Facing goodbye to the filmmaken Marvel, Robert Downey Jr. decided to change the role, agreeing to execute the title role in the family fantasy "Amazing journey of Dr. Dulittla". Unfortunately, the film failed at the box office, having collected only $ 224 million at a budget of $ 175 million. According to the actor and scenario of the set of ROGEN, the studio Universal knew that Dulittl risks failed. On the air The Howard Stern Show Rogen about this said:
Some films are like the Asphara. It's how to buy a good designer project for your new home, but when it comes to construction, it turns out that everything turns out not as needed. Sometimes it happens with the films. In such cases, when watching you say to yourself: "Oh, yes this is the lies. Whoever be a screenwriter and director of this film, they lay down. " At first glance it seemed that the studio was received by an effective, functional film, but in fact it was not. They were sold as if the film scheme, which turned out to be insolvent. I just repeat the available information. I do not want to hurt anyone, but this is the case with "Dr. Dulittl".
It should be noted that the production of Dulittla was engaged in PK Films and Team Downey, while the function of the distributor took on Universal. In January, it was reported that the original version of the film was ready back in 2018, but it was considered unsatisfactory. It was not the bright family story to be calculated by Universal bosses. The initial option had a sad ending and missed many special effects. Subsequently, the project was brought to the project to adjust the script, making it more fun. Apparently, it did not work, because soon the Rogen replaced other scripts. As the box office showed, despite all the efforts, Dulittl was never brought to mind.
