these won't show up in the year's worst overall posters, but they are the worst amongst the top grossing hits of the year.


Bringing Down the House
I suppose the poster does show the contrast between the two characters, but all I see is Steve Martin being himself and Queen Latifah being annoying. At least the tag line is funny.
Hulk
A rather daring idea, to conceal most of Hulk behind his own green hand as he reaches out to grab you. But it seems a little too obscure and claustrophobic. We want to see more. (Of course maybe that was the whole point...)
Something's Gotta Give
Okay, so we have a movie and it stars Jack and Diane. And Jack is wearing sunglasses. And they both have very nice teeth. Given the plot of the film, there could have been plenty of great poster ideas, but in this case, they didn't even try.
S.W.A.T.
Squeezing all of the characters' faces onto the poster wasn't enough, they had to toss in all of their guns as well. The end result just looks like a mess.
2 Fast 2 Furious
Another case where too many faces spoil the poster. Once again we have a poster that seems to have been slapped together with each of the character posters.

and the winner (loser) is...
