Charlie Hannem and his sword
Probably, Charlie Hannema can be called an absolute champion in the quantity and quality of flops - no matter how painfully for us to admit it, but at once two films of this Hollywood handsome have failed at the box office, and the "sword of King Arthur" fell out of the rumble.
It would seem that Charlie Hannem, Jude Lowe, Eric Bana, and with such a director (Guy Richie) "King Arthur" sword was just doomed to success, in fact it came out quite the opposite. Only on the production of blockbuster was spent 175 million dollars, about 100 more, according to rumors, went to marketing, and at the King Arthur King Sword, defeated critics, earned only 148 million.
The second film of Hannema, the "Lost City Z", critics took much warmer, and it cost much less - only 30 million, although, in addition to Hannema, stars such as Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller and Tom Holland were busy. However, the adventure film did not appreciate the audience - in the global box office "The Lost City Z" managed to collect only 17 million dollars.
Scarlett Johansson and racial scandal
"Ghost in the armor" started at the rent at the end of March 2017, but the scandal around the film began much earlier - exactly at the moment when it became known that playing the main character, Japanese, will be Scarlett Johansson, and not some actress with Asian roots . Casting grew up the audience so much that the "ghost in the armor" did not accept not only in the United States, but also in China, which has recently been the second largest source of income for film studios after the states. As a result - the "ghost in the armor" gathered only $ 169 million at a budget at 110, and at the same time in a passing, it seems that I finally buried the director Rupert Sanders, who is scandalous after the intrigues with Kristen Stewart on the set of Snow White and Hunter.
Matthew McConaughey and Details from Canon
Not only the "ghost in the armor", but also the "Dark Tower" this year taught us that it was impossible to change the nationality of the main character, although the creators of the filmization of Stephen King's intention were exclusively good - why would they like to make the main character, Roland Diskan, Dark-skinned? "Fint ears," apparently was supposed to attract the African American segment of the audience to the film, and instead "Skilled" the decreement in the hire. Despite the brilliant game Matthew McConaehi in the role of the main villain and Idris Elba in the role of Roland, the Dark Tower at the box office earned only $ 111 million at a budget in 60.
"Mighty Rangers" and too much superheroes
While film critics predict that sooner or later, the audiences are tired of superhero blockbusters, Marvel stamps one such a film after another - and everyone collects hundreds of millions in the box office. Repeat the success of Marvel this year failed studio Lionsgate, which removed the "Mighty Rangers". Not a fame of the franchise itself (and a brand Power Rangers with toys, animated series and other other than the 90s), nor even such a step, as an introduction to the narrative of the first in the history of the superhero unconventional orientation, the film did not help. At the box office at a budget of 100 million "Mighty Rangers" mastered only 142.
Jennifer Lawrence and biblical references
Jennifer Lawrence regularly falls into all sorts of ratings of the most beautiful, sexual, sought-after and high-paid - but 2017 showed that only the presence of Jennifer in the cast "pull out" the film cannot. Picture "Mom!" From the director Darren Aronofsky in the rental failed, despite the star caste and the fact that the studio of the Paramount Studio defended publicly. "mum!" Studio cost 30 million dollars, not counting advertising costs, and at the box office, the film earned only 43 million. It is very likely that the whole thing is that the complex promise of Darren Aronophists with his references to religion a massive viewer simply did not understand.
