These Box Office Bombs Cost Actors Their Careers
Usually, companies like Universal and Disney make millions, but not always! These movies, including stars like Reese Witherspoon and Bruce Wills, were flops!
Gods of Egypt (2016), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Gerard Butler – $90 Million Lost
Warner Bros. Pictures
Summit Entertainment’s Gods of Egypt got off to a rocky start, even before a trailer or poster came out. Sure a cast of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gerard Butler, and Brenton Thwaites sounds excellent. However, when people found out these famous white actors would play legendary Egyptian gods, massive backlash ensued.
Things only got worse when the movie came out. Audiences said Gods‘ plot, in which an Egyptian boy teams up with the gods to save the world, was not only dumb, but hard to follow. Add to that wooden performances and horrible CGI, and its no wonder Gods of Egypt ultimately lost $90 million against a production budget of $140 million.
