Box Office Poison

Margot Robbie.

Joan Crawford at the end.

Timothée Chalamet.

Who else?

Joan Crawford in 1938.

A good year.

Actors unfortunately don’t carry movies anymore, the IPs do the heavy lifting. There are maybe 3 or 4 actors, mostly from the 90s, that still have some pull, but no one else apart from them fills a theater with their name.

Anyone that Hollywood has pushed in the last 15 to 20 years; typically bland, sexless, rich kids who have seemingly random, overnight big followings on social media (clearly bots).

Box office poison suggests another actor in the role might have resulted in a different outcome.

It's not just that the actor was in movies that didn't sell tickets. MOST movies dont sell any tickets today, they go straight to streaming.

Armie Hammer

Katherine Heigl

Jennifer Aniston

Shia LeBeof

the Wilson Brothers (Owen and Luke)

Jon Hamm

I would say Austin Butler, but no one even knows who he is.

Make no mistake they are panicking over at Team Chalamet Headquarters right now. His PR's narrative has been spoiled now that we know what happens when he doesn't have a franchise or genuine stars in the cast to help him out. The movie flopped hard and he didn't even get in at the Indie Spirit awards where he had won before. They can say he was borderline supporting all they want but what other high profile male actor was above him in that movie? Also, the rise of Austin Butler isn't making the situation any better.

Beanie Feldstein.

R16, no one cares about Austin Butler

R18 is correct. Nobody cares.

[quote] no one cares about Austin Butler

I care.

Musicals, especially about poor non whites

Some examples please, R21. I can't think of many recent musicals.

Box office BREAD?

O.J. Simpson

I wonder if anyone has taken Timmy's cherry yet.

Marlene Dietrich

R22. West Side Story and In the Heights, for starters.

Thank you, R27.

R1 = Nostradamus for idiots.

R15 and r18 = Morons who can't even Google.

2023: "Barbie" has passed $1 Billion, and is still in theaters.

2022: "Elvis" was a major success, carried by Austin Butler.

2024: I plan to be here when the Box Office totals come in for "Dune: 2." I hope you three return as well.

Kate Hepburn owns this thread

Lin Manuel Miranda

Disney live action remakes

R1 Lick your wounds bitch.

Christian Bale in recent years

This thread did not age well.

But, to continue...

Obviously Cillian Murphy, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and Margot Robbie are all total losers!

The Latina broad who has made all those scurrilous remarks about woken token Snow White

Peter The Midget With The Frozen Digit Drinkledge, or whatever the fuck his name is. Fucking prick, costing us jobs. I'll fucking bring him down to size!! Shithead

My Movies, My Cable Channel, My Theme Park,

R34 Even before Barbie, Margot Robbie has appeared in countless smash hits. She just had a bad year last Oscar season.

Ansel Elgort who never even bothers to show his arse or cock to make up for the lack of any discernible acting talent

Definitely Timothée Chalamet.

Every single film he's been in has been a box office flop. Except Dune and that wasn't because of him.

Here's a list detailed one box office bomb after the other. Audiences don't like him.

But still he gets all these roles. I don't get it.

R41 People want to fuck him.

Why, precisely, do people want to fuck him?

Alec Baldwin

Ryan Gosling before Barbie.

Ryan Goaling.

Gerard Butler. Halle Berry.

[quote]Margot Robbie.

Yeah...r1 ...about that...

Will Smith low key has become box office poison in the past decade or so. He is lucky King Richard is an excellent film. His only other hit was Focus with Margo Robbie.

R42: Perhaps secret pedophiles in Hollywood but I don’t think so for the rest of us.

R40: The lighting and camera angles are terrible but he does how his ass very briefly in an episode of Tokyo Vice.

R50 There are enough of them to keep him busy.

True 49. That's a good way to describe Smith now.

Ansel Elgort is weird looking.

R41: You know there are some people who won’t even see Dune because of their hatred of TimoTay.

R36 that bitch better pray Snow White 2024 isn't a bomb after all of her idiocy, though its looking bad right now, very bad, because after the disaster of 2021's West Side Story they won't even hire her to clean their toilets in Hollywood if it does (it will, and deservedly so).

Jennifer Aniston. I have no idea what gave her the impression that she could ever be a movie star.

Had he won the Oscar for Elvis as many predicted (I am glad he did not—he was fine, but it felt mainly like a Vegas impersonation), people would be hearing much more about Butler. It may be that it was his one shot at big stardom or he may have a second act down the road—he’s young.

[quote] Margot Robbie.

No longer!

Aniston is another one note performer who is more suited to television than feature films.

R58 Looks like a tainted future.

R55 If only they'd had a scene where Momoa spanked him for being a bad little prince, it would have been much more of a draw.

Butler really stood out in a small part in OUATIH. He could be an excellent character actor. He just needs to stop with the Elvis voice.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Chill out.

R41: He knows he's a repellent at the box office.

Roseanne Barr

R41 Call me by your name flopped?

Glenn Close

R69: Come on now she's had some hits like 101 Dalmatians and Fatal Attraction. If anything, she's poison at the Academy Awards.

Norma Desmond

Heartbreak feels good in a place like this.

Madonna

Jada PS

Faye

R73 Jada Pinkett is not now or never really ever been box office poison. She’s never really had a sustainable career as a leading lady outside the 90s but box office poison she is not.

I just read somewhere about the Meg 2 movie. It was not big in the usa & big biz everywhere else. So - does this topic take in world box office? I never really thought about it like that. Also - looked up Tom Cruise - i thought he had his day (ignore top gun 2) - but most of his films did ok in usa & huge box office world wide. So was Tom ever really box office poison? This post is really a question - what really is box office poison ?

Has Brie Larsen made the list?
