Movies with Mars theme have bad profit?

Today while I was having breakfast, I was reading an article in newspaper about movie John Carter. It said that it is expected to have a big loss. The most interesting part in all of the article is that it mentioned a few other films with mars theme being bad for payback. It mentioned these films: Red Planet, Mars Needs Moms, Mission to Mars and My favorite Martian.
I started to wonder if we just don't like something about mars. Or film makers just didn't have luck.

I think you're right, but it might go back to "War of the Worlds" radio show having such a bad affect on people. What scared people the most was not that it was a scary show, but that they felt as if the Earth were REALLY being invaded. Scared to the core and some of those people are still alive....
The second remake sure made Martians look even worse. I don't think you can improve horror. It's ugly and always will be....

But I'm wondering if it's a past life memory of thing with many people...? Maybe they "know" how bad it was there before Mars was destroyed... Or how bad life was on Mars.... Maybe Martians were really horrible monsters... Just thinking out loud...

I was thinking along the same lines. But top people in Hollywood, most probably know of this. And it had been shown that mars theme films are usually bad for business, and they are still making them.

Does that mean that they are somehow obligated to share important info, whatever the form of presentation. In that case if we look at the Mars now, it is thought to be a barren lifeless rock.

Does that mean that war has been lost (going with John Carer plot, or what I got from trailers - didn't watch movie jet) and invaders have come to earth, and some people think we should know, or have conformation of it, but this is the only way they can tell us and not be utterly discarded from mainstream media?

*cough* totaly has nothing to do with the fact they all have abo****ely horrible stories because they're rushed thru writing/production because the producers want a quick $$, right? *cough*

Like what we're seeing with alot of TV shows, and computer games in this day and age.

*cough cough cough*
